Part I Writing

【范文】

With the development of technology,robots are playing an increasingly important part in industry and our daily lives and when it comes to the role of robots,opinions vary from person to person.Some hold that the use of more and more robots will lead to greater productivity and facilitate our life,while others are concerned about the potential unemployment crisis it may cause.

As far as I'm concerned,we should embrace the progress of science and technology that will certainly benefit humans tremendously.For one thing,these intelligent devices will lay a solid foundation for improving industrial efficiency,which to a large extent promotes the development of economy and society.For another,robots can liberate people from tiring household chores and dangerous work,making life much easier and more comfortable.It cannot be denied that some specific jobs will be eliminated and structural unemployment will occur,but technological progress actually creates new job opportunities as well.

There is no doubt that the wide use of robots has brought about many changes in people's life and it will continue to make an impact.What we should keep in mind is that we should give full play to human wisdom and take advantage of technological advancement in a wise way instead of becoming too dependent on it.

【译文】

随着技术的发展,机器人在工业和我们的日常生活中正发挥着越来越重要的作用。当谈及机器人的作用时,人们的观点各异。一些人认为越来越多地使用机器人会使生产力提高,我们的生活会更便捷,而另一些人则担心这可能会造成潜在的失业危机。

在我看来,我们应该拥抱科技的进步,它无疑将给人类带来巨大的益处。首先,这些智能设备将为提高工业效率打下坚实的基础,这在很大程度上会促进经济和社会的发展。其次,机器人能够把人们从累人的家务琐事和危险的工作中解放出来,使生活更加轻松舒适。不可否认的是,一些特定的工作岗位将被淘汰,而且将发生结构性失业,但实际上技术的进步也会创造出新的工作机会。

毫无疑问,机器人的广泛使用已经给人们的生活带来了诸多变化,而且还将继续产生影响。我们应该牢记的是,应充分发挥人类的智慧,理智地利用技术的进步,而不应变得对其过于依赖。
