Whether technology has made the world a better place to live is a prevalent topic undergoing serioius debate After pondering it from several aspects, I totally agree it is true that technology has made the world a better place to live This I support with the following reasons

As we know, firstly technology can help people to live a longer life A small example can give some light to this point At the stone age, our ancestors’ average age is about 25 Due to the

development of medical technology, now people’s average age is two or three times of that time Another reason why I prefer to this choice lies in the fact that technology ameliorate the

environment in which people living in for example, thousand of yeas ago people lived in caves, which are cold in winter and hot in summer With using Architectural technology, people build up houses, skyscrapers Living in them, people enjoy the comfortable lives without worrying about the whether it is hot,cold or rainy outside

Finally I want to mention that technology has bring our lives more and more convenience For instance, many people like music, classic music or pop music At the beginning, people must go to the theater whenever he wanted to hear a song Today, by using great technologies, walkman and discman are supplied for the music fans Then they can enjoy their favorite songs anywhere and anytime

From what has been discussed above, we can safely draw the conclusion that technology has made the world a better place to live

Nowadays some may hold the opinion that advertising can tell you a lot about a country As far as

I am concerned, I agree with this statement My arguments for this point are listed as follows

One of the primary causes is that advertising is always a reflection of a country’s culture and customs Advertising varies from country to country, depending on the country's particular

conventions For example, a Japanese advertisement may feature a Japanese lady with traditional kimono, while an American advertisement may feature a western cowboy with a hat and ride a horse Through advertisement, we can have a general understanding of what people from other countries look like, what they wear during their daily life, what they eat, what kind of

transportation they use, and what they do during their spare times We can always learn different cultures of different countries through these culture specific advertisements

A further more subtle point we must consider is that we can understand a country by its products When we see a Toyota or a SONY advertisement on TV, we realize that Japanese people see quality as a vital aspect of their products, and we know that how these people are always trying their best in high technology development, and ensure the best quality in their products When we

have gained a deeper understanding of a product, we can also gain a deeper understanding of that country and people

What is more, when we become curious about the culture and customs of a country through

advertisement, we are willing to spend more time on reading about the country, explore more deeply about it, and even someday travel to a country we like to visit All these might have started with a small advertisement on TV! Is that amazing?

In short, advertising can really tell you a lot about a country's culture and customs

I strongly agree with the statement that modern technology is creating a single world culture Modern technology like computer and internet is bringing people together, and making the world getting smaller

First of all, with the development of modern technologies such as computers, English is becoming the most important language in the world, and the importance of other languages is getting weaker and weaker Admit or not, the most common language used today on the internet is English, this makes English becomes the one and only most important language in the world On the other hand, computers can cross the barrier of human language No matter where people are, and no matter which language people speak, they always use computers the same way, and basicly they are using the same kind of software packages, like Windows Operating Systems and word

proccessing software packages Computer language is also a universal language Programmers from different part of the world can work in the Silicon Vally Although they might have

difficulties in communication in English, they have no problem at all writing programs with Java,

or C++

Besides, the development of the internet is uniformizing people's life style Internet is being used

in almost every corner the world People are doing almost everything with the internet, like getting all sorts of information, shopping online, paying for their bills and checking their balances in the online bank Over 90 per cent of people in the world use the same kind of internet browser - MS Internet Explorer, and almost every internet page looks like the same, although they use different language and design People from all over the world are doing the same thing each day on the internet, and their living habit is becoming closer and closer with each passing day

In addition, modern technolgy has facilitated the communications among people from all over the world, and therefore result a single world culture For instance, people can chat with a friend or a stranger who lives abroad on the phone, internet, and they can also see and listen to him/her

through a camera and a microphone just like face to face This helps one culture learns from other culture, and bring the world together Before people can see each other through TV, they used to wear their local costumes; nowadays T-shirt and blue jeans have become a universal custom for people This is a concreate example that modern development is creating a single world culture Based on the points discussed above, we can see why I agree with that modern technology is creating a single world culture

In modern society, technology has brought us amazing surprises everyday Someone claims that modern technology is creating a single world culture I completely disagree with this statement I will list some of my reasons here

Firstly, I believe that modern technology has improved multi-culturalism and the communication between cultures With modern communication technology such as TVs and phones, we can see what people at the other end of the world is doing, and with a modern airplane, we can travel to every corner of the world This will greatly help us understand the cultural diversity of this world, and we will learn to appreciate the cultural difference of people from different part of the earth

Secondly, modern technology increases the communication between cultures Eastern people can learn good virtual from western culture such as politeness and self-cultivation; and western people can also learn a great deal of good virtual from eastern culture such as modesty and filial pity of one’s parents By communication, one culture can learn from other culture and evolve

Thirdly, modern technology helps us to preserve our cultural relics and world treasures, and

discover our culture in the past We can also explore and discover more about our past, and have

a better understanding of now and the future For instance, Xi’an is famous for its figures of

warriors and horses buried in the emperor’s tombs In the modern world, we explore some of these tombs so that we would understand the remote and longstanding culture of Qin Dynasty in China’s history

Indeed, modern technology has shorten the distance between cultures, and made this world

smaller But we cannot say that it is creating a single world culture On the contrary, with the help

of modern technology, we find this world more and more diversify and colorful

What things can be widely used in education, business, government, family and almost all the other fields all over the world? One answer is the Internet, which is a great communication tool in the 21st century Some people claim that the 21st century could not exist without the Internet Therefore, children and young adults should use the Internet freely everywhere Personally, I have the impression that there are some flaws in this seemingly indisputable proposition Children and young adults should not use the Internet freely for three reasons, and some safe programs and filters are indeed needed in the Internet

For one thing, the children and young adults that use the Internet freely might get the wrong

information by chance Children and young adults can be influenced easily by many new things The Internet is so wide that it includes some wrong information such as violence and pornography That information can cause many bad effects on the children and young adults, which are bad for them are growing For example, there is some violence information in the Internet After the

children and young adults watch that by chance, they might follow the violence way from the Internet to solve the problems Consequently, we have to use some kinds of software to block this kind of information This highly technical software has already been developed well Parents can just trust this kind of software in order to prevent children from accessing the blocked websites, which includes the wrong information

For another thing, the children and young adults using the Internet freely might cause some

computer problems As the Internet is used on the computers, it is related to the computers

closely The computer is a highly technical machine that sometimes is hard to control As a result, some bad things may have loopholes to get into the computer such as the computer viruses If the

children and young adults use the Internet freely without some safe programs their computers will probably be infected with computer viruses For example, many years ago, I used my computer on the Internet without any safe programs One day, I found my computer was abnormal and called a computer expert to look over it He said my computer must be infected with computer viruses from the Internet and suggested I use the safe program to prevent the viruses Since then, I have used the Internet with the safe program every time and never get the computer viruses any more

In addition, there are also some computer hackers on the Internet who always attack others’

computers or steal the data from others’ computers, which is a serious problem for the computer users Therefore, a safe program is really needed for the computer users to prevent the viruses and hackers while they are using the Internet

Furthermore, by using some filters we can save a lot of time to distinguish the useful and

unnecessary information Most people use the Internet to find and get information There are so great quantities of information on the Internet that we usually have to spend quite a long time to find the useful information Whereas, if we use some filters, we can distinguish the useful and unnecessary information easily For example, my E-mail box always receives some pornographic junk mail, which are very disagreeable After I use the filters to block those mails’ senders, that mail cannot get into my E-mail box any more However, the Internet is such an interesting thing that people who enjoy it may keep on surfing on the net People who have little ability of self control will lose themselves in the information highway spending a long time in front of the

screen, which is absolutely bad for their health Thus, the filters are quite useful when we use the Internet

Some people hold that children and young adults use the Internet freely can widen their eyes of the world However, I think using the Internet with the filters can also get the information much enough to widen their eyes Most parents do not use the filters because they do not know how useful the filters are The filters are so good now that we can choose the different ways to get the different kinds of information Using the filters can make the limit to help the children and young adults kown more about the things that are useful for them If the children and young adults use the Internet freely, they may lose their directions As a result, they might not only widen their eyes, but also waste a lot of time The filters can help us to prevent getting into the websites that

we will never use them anyway so that we could widen our eyes of the world by using the filters

As the Internet becomes more and more popular, the way of using Internet will also become more and more advanced Consequently, children and young adults should use the Internet with some new advanced programs to get the information easily They should try to learn the better way to use the Internet such as by the safe programs and filters As a result, the Internet will be really good for them

The Internet Provides people with a lot of information, but is this information valuable, or so much information create problems for us? In my point of view, every thing has its two sides, and the value of the Internet far outweighs the disadvantages it brings to us

The Internet has been beneficial to people around the globe My view is a commonsense one, based on the fact that the Web is a vast storehouse of information and opinion, which can be scientific, literary, political, sporting or sexual Anyone with access to a computer and a dialup connection can unlock the door and trawl through its offerings

The Internet can be used as a broad base of knowledge that contributes to the educational system Students and teachers benefit from the use of the Internet, as well as administrators and others

outside of formal education Students benefit because the Internet provides a resource to

supplemental information for any subject Educators benefit because the Internet provides a vast knowledge base to prepare for topics People are not only learning from the Internet, they are contributing and sharing knowledge through networked communities The Internet is the

advancement of education for all its users

Internet can deliver better customer services to people The Internet is changing the way we do business Using Internet broadcasting, we are able to target the right audience, prepare and present

a technical presentation on a popular topic, interact with new customers, and collect hundreds of highly qualified leads As Internet companies continue to find innovative ways to leverage the capabilities of the Internet for businesses, the more we will learn how to provide optimal solutions for customers Which in turn, will greatly benefit people

The Internet today is a way to transfer and share information On the whole, it is a benefit to

individuals of all kinds We do have problems surrounding the Internet that need to be solved, but

as with all new technologies there are debates and opinions Since the Internet technology is

spreading, it will soon become as popular as all other forms of communication If you have not tried it, do so

If you attend a conference in China, and would like to take a one-day-visit on site seeing and shopping, there are three factors you might consider: this place must have special tourist features which can represent China, and this place must be close to the place where the meeting is held, therefore you do not have to spend too much time on traveling

If you are in northern part of China, the best place that you should visit is the city of Beijing, although spending one day in Beijing is too short of a period to fully explore the splendors of the city Nevertheless, for those of you without the luxury of time, make sure you don't miss a few key points of interest the Summer Palace, the Forbidden Palace, the Forbidden City, and the Great Wall of China

The Summer Palace is a royal retreat located on the bank of a large lake Visitors can walk along a waterfront promenade that leads to a concrete ship docked at the far end of the walk At the

concrete ship, you can take a ferry back to the entrance of the palace Something you may want

to do while at the Summer Palace is go into the gift shop, get dressed in traditional Chinese

clothing, and pose for a souvenir photograph

The Forbidden Palace is absolutely breathtaking There are a series of gates that lead to the main palace grounds Pay particular attention to the stairwells in the palace courtyards There are slabs carved with intricate dragon designs, which the emperor was suspended over in a caravan

whenever he left the palace grounds It would be a good idea to get a local guide to lead you

around the palace and explain the significance of various buildings

Finally, don't miss the Great Wall It's located outside of the city and it takes up most of the day, but it's well worth it When you ascend the Great Wall, there are two paths one veering to the left and the one veering to the right The path on the right is less steep and an easier climb

However, if you take the path to the left, you can see the remains of the original wall, and there is

a cable car you can take down to the parking area

Shopping in Beijing is becoming more convenient by the day The Silk Market at Xiushui Jie is

favorites among tourists, experts and locals alike There you can bargain with the shop owners and buy good quality cloths with a very low price, you can even see plenty of pirated software-

ironically, within sight of the US Embassy

So, there you have it I encourage anyone to spend at least a few days in Beijing, because there are so much to see

If a foreign visitor has only one day to spend in my country - China, I will recommend him to live

in an average Chinese family for that special day There is no denying that the one-day experience with a average Chinese family will be invaluable for his life and future career, if given a chance to work or live in China in the foreseeable future!

As is known to all, to live with an average Chinese family for only one day, the foreign visitor could not get an overall picture of the average Chinese's life style and their culture; but in another way, even at the very beginning of being enthusiastically welcomed at the threshold of the house,

he must be overwhelmed by the enthusiasm delivered by Chinese people who are famous for their hospitality; so that he is given a vivid lesson about the characteristics of the Chinese people Of course, hospitality is merely one of the virtues Chinese people possess, but it is of vital importance

to get familiar with the natives, to read the thoughts of the natives through their manners, or even their gestures, and finally be emerged into the life of the native Chinese more harmoniously than those who do not have such an experience!

Besides, to live with an average Chinese family, a foreigner will get first-hand information about the situation of the common Chinese people's the life quality, their main expenses, and their

hobbies in their spare time and so on This first-hand information is of preliminary importance if

he wants to get an insider’s view of this country

The third reason is that it is the best way for a foreigner to confirm whether he has read or heard

in his own country is true or not is to look into the average Chinese people's life in person If a foreigner is also a well-informed person, he must be buried with bulks of information all shouting about the so-called "insider's view" about the circumstances of the life of the Chinese people in today's China; and if he is a critical reader, he should not swallow all that without even asking "is that true?" Accordingly, I would say to the foreigner that to live with an average Chinese family will deserve all your endeavour and it is the perfect way to spend your one-day tour in China!
