On March 24,2016 the great Dutch footballer Johan Cruyff passed away with cancer,who was widely regarded as one of the greatest players in football history and the three-time World Player of the Year.

“Words can hardly be found for this huge loss.”The Dutch FA said.King Willem Alexander of the Netherlands said,“The country has lost a unique and brilliant sportsman.”Gary Linker in Barcelona club added:“Football has lost a man who did more to make the beautiful game more beautiful than anyone in history.”

How many times have parents had to argue with their young son or daughter about getting their face out of their phone and focusing on the world around them? It’s completely normal for parents of grow ing children to be concerned about their child’s safety,but is their addiction to social media really harming them?

Social media was created to connect people with others online and has recently been added to smartphones,making it far more accessible than it originally was.This new way to easily be able to use social media has encouraged children and teens to begin to use sites such as Facebook,Twitter,and Instagram frequently.Maturing teens and children are usually very timid(胆怯)when it comes to socializing with their families,which they sometimes view as“annoying”.So,what do these kids use as a solution or an“escape”?The answer is simple.social media.However,when they use social media for a large amount of time,parents tend to show concern for their child and blame social media for demanding their attention.

The word,“social”,was entered into the term,social media,for a reason.Parents of growing teens don’t seem to understand that.When they see their child using Twitter or Instagram they think that they are using it to get away from real world responsibilities.The truth,however,is that they are using it to connect with their close friends,make new friends,and receive information about what is currently happening in the modern world.

Children and teens are wrongly accused for using social media only for entertainment purposes and for huge amounts of time.Sure everyone who uses social media enjoys contacting

their friends and viewing entertaining things,but how come children receive all of the blame for

2

abusing it? Parents should really think about how social media can help children and teens learn and grow in the real world rather than it just being another distraction(分心事).Social media as a whole has both positive and negative aspects,but after all of the feedback from pre-teens,teens,and parents is put together,it shows that media is actually helping the newer generations in their lives.

参考范文

Dear John,

I’m glad to hear that you are going to travel. Now I’d like to share my view on traveling with you.

In my opinion, traveling is a very good activity. When you get tired with your work or study and when you have free time, you can go out to enjoy the beauty of nature. You can breathe the fresh air, meet different people and make friends with them. Only by relaxing yourself will you forget your tiredness and build your health.

In order to have a pleasant journey, you need to make full preparations ahead of time. You’d better have clear informatio n about the weather, and bring proper clothes, a camera, some medicine for common injuries and diseases and so on.。 On your journey, you must pay attention to what you eat. Be careful with everything everywhere in case your money gets stolen.

Do you agree with me? Wish you a good journey.

Yo urs,

LiHua
