However, the professor contr
2、adicts the argument from three aspects.First, the reading claims that inaccuracies in many cased might be caused because some contributors often lack academic credentials. Conversely, the professor refutes that it depends on areas. There are many mistakes in the traditional, printed encyclopedias ev
3、en the authors have the academic credentials.Second, the reading says that the hackers would have opportunities to fabricate, delete and corrupt information in the encyclopedia even if the original entry is correct. On the contrary, the professor denies this opinion. She claims that the security of
4、internet is reliable and the hackers effect is disputable. It is hard for them to change the topics.Last but not least, the reading states that the communal encyclopedias would create a false impression of what is important and what is not because they focus on trivial and popular topics. Inversely,
5、 the professor disagrees with the view. She says that the space is limited. It is great to offer diversities and for readers to practice decisions.Writing 2: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Life today is easier and more comfortable than it was when your grandparents were childr
6、en.Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.Nowadays, as the development of society and technology, life today becomes more and convenient and comfortable. I would like to give a long list, such as computers for work, internet for communication, cars for transportation and air condit
7、ioners for accommodation etc. I can imagine that my grandparents must have lived a hard life when they were children without these new technology utilities. Therefore, I believe we are living an easier and more comfortable life than our grandparents were for the following reasons.Firstly, life becom
8、es much easier and more convenient with computers and internet. Both computers and internet are very important invents in past decades. With computers, I just focus on analyzing the data and making the optimal plans. Computers are able to relieve me from the arduous work on calculating data and sort
9、ing out documents. However, for my grandparents, everyday, they had to calculate huge amount of data and sort out documents with pen and paper because the computer did not appear at that time. Using internet, I can communicate with my relatives and friends through video chat. We are able to see the
10、others expression on the face when we are talking. It is helpful to catch the real meaning and tell whether he lies or not. Everyday, I exchange the ideas and opinions with my colleagues through emails.Furthermore, cars and air conditioners make our life more comfortable. For example, after I finish
11、 one day work, I tend to dive my car to a supermarket. When I get out, I put all the stuffs in the back of the car. I can enjoy light music in my car when I drive back home. It is a pleasant shopping journey. When I enter into my house, the air conditioner will protect me from too hot or too cold te
12、mperature. However, my grandparents told me about their typical shopping after work. They had to take bus to reach the market. They sweated and felt very tired when the get there. After the shopping, they had to take a crowded bus with more than 80 pounds of vegetables, fruits and bread. They were e
13、xhausted when they got home. The house was too hot to stay in. Why did they have the intention to cook dinner?In conclusion, we are now living an easier and more comfortable life than our grandparents were because of the occurrence of new technologies. The society is making progress. That is why I believe our children will live a happier life.
