老实说,老外尤其钟情这个TOPIC

小new大学外教期末考的TOPIC跟这一模一样

如果考官问你:使用智能手机的利弊~

你会如何作答?

 

2. 参考回答

 

Smartphone helps us to learn more efficiently, and it has become an indispensable part of my study life. Every time when I come across a new word or terminology, I always take out my phone to look it up from e-dictionary or get connected online to search for its background information, I can always get quick and detailed answer. 

 

Also, I can strengthen and expand my social network with smartphone. I use lots of social network apps like Wechat, Twitter, and Facebook to update my daily routine, and send messages to my friends.

 

用手机查资料,拍下课堂的ppt或者同桌的笔记,和朋友视频语音通话。 

 

Psychologists think that those applications rob us of stopping cues.

 

A stopping cue is basically a signal that tells you “it’s time to move on”, “it’s time to try something different”. For example, if you are reading newspaper, in the end, you would fold the paper away and put it aside. But today, with the technological development, we consume the media with no stopping cues, news feeds just roll on, and everything is bottomless: Wechat, facebook, text messaging, TV episodes.

 

科学研究显示,当人们在电子设备上使用dating, social networking, gaming, news, web browsing这一类application时,常常是会觉得空虚或者不开心的,因为这些APP缺乏stopping cue。当被问及科技创新对生活的negative influence时,可在答案中提到stopping cue这一点。

 

科普:No stopping cue作为商业策略在casino,赌场中最为常见。在赌场里是找不到时钟的,好让来宾可以lose track of time。

 

3. 语言点复习

1. indispensable 不可分割的

2. terminology 术语

3. social network 社交网络

4. stopping cue 停止信号

5. casino 赌场

6. lose track of time 忘记时间

 

看完本期托福说

大家也该放下手机,好好享受real life的美好咯~
