参考范文

The picture vividly depicts that a teacher is asking a student to answer a simple math-related question which is written on the blackboard. Unfortunately, the child wants to seek tech support to answer such an easy question. Undoubtedly, the drawer of the picture aims at reminding us that we should use technology in a proper way and do not overlook the importance of independent thinking.

In fact, the phenomenon conveyed in the picture does not surprise us, because as the science and technology develops, the topic concerning the side effects of technological advancement increasingly arouses people’s attention. It is well known that thanks to the development of human civilization, many formerly unimaginable things come into reality. But, while enjoying the convenience produced by tech, we must alert its harm. Being over-addicted to technology will cost our health, independence, wisdom, even our ability to live.

Weighing the pros and cons of the technology, I think as long as we can take advantages of high-tech reasonably, our learning process will be highly benefited. At the same time, we must keep it in mind that independent thinking comes first, while tech support just offers assistance. Only in this way can we benefit most in the learning process.

范文译文：

这幅图形象地描述了一位老师正在让一名小学生回答黑板上一个简单的数学问题，不幸的是，小学生在回答这么简单的问题时还要寻求计算器的帮助。事实上，我们对图画所描述的这种现象毫不惊奇，因为随着科学和技术的发展，有关技术进步的副作用已经开始引起人们的关注。

毫无疑问，图画的作者旨在提醒我们应该合理使用技术，不要忽视独立思考的重要性。众所周知，由于人类文明的发展，很多以前人类无法想象的东西成为现实。然而，在享受科技给我们带来便捷的同时，我们还要警惕它的危害。过度依赖技术会使我们失去健康、独立、智慧、甚至是我们的生存能力。

权衡科技的利弊之后，我认为只要合理的使用技术，我们就会从中受益。同时，我们应该时刻记住独立思考始终是第一位的，而技术只是起到协助的作用。只有这样，我们才能在学习的过程中受益。
