直奔主题，今天让环球颜王团杨亮老师给我们讲解一下2017年2月18日雅思写作文章。

　　Some people argue that the development of technology is making our lives too complex, and the solution is for everyone to accept a simpler way of life without using that technology. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20170218

　　仔细审题，不难发现，题干中有两个信息需要考生讨论。并且这两个信息之间还存在一个不简单的因果关系。下文的框架就是分别讨论这两个信息点。

　　Our life is being changed overwhelmingly at every second by the advancement of technology. As a result some people begin to cry out that technology puts our life into an extremely complex situation, and hereby the solution to fix this is also what the public are concerned about.

　　开头段，仍然是以一个背景介绍开始。然后用一个并列句讲两个本文需要论述的信息点阐明。

　　To begin with, there is no one who can deny the convenience brought by usage of technology in our life. Technology makes things that people thought impossible in the past come into being: people buy things nowadays without going out of their home by online shopping; modern means of transport carries people from one side of this planet to the other side every day.

　　主段一，从一个角度论述题干中的第一个信息点。

　　On the other hand, complexity is unavoidable. People’s social circle is substantially extended, which is to say that people in this present-day society need to deal with relationship with far more people than ever before. On top of this, with electronic devices that people have to use to enjoy a modern lifestyle being updated all the time, people have to absorb rather much information to stick with latest versions.

　　与主段一对应，本段从另外一个角度论述题干的第一个信息点。前文，先说明科技使我们的生活更便利了。本段又说明，在便利的同时，其实科技也给我们带来了不少麻烦。其实，这两个段落本身并不矛盾，便捷和困扰可以同时出现。

　　Consequently, pessimists to technological development suggest that people should give up using technology in our life, and instead a simple and easy life is what people ought to enjoy. Actually, without utilization of technology, people’s life must be in a big mess. Getting rid of primitive lifestyle is why people have plenty of technology. No people can stop driving their cars due to the possibility of car accidents. Eventually, what people are really doing is using technology to make our cars safer.

　　主段三，着重讨论题干中的另一个信息点，其实也是上一个信息点的“结果”。即是，因为我们的生活变得复杂了，那么我们是否应该放弃科技。尽管前文已经证明，我们的生活的确被复杂化，但是这个段落还是强调我们并不能因此放弃科技。反而，科技才是解决一切的根本。

　　In conclusion, technology is not only what gives us complexity but also what we are able to utilize to make our life easier and better.

　　结尾段还是简单明了地总结了全文。
