Introduction

It is now a commonplace that people, especially youngsters, get themselves well-informed by utilising computers and electronic gadgets. Naturally, some argue that printed materials are no longer needed. Personally, I regard this argument as shallow and short-sighted.

解析

雅思写作又双叒叕考科技类话题，这已经是今年第5次了。科技类老生常谈话题，与之前的题目也有重合之处。审题时，可以把第 一句理解为背景，第 二句才是我们讨论的观点。(2022.01.15: Many people use social media every day to get in touch with other people and know about news events. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? 2022.02.19: More and more people no longer read newspaper or watch TV programmes to get news. They get news about the world through the Internet. Is this a positive or negative development? 2022.02.26: We can access information from the Internet easily. Some people say that libraries are no longer necessary. To what extent do you agree or disagree?)

Body 1

To a certain extent, advanced technologies, be they computers or digital devices, do have their edges. The most conspicuous one is that they provide the public with much more convenience. Taking full advantage of the colossal database established and information travelling fast on the Internet, netizens, by simply clicking on certain websites, can not only get informed at the moment when the latest news and resources have just been updated, but also dig the previous information rather than search through piles of printed books, magazines, and newspapers. Meanwhile, the progresses of electronic devices have made it possible to search information via portable palm-sized gadgets, which is much more convenient. In this sense, printed materials seem to hold the shrinking share in terms of accessing information.

解析

让步段，点出网络相比较纸媒的优点——便利性(获取新旧信息层面)。

Ø edge n. 优势

Ø colossal adj. 庞大的

Ø dig vt. 挖掘

Ø potable adj. 便携式的

Ø palm-sized gadgets 巴掌大小的小器具

Body 2

However, never does this mean that traditional forms, printed materials, are no longer necessary for the reason that they have the functions which the Internet cannot serve. To illustrate, the stories written on newspapers, books, and magazines are authentic, since the strict censorship requires authors and editors to be certain about minute details. By stark contrast, the information shown on the Internet may be fabricated, as some people tend to attract others’ attention. Those idle gossips are very likely to mislead the netizens who lack the ability to seek or distinguish authoritative sources. To guarantee the authenticity of information, hardly can printed materials be replaced. Additionally, those who reckon that paper documents are no longer needed also mistakenly ignore the demands of either the readers who are accustomed to paper reading or collectors who are fond of book series.

解析

强调纸媒的好处：1. 权威信息;2. 有群体习惯纸质阅读或收藏

Ø authentic adj. 权威的

Ø censorship n. 审查

Ø minute adj. 细小的

Ø fabricate vt. 编造，捏造

Ø idle gossip 无中生有的小道消息

authenticity n. 权威性

Conclusion

In a nutshell, at present never can the Internet substitute for printed books, magazines and newspaper.
