Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
“Technology has made the world a better place to live.”
Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

Nowadays, technology develops very fast. Our life is more convenient in
many cases thanks to the benefits of technology. I agree that people have a
better life on earth with the help of technology since it saves people from
natural disasters, improves the quality of their life and prevents diseases.
(You have to keep the order of the ideas here the same as that of the ideas
presented in the body.)

Firstly, technology protect human from natural disasters. Many kinds of
disasters make human be in danger, like earthquakes or hurricanes. In Japan,
many people died every year in 20 century because of earthquakes. Now,
with the help of technology, earthquake is not a big problem with Japanese
people. High quality buildings have been built to be stable in the strongest
earthquake. Also, with technology in fields of geography and climate,
people can predict about weather to know the time coming of a flood or a
tornado so that they can leave the dangerous places, or find ways to protect
themselves from those disasters.

Secondly, people’s living conditions are improved by technology. In
the past, human did not have any kinds of machines like what they have
now. Cooking, washing clothes and other things were all done by hand.
Technology now can solve that by many new invented machines. People
have washing machines, electric cookers to make them have more time to
relax or do other tasks. Moreover, technology helps people get rid of stress,
or life’s pressure. After a hardworking day, I go home and have a number
of choices to entertain myself. Playing computer games, watching TV or
chatting with friends let me get out of study pressure. At the weekend, I
can go to a movie theater to watch 4D films. This is an excellent benefit of
technology, which people can enjoy.

Finally, technology improves the health of human. Many diseases can
be treated by many heath care centers in the world. If I get a serious
disease, I do not have to worry much as I can go a hospital full of effective
technologies (like what?). In addition, many modern and well-equipped
gyms have been established, and it is easy to have a nice and strong body.
(Could you name some facilities or equipment found in hospitals or gyms as
examples of technologies?)

In short, the benefits of technology are fantastic. With the helpful
technology, people can do every thing they want and have more time to see
the colorful world around them.

It is no doubt that technology has made our lives better than past but it also creates some social problems, such as I don't know who lives in my neighbourhood because after study or work I enjoy with computer gams or TV channels, I am very active socially on facebook but I have never met with my neighbour.[/b]
