It is suggested that everyone wants to own a car, a TV and a fridge. Do the disadvantages to society outweigh the advantages?

高分范文及解析

Introduction

To lead a comfortable life, it is commonplace that everyone desires a hatchback and sundry electric appliances. Personally, I tend to regard this as advantageous to society.

解析

老題，注意優(yōu)缺點都要從社會的層面去分析。還是要看出大作文的內核，所有人擁有這些商品，從屬的大話題無非是“科技”與“環(huán)境”的沖突。與去年12月的某題內核相似，讀者可以自己類比一下：The key to solving environmental problems is simple: the present generation is to accept a less comfortable life for the sake of the future generation. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

? hatchback n.[C] 掀背式汽車

Body 1

Admittedly, people who oppose such a trend do have a point. One of the reasons why we should not do so is that the environment has been impacted by human activities to a large extent. There are either instances where city-dwellers are suffering from chronic respiratory diseases owing to the poor air quality incurred by exhaust emissions of automobiles, or instances where the increasing usage of these household devices pose heavier pressure on electricity supply, further wreaking havoc on natural resources. // However, behind those problems are a silver lining, which indicates that such crisis can be resolved with technologies progressing. Worldwide, scientists devote themselves to developing renewable energy, which has already alleviated the aforementioned issues. 

解析

讓步（此類消費的壞處）：對環(huán)境會有一定程度的破壞：(1)用私家車 → 尾氣排放 → 有害人們健康；(2)用家電 → 更多供電需求 → 能源消耗增多

? impact vt. 影響

? chronic respiratory diseases 慢性呼吸疾病

? exhaust n.[U] 尾氣

? automobile n.[C] 汽車

? wreak havoc on sth. 對…造成破壞

? aforementioned adj. 前面提到的

Body 2

On the other hand, the consumption of those basic facilities can bring more benefits. As the increasing sales figures for cars and household equipment are often associated with more jobs and wealth being created for society, both economic and technology development will be spurred, offering better prerequisites to resolving environment crisis and improving the health level of the general population, while less frequent usage of those products will bring both economic growth and technology advancement to a standstill. More accurately, sacrificing the current comfortable life to a large extent means compelling people to enjoy less convenience brought by advancing technologies and thus working in a rather lower efficiency, which, in the long term, will demotivate researchers to implement scientific research for technology progresses and shackle the industrial growth.

解析

反駁：保留現(xiàn)有的生活方式 → 維持高效生產 → 促進經(jīng)濟和科技發(fā)展 → 解決環(huán)境和健康問題 [對比論證] 減少對此類商品的依賴 → 不便利性帶來的低效，反而會造成經(jīng)濟停擺，阻礙科技進步

? spur vt. 刺激；促進

? prerequisite n. 先決條件

? bring sth. to a standstill靜止（狀態(tài)）; 停頓，停滯

? compel vt. 迫使

? implement vt. 實施

? shackle vt. 阻撓

Conclusion

In the light of the above, the final verdict is quite crystal-clear. Though such a trend may cause health and environment problems, the disadvantages of leading a comfortable life pale into insignificance when set against the advantages, as economic growth and technology progresses will be stimulated with higher working efficiency and social productivity.

解析

重申觀點 

? verdict n. 意見；結論

? pale into insignificance 使顯得不那么重要；使相形見絀
