英语辩论稿--互联网的利弊

一、正方：In today's information age, the Internet is more and more strongly involved in our lives. First of all, the Internet is a virtual treasure-house of information. It makes that any kind of information on any topic under the sun is available on the Internet. Secondly, the Internet brings great convenience to our lives. Many services are now provided on the Internet such as online listening to music, watching movies, chatting, playing games, shopping, and job seeking. Often these services are not available off-line or they can cost you more. Therefore, I firmly believe that the Internet does more good than harm!

反方：Internet plays a very important role in modern life. It has changed our lives in many ways. However, it is the innovative change of the Internet that Pandora’s b ox is opened at the same time. A virtual Internet world, in which persons don’t know each other, they just identify others’ identification through online account. So that it is lack of basic trust relationship because all you know is only his/her e-mail or QQ number and you should not blindly believe in the Internet.

While more and more people lose themselves in online games, which is not only waste of money but also waste of time. The Internet is gradually damaged their physical and mental health. Even worse, some bad group s make use of the Internet to steal others’ privacy information, damage and control other people’s computer system, such as DoS, Trojan horse and so on.

All of the above statements prove that Internet has done more harm than good to society. 二、正方1：My opinion is “Internet does more advantages than harm”. One of the biggest benefits of the Internet is accelerating the flow of information and spreading education to all corners of the globe. Now there are a lot of searching engines on the Internet, such as Google and Baidu, we can get whatever information we want within only several seconds. Just like an old saying: Xiucai knows everything under the Heaven though he needs not to leave his home.

反方1：Please note, you only saw the benefits of the Internet, and ignored the existence of a large number of bad information on the Internet, the information has a very bad influence on people, especially teenagers, and even cause them to crime.

正方2:When we were young, parents and teacher often told us: Pick up the good and throw away the bad. But now, you are not only staring at the bad, but also exaggerating it. It’s wrong! Very wrong! With the development of Internet, the communication between people is more easily, we can communicate with others through a lot of ways provided by the Internet, such as QQ, micro-letter, MSN, Email, and so on. I would also say, Internet is just like a bridge of communicating between people.

反方2：Please note, you confuse a basic concept, the distance between people is to rely on

people themselves to decide, ever not the network. The network is changing people's way of communication. In the absence of the Internet era (age), we still can narrow (shorten) the distance between people, therefore, it cannot be said that the Internet has shortened the distance between people. On the contrary, people put too much effort and emotion in the Internet, reduced face-to-face communication with the family, friends and colleagues, so that the distance between two hearts increased, it makes people become distant.

正方3：This is just a social problem, not the wrong of Internet itself. So we don't need to discuss it. I want to describe another big advantage of the Internet. It is that the Internet makes the e-commerce developed. Now, more and more shops run online, and more and more people like online shopping, it brings great convenience to us. For example, I've just bought a pair of leather shoes from the Internet last week, it is 30% cheaper than the same products in entity stores, besides, it also saves a large amount of shopping time for me.

反方3：The Internet is convenient, but please note the Internet is unsafe. Hacker, computer virus, Trojan, network fishing and so on. It will make the Internet become very terrible. We may be cheated, lost money, even lost privacy. And I believe you remember the movie star Chen Guan Xi, his personal photos were for all to see. The Internet is too unsafe.

正方4：Although there are secure problems on Internet, but we can adopt many technique methods to solve them. I found a very interesting phenomenon. I have listed many benefits Internet brings to us, but you refute (驳斥) all of these through the problems of people, not the problems of Internet itself. So I still firmly hold that, the benefits of the internet are much greater than the negative impacts.

反方4：Excuse me, you ignore the harm of the Internet. It is very dangerous!

三、反方: Generally speaking, Like a coin have two side, the good side and the bad side, yes, the Internet really improve our life in some aspect, but isn’t all. So, the most important is how we using the Internet in our life, rather than the Internet itself. If we know what we need clearly and how to take advantage of Internet responsibly. I am sure it will affect our modern life in a positive way and make our life more wonderful and splendid.

正方：As Lu Xun had said, when the windows open, in not only the fresh air, but also the flies and mosquito es. Let's expand the good of Internet, reduce its harm, and make the Internet be our good teacher and friend!

Thank you!
