托福写作模板：当今孩子是否过度依赖技术

　　题目

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:

　　Nowadays, children rely too much on the technology, like computers, smartphone, video games, for fun and entertainment; Playing simpler toys or playing outside with friends would be better for the children's development.

　　Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

　　范文1：Argument 1 (for)

　　Children today rely too much on technology for entertainment. If children played with simple toys or spent time outside with friends, they would be physically healthier, be better at social interactions, and would have a working basis for many practical sciences.

　　分论点1:有助于健康 Probably the most obvious benefit of stepping away from technology and into the outdoors is an increase in physical activity, which directly transfers to increased health.Countless studies have shown that excessive sitting and watching a screen leads to obesity, heart disease, and other disorders(不运动的坏处). If kids are restricted in their use of technology, they will have to move more. They will have better eye-hand coordination from manipulating toys and throwing balls; they will have more muscle tone from running and riding bicycles or balancing on skateboards. Increased activity directly translates into increased physical health(运动的益处万能句).

　　分论点2:有助于社交Another reason that children should be encouraged to use less technology is so that they increase their social skills. If children interact, they naturally learn basic skills such as sharing and taking turns(社交的益处万能句1). In addition, their compassion and understanding will also grow(社交的益处万能句2). Children who interact with each otherbecome more articulate in speaking and expressing a wide range of ideas(社交的益处万能句3). Such opportunities do not exist when the child is hidden inside the house playing video games; such interaction is only possible face-to-face. Therefore, children should be encouraged to play with each other rather than entertaining themselves using technology.

　　分论点3：有助于积累经验 A final benefit of using simple toys is that children get a wide range of experiences that form the backbone of later study about sciences such as physics and engineering. By playing with blocks, bicycles, and balls, kids learn about balance, velocity, and gravity. Of course, the kids are not mastering the math behind the principles. However, they are developing a sound working knowledge that will help them understand the concepts in a way that they cannot do in the unreal world of video games where magic and fantasy are commonplace.

　　Playing with friends and simple toys, children become physically fit, develop social skills, and create a foundation for later study of the sciences. Therefore, children should be encouraged to spend more time doing such activities rather than entertaining themselves with technology.
