題型概述

Professor

When people are asked about the most important discoveries or inventions made in the last two hundred years, they usually mention something very obvious, like the computer or the cell phone. But there are thousands of other discoveries or inventions that have had a huge impact on how we live today. What scientific discovery or technological invention from the last 200 years—other than computers and cell phones—would you choose as being important? Why?

Student A

I mean, we’re so used to science and technology that we are not even aware of all the things we use in our daily lives. I would probably choose space satellites. This technology happened in the last hundred years, and it has become important for so many things. Just think about navigation, or telecommunications, or even the military.

Student B

I am thinking about medical progress. Like, for example, when scientists discovered things about healthy nutrition. I am thinking of identifying all the vitamins we need to stay healthy. I am not sure exactly when the vitamin discoveries happened, but I know they are very important. Our health is much better than it was 200 years ago.

In my point of view, I tend to be in favor of the argument that technological inventions should be focused more. With the development of technology, we can find the quality of our life gets better and brings more convenience, for example, the robot vacuum cleaner. Generally, people prefer to sweep their floor in their spare time and spend the energy to maintain the ground to be clean. Instead, the sweeping robot could free people’s hands and avoid tedious and repeatable tasks, especially for disabled people, they can get rid of the pain from the fatigue of daily routine.​ Also, it is more efficient for robots to sweep the floors because of a wider cleaning range. For the sweeping robot, they can clean areas that are difficult for people to clean, such as under the bed. While the robot could easily reach and keep the room tidy everywhere.

3. 任务完成度

这篇文章的任务完成度较高,但还有一些改进的空间。首先,文章没有直接回答教授的问题,即在过去200年中,除了计算机和手机之外,你认为哪项科学发现或技术发明最重要?尽管你提到了扫地机器人的例子,但这与教授提出的经济学课程背景关系不大。建议在文章开头明确表达自己对问题的看法,并在后续段落中提供更多相关例子和论据来支持观点。

示例1:在我看来,在过去200年中,除了计算机和手机之外,最重要的科学发现或技术发明是电力。电力极大地改变了我们的生活方式,并推动了各种行业的发展。

示例2:我认为,在过去200年里,疫苗是非常重要的一项医学进步。疫苗为人类提供了有效预防疾病的手段,并且挽救了无数生命。

4. 文章结构与组织

文章结构方面,可以进一步改进。首先,文章缺少一个明确的引言部分,建议在开头明确表达自己对问题的看法。其次,文章的主体部分应该更加关注于支持观点的论据和例子。最后,可以在结尾部分总结观点,并简要回顾文章中提到的论据。

建议1:在文章开头明确表达自己对问题的看法。例如:“在我看来,在过去200年中,除了计算机和手机之外,最重要的科学发现或技术发明是电力。”

建议2:在文章主体部分提供更多相关例子和论据来支持观点。例如:“电力极大地改变了我们的生活方式,并推动了各种行业的发展。例如,在家庭生活中,电力使我们能够使用各种家用电器,如冰箱、洗衣机和空调等。”

In my perspective, I firmly believe that technological inventions warrant greater attention. As technology advances, our lives improve in quality and convenience; take the robotic vacuum cleaner as an example. Traditionally, individuals would allocate their leisure time to sweeping floors and exerting effort to maintain cleanliness.

From my perspective, airplane stands as an significant invention from the last 200 years primarily due to its ability to save time for people. Nowadays, a majority number of people consider the time as a valuable wealth, and numerous individuals are unwilling to squander time in lengthy journey. Consequently, airplane becomes a main mode of trip for them. Technological advancement makes it achievable for people to travel between two cities within one day. Before the airplane was invented, however, options of vehicles for people were finite. Thus, trains and buses served as the sole means of travel. It was not uncommon for people to spend entire night on trains in order to reach their destinations.
