1) It is an undeniable fact that the advance of science and technology has brought great benefits to people. But when I'm enjoying the convenience and comfort of telephones, computers and microwaves, I miss very much our traditional culture whose loss is too high a price topay.(文章一开始就表明看法:虽然现代技术带来许多方便和舒适,但对传统文化的丢失似乎代价太高)

2) True, a computer makes my work more efficient and easier. For this reason I use my computer to write books and essays. But it always gives me a feeling of inadequacy and nervousness. What if I press the wrong key? What if something goes wrong? But writing with pens has never produced such a strange, awkward feeling. (承认电脑的效率,但同时感到有压力,而书写就没有这种压力)

3) I have a microwave. It really saves my mother's time. Throw the frozen or prepared food into it, and you will have a dinner within a few minutes. But I won't have the delicious food cooked by my mother any more. Cone forever are not only the traditional cooking, but the laughing and talking in the kitchen where I had a wonderful time when helping my mother peeling vegetables. (认为使用微波炉方便,但失去了传统的厨房烹调的乐趣)

4) I can't imagine what my life would be if I had no telephone. In terms of communication, it is directer and faster. But I have developed the habit of keeping my message as short as possible. Time is money and I couldn't offer a long talk. I miss the time when I took time in carefully organizing my ideas and writing as long as I like. It makes me feel relaxed and avoid the embarrassment of talking directly. I can conceive of the most beautiful and subtle language and express my inner feeling to the full. (承认电话的迅速直接,但书信更能从容表达思想)

5) I welcome the development of science and technology. I welcome new innovations and machines. But I hate the fact that man is more and more dependent on them to a point where we have become their slaves. I treasure traditional culture, for it embodies the very customs and values that sustain our friendship, family and spiritual life.(最后归纳总结,进一步说明传统文化的优越性)

闪亮点:

1.句型变化: Gone forever are not only the traditional cooking. (倒装句)Throw the frozen or prepared food into it. (祈使句) What if I press the wrong key? What if something goes wrong?(平行排比)

2. 词汇亮点: pay a price, take time, embody the value, sustain our friendship, conceive of, express my inner feeling to the full
