答案         Will Electronic Communication Replace Traditional Means of Communication?
    With the arrival of information age, the communication between people has become much more convenient than ever. Electronic communication media has provided us with high-speed and economical ways of communicating. However, in many respects it cannot replace the traditional means of communication.
    It is true that electronic communication media has its own advantages; the most conspicuous one is their high speed. By the means of electronic mail, the time spent in transit is greatly reduced. In addition, it has saved a large quantity of money. For instance, we no longer have to buy a ticket to see an opera. Furthermore, electronic communication has also brought us convenience: with the aid of a telephone, people thousands of miles away from each other can have a talk without meeting face-to-face.
    There are still many other advantages of electronic communication media, but despite all these advantages, it does prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication and therefore, is inferior to traditional ways of communication in some respects. First of all, the screen is emotionless: the words are emotionless: the sentences are emotionless: the mail is emotionless: no one sees the mood behind the letters. People are getting used to the lack of truthfulness on the Internet; who knows what kind of person you are chatting with? On the contrary, in traditional face-to-face communications each person gets a vivid impression of the other, and understands and thoroughly appreciates the other’s opinion and mode of expression. We see each other, hear each other, and can acknowledge what the other is really thinking about with only the hint of gesture.
    Secondly, it is rather hard to find real friends by chatting online. Many netizens simply regard chatting as a pastime, so they talk nonsense more than they talk sense. As a result, when you want to pour out your troubles, few are willing to lend a sympathetic ear. What’s worse, if it is a social networking site you are using for making friends, then adding the person as a friend means he will have access to all your details. The person if not good can misuse your personal details for malicious motives.
    To sum up, high-speed electronic communication media has its advantages, while the merits of the traditional ones can’t be overlooked. The traditional ways of communication outweigh the electronic ones without any doubt. The former should not replace the latter, but learn from them.
解析     本文结构合理，论证有力。作者在开头段清楚表达了自己的观点，即电子通讯无法取代传统的交流方式。随后，作者并没有直接分析电子通讯本身存在的弱点，相反，在第二段中，作者用整段的篇幅介绍了它的优点，并在第三段开头使用让步状语从句直接引出全文的主题，即电子通讯的确阻碍了有意义的、有思想的交流，因此，它在一些方面比传统的交流方式差。这样，文章便顺理成章地开始分析电子通讯的缺陷。这样的结构安排以退为进、先抑后扬，使全文的论证更为有力。在论证方式上，本文主要采用了对比论证和举例论证的方式，如在第三段中将传统通讯方式和电子通讯进行了对比，凸显了前者的优势；而第四段中电子交友网站的例子则证明了通过电子通讯交友的危险性和不可靠性。
