Like anything else, ATM has both favorable and unfavorable aspects.ATM has so many advantages. In the first place, ATM is convenient. People can draw money from it with a card everywhere. Besides, it is safe. If you lose your card, you don’t need to worry about it because people have to enter password in order to get money.Most important of all, when people need money at night, they can find a round-clock ATM and easily draw his money. Therefore, ATM solves the problem of money shortage.Just as everything has two sides, ATM is of no exception.To begin with,if someone inputs a wrong password three times by chance, ATM will withhold the card. To make matter worse, sometimes there is no money in some ATM, which makes people in urgent need of money quite disappointed or even indignant. Worst of all, if someone forgets password, he will not draw money from ATM. There is sometimes a long queue in front of ATM, which wastes a lot of time.Despite these disadvantages, an increasing number of people tend to use the ATM for the sake of/out of convenience and safety. I believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. And the drawbacks of the ATM will be desired little by little.练习 Direction: For this part yo u are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic On Stress.
