【話題分類】

科技類

【題目解析】

題目大意：曾有預測說，隨著科技的發(fā)展，人們將會在21世紀有更多的空閑時間。你認為這個預測在多大程度上實現(xiàn)了？

【思路分析】

本題考查科技發(fā)展對于人們空閑時間的影響，與常見的科技類話題有一定的關聯(lián)，但是需要關注free time的方向?？萍荚谑聦嵣咸嵘松a(chǎn)力，減少了很多生產(chǎn)活動的時間，在數(shù)碼技術、網(wǎng)絡技術以及交通等方面的進步也縮短了人們日常溝通和出行的時間，生活方面也因為各類方便的家用電器而節(jié)省了大量的時間。但是同時人們也發(fā)現(xiàn)，工作時間并沒有縮短，人們仍然需要經(jīng)常性的加班，手機和通訊也使人們隨時可以被聯(lián)系到，侵占了私人的時間；機器的應用也加劇了勞動力市場的競爭，使得人們必須花費更多的時間學習掌握新的技能或是做兼職工作以養(yǎng)活自己。

【寫作思路】

開頭段：改寫題目，表明立場，雖然確實在某方面讓人們更高效，但并非增加了休閑時間。

主體第一段：說明科技發(fā)展對于生產(chǎn)力的提升以及使人們增加了一些自由支配的時間。

主體第二段：說明由于科技的發(fā)展并不必然會讓人們的空閑時間增加。

結尾段：強調個人立場，表明科技進步確實提升了效率，但是對于人們時間的需求也發(fā)生了改變，人們需要更多的時間投入，并且平衡工作和個人生活在我們人類自己。

【參考范文】

One of the predicted benefits of technological progress in the 21st century was that people would have more free time. While there is no doubt that technology has facilitated automation of many tasks and productivity increase, it is also clear that this has not necessarily translated into more leisure time for individuals.

On the one hand, it is true that technology has revolutionized many aspects of our lives and has allowed us to complete tasks more quickly and easily. In agriculture, for example, the use of machines has dramatically increased efficiency, meaning that farmers can produce more food in less time than ever before. Similarly, the rise of the internet and digital communication tools and the improvements of transportation have enabled us to work from anywhere, reducing the amount of time we need to spend commuting to and from an office. These technological advancements have undoubtedly saved time and make us more productive.

On the other hand, the same technological advancements have also led to an increase in the demands on our time. The availability of digital devices and the internet means that we are always connected and always "on" regardless of locations and time zones. Employees are often required to be available outside of traditional working hours in sacrifice of their free time. Additionally, machines have been replacing human workers in almost every area, which has led to intense competition in the labour market. People thus have to spend more time learning and honing new skills to secure their jobs or they have to work extended hours doing part-time jobs to make ends meet.

In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedly given rise to greater efficiency and productivity in many areas of life, it has not led to more leisure time. Instead, the demands on our time have simply shifted and changed, and it is up to us as individuals to find ways to balance work and leisure time in this increasingly connected and competitive world.
