范文解析

开头段

交代背景“媒体是关于沟通的，我想我们大多数人都同意，作为人类，我们需要沟通”，表示“我们在观看或与谁交谈方面有更多选择”。

背景句：The media is about communication and I suppose most of us would agree that, as human beings we need to communicate. We need to know what is going on in the world generally; we want to be entertained and to keep in touch with people. Older media, such as newspapers, radio and TV help us do this, but the newer media, particularly the internet and mobile phones go further.

个人立场：We have more choice in terms of what we watch or who we talk to.

主体段 1

iPhone可以使用互联网听音乐，玩游戏和观看视频。这一切都是即时的，便携式的。它让你感觉到被它控制了，它也有缺点。

观点介绍 举例论证：I have an iPhone which allows me - just by using one device - to make phone calls, use the internet to listen to music, play games and watch videos. And it's all immediate, and portable. It makes you feel in control, but there are disadvantages too.

主体段 2

人们总是发短信和发电子邮件，如果他们没有手机或笔记本电脑，他们会感到被切断。这些日子非常普遍，许多人都觉得这很令人担忧。我们周围也有很多广告，试图说服我们购买我们并不真正需要的东西。但我们应尽量不让它控制你的生活。

举例论证 1：People are always texting and emailing each other and if they don't have their phone or laptop around, they feel cut off. Also, have you seen a group of teenagers in a cafe where they're not talking to each other, but using their phones? It's a very common sight these days, which many people feel is worrying, as we seem to prefer using technology to face-to-face communication.

举例论证 2：We are also spoilt for choice - perhaps too much choice. There are so many TV channels, but so many of the programmes are poor quality. There's also so much advertising all around us, trying to persuade us to buy things we don't really need.

主题句：To survive in such a society, you have to be very aware of the power the media can have over you, your actions and your opinions, and try not to let it control your life.

结尾段

总结理由 重申观点：在我看来，毫无疑问，我们生活在一个媒体丰富的社会中，我们无能为力。我们可以做的是负责任地使用媒体，而不是让它使用我们。

To my mind, there's no doubt we live in a media-rich society, and there's nothing we can do about that. What we can do is use the media responsibly and not let it use us.
