　　【头脑风暴导言】：

　　“零电视族”、“无线互联网时代”、“手机客户端”，初见此题，这些词汇浮现脑海，所有科技产品对人们生活的影响无非是教育角度、信息角度、娱乐角度等。但是，即使是今日古稀之年的老者亦会使用微信交流，利用支付宝付费。免费的WI-FI在众多公共场所已然普及，手机之影响潜移默化，势不可挡。

　　【作家立场】：对比电视，手机给人们的生活带来更多的便利，因此，手机更多地影响了人们的生活。

　　【文章布局】：

　　首段：背景介绍 + 争议焦点 + 作家立场

　　二段：第一次支持作家立场

　　三段：第二次支持作家立场

　　四段：第三次支持作家立场

　　尾段：让步不支持观点的合理性 + 再次亮明观点

　　【思路拓展】：手机为何更多地影响人们的生活：

　　1. 交流角度：手机因其携带便利，可助人们危机处理。例如，老人出门感到身体不适，可以打紧急求助电话。再比如，年轻女孩错过了回家的末班车，可以通过电话求助亲朋好友。

　　2. 娱乐角度：手机阅读成为丰富人们精神生活的重要源泉。以我为例，我每日喜欢阅读和分享微信的朋友圈图文，在我遇到困境的时候，我喜欢求助于万能的朋友圈，通常，我的难题会迎刃而解，因此，手机成为我生活中不可缺少的部分。同时，手机成为现代人增强人际关系，拓宽交友圈的不可缺少的工具。例如，春季期间，人们习惯用微信拜年，发放电子红包，让亲朋分享快乐。

　　3. 便利角度：我喜欢旅行，在旅途中，手机APP 给我的出行带来极大的便利。我喜欢用手机软件在《去哪儿》网预定机票和酒店。这不仅便利省时，而且，我可比较和选择价格低廉，时间便利的航班，以及交通发达，口碑良好的酒店。我曾经自驾旅行，手机高德地图APP使我轻松抵达旅行目的地。

　　【思路拓展】：电视为何也影响人们的生活：

　　1.我不得不承认：电视作为重要的科技产品，对于特定人群亦有影响。以老者为例，很多人不会使用手机复杂的功能，依然通过电视了解时政，消遣娱乐。考虑到他们视力已然下降，因此，电视才是他们最佳的获取信息和娱乐放松的源泉。

　　The 21st century has witnessed the prosperity of high-tech products, the contrivance of the telephone and television has profoundly revolutionized people’s life in many respects. People’s views differ greatly as to whether or not telephone exerts a far more profound impact on their lives compared with television.

　　二段： 电视为何更多地影响人们的生活：谈及电视的教育功能

　　My first convincing argument could be easily explored. A variety of television shows have been gradually becoming an effective way to entertain modern people, who are living under a pool of pressure due to academic study or heavy workload. As for those students, so busy is the study life and so huge is the study stress that they nearly have no time available to enjoy some amusements such as playing games or hanging out with their friends, thus, watching television greatly conduces to relaxing their bodies and easing their minds. A survey conducted by Vista can justify my stand, after polling many teenagers, many respondents claimed that having a short break via watching television is their best stress-reducer.

　　【解析】：

　　1. So busy is the study life and so huge is the study stress that they nearly have no time available to enjoy some amusements 学生，生活繁忙，压力巨大，以至于他们没有时间娱乐放松。

　　三段：电视为何更多地影响人们的生活：谈及电视的娱乐功能

　　This issue reminds me of my friend Paul, who is a father with a eighteen-year-old child. As he said, some excellent TV programs such as “Lecture Room” can perfectly enact the role of educator, which can broaden children’s mental horizons and enlighten children’s wisdom. More precisely, those TV programs could exert a beneficial influence on children, namely, instructive programs could help those who are in the formative years to acquire a wealth of knowledge in different fields unconsciously.

　　【解析】：

　　1. Some excellent TV programs such as “Lecture Room” can perfectly enact the role of educator 一些优秀的电视节目，例如《百家讲坛》可完美扮演教育者的角色。

　　2. broaden children’s mental horizons and enlighten children’s wisdom 可以拓宽孩子视野，启迪孩子智慧。

　　3. Instructive programs could help those who are in the formative years to acquire a wealth of knowledge in different fields unconsciously. 有教育意义的电视节目可以帮助孩子们不知不觉中学习很多领域的知识。

　　四段：电话为何也对人们的生活有影响：

　　Indeed, I have to concede that telephone also has indispensable roles to play in modern people’s life, especially serving the function of mutual communication. Thanks to the invention of the telephone, the distance among modern people has become more intimate. For instance, a large number of people use cell phone QQ, Skype and other App to chat with their friends or parents no matter how for they live from them. What I want to rebut，however，is that in comparison with the mobile phone, television could impose more positive influence on one’s mental growth, charter-training and acquisition of knowledge.

　　【解析】：

　　1. Telephone also has indispensable roles to play in modern people’s life 电话在人们的生活中也可以发挥不可缺少的作用。

　　2. What I want to rebut，however，is that …… 但是，我想要反驳的是……

　　3. Television could impose more positive influence on one’s mental growth, charter-training and acquisition of knowledge. 对于个人的精神成长，性格培养，知识习得，电视的积极影响更大。

　　尾段：再次亮明观点 + (总结理由)

　　In a nutshell, my stand is that the limited benefits of the telephone could never outshine the entertainment and the educational benefits brought about by the television.

　　【解析】：

　　The limited benefits of the telephone could never outshine the entertainment and the educational benefits brought about by the television. 电话有限的利好是无法超越电视在娱乐和教育方面的利好的。
