社交网络的利与弊作文英语【通用19篇】

Social Networking’s Influence on College Students

Social networking has gained huge worldwide popularity in recent years, especially among college students. In China, college student is the main force of social networking, 97.7% of which are fond of instant messaging and 80.7% prefer social networking sites like micro-blog and Q-zone (China Internet Network Information Center, 2013). Moreover, Michigan State University Original Study also finds that compared with Chinese students, American students are more tied to social media (2013). Therefore, nowadays there is a heated debate about advantages and disadvantages about social networking’s influence on college students.

Obviously, there are a number of positive features on social networking. It provides a convenient access to consolidate the relationship with people they know, make friends with strangers without restrictions of space and share happiness and sorrow. What’s more, social networking also has educational functions including reducing college drop-out rates, motivating students to work as a team, sending information about assignments, reminding students about deadline and stimulating students to help each other. (BBC News, 2009). There is no doubt that social networking plays a significant role in eiching students’ college lives.

However, every coin has two sides. There are also many disadvantages on the influence of social networking, among which, “soft addiction” is the most serious problem, distracting students from study. Because of lack of self-restriction, many students would waste plenty of time to search the social networking sites unconsciously, followed by a strong tendency to blame themselves (Li, 2013). This kind of “soft addiction” and distraction was also confirmed by Zhang (2011) who conducted a survey by questionare of 500 Chinese college students from different schools and found that 33% students could not bear one-week life without social networking and 77% students could not help themselves accessing social networking site during classes. Furthermore, a social experiment was performed by Harrisburg University (Pilkington, 2010) to figure out the effect after initiating blackout of all social networking sites. It turned out that some students became more concentrated on

the tutor and making notes instead of having instant messaging running in classes.

As far as I’m concerned, the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages, especially in China, where social networking is used for communication and entertainment and seldom plays the educational role (Li, 2011). The priority of a college student is to study hard instead of being addicted to social networking. Therefore, it is imperative for them to realize their “soft addiction” to social networking and correct their behavior.

Just as what is shown in the picture，a girl is asking a question online. Answers from different netizens differ so greatly that the girl is very confused about whom she should follow. It is obvious that it is becoming a fashion for people to ask questions online when confronting a dilemma.

The implication implicit in the drawing can be elaborated as follows. On the one hand， the Internet has provided us with great convenience. For example， we can get knowledge about nearly all aspects on the Internet with only several keyboard commands and a few clicks of the mouse through search engines such as Baidu and so on. On the other hand， with an explosive amount of information on the Internet,it can be difficult to tell good information from bad. For example， teenagers and adolescents may mistake the bad information online as good， the result of which can be rather devastating. Some dirty information on the net may exert negative impacts on people.

In conclusion， on the one hand， it is important for us to take full advantage of Internet to enhance our efficiency and save our time. On the other hand， effective steps should be taken to educate people to avoid and elude inappropriate and even wrong data online so as not to be misguided. Only in this way can the net better serve for our life， study and work.

Talking about Social welfare

A fair society must take special care of the poor,the sick,the young and the old ,because they can‘t earn much money like others.But they belong to human being.Their lives must be protected by the society .So the modern society must build a Social Welfare System to help them .

The system is different from the one that “recompense is made according to the amoumt of labour expended”.The system ensure everyone must get the lowest base of food,medical service,house,clothes and so on.If a country is more developed ,its Social welfare system must be better .

[网络影响弊端英语作文

如今，人们就网络对我们生活的影响展开了广泛的讨论，利弊分析英文。确实，网络就是一个利弊兼有的东西。

总的来说，大家普遍认为网络有如下两个主要优势。第一，网络让我们便捷地得到我们在生活、学习和娱乐中所需要的一些必要的信息和素材。第二，网络大大提高了我们日常生活的效率，比如购物和交流，为我们节省了很多的时间，精力和金钱。

当然，正如俗话说得好，每一个事物都有两面，网络也不例外。网络的弊端也是非常明显的。首先，我们从网络使用中享受到的舒服和方便让我们变得更加懒惰，进而对网络产生了太多的依赖。另外，网络也滋生了社会中的骗子，给他们提供了良好的生存土壤。

总之，我们应该尽力发挥网络的“利”，同时尽量去减少网络的“弊”。这样一来，我们就能更好地利用网络。

Newspapers and Websites

Newspapers and websites are two major new media in the world today, both of which can provide us with lots of news and information. But they’re different in some ways.

Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost anywhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.

On the other hand, websites are quite new and popular, especially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. What’s more, they are updated from time to time. So the latest news is always seen on websites instead of in newspapers. But it is not quite convenient for people without a computer connected with the Internet to get information from websites.

Should Internet Slang Be Prohibited?

At present, Internet Slang, such as “GG, MM, Xia Mi”，has become popular among the teenagers.

There are different opinions on Internet Slang. Some students think Internet Slang is vivid, fashionable and full of humor and intelligence. Besides, it makes chatting on the Internet quicker.

However, some other students think Internet Slang lacks depth of thought and is too simple. Also, it is hard to understand and not accepted by most people. The words sometimes might make people confused, even resulting in misunderstanding.

Every coin has two sides. In my opinion, living in the Information Age, if we don’t know the Internet Slang, we seem to fall behind the times. It will be OK as long as these terms are used correctly in proper situations.

导语：随着互联网的发展，网站慢慢取代了报纸的作用，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

报纸和网站

报纸和网站是当今世界上的两大新兴媒体，它可以为我们提供大量的新闻和信息。但他们在某些方面不同。

报纸有着较长的历史，每天都会出现更可靠的新闻和信息。他们可以携带和阅读几乎任何地方你喜欢。这么多人喜欢读。但它们只能包含文本和照片。

另一方面，网站是新的和流行的，尤其是在年轻人。网站不仅有图片文字，还有音频和视频，这使得故事更有趣。更重要的是，他们不时更新。所以最新的新闻总是出现在网站上而不是报纸上。但是没有电脑连接的人从网站上获取信息并不太方便。

The language develops as the media become various, many years ago, people used the language that was very formal, because most oral language was always the same as the paper language. But as the time by, people started to use computer, they shared the information, at the same time, many new language was created. The Internet language is in favor by people, they like to use it, because it is fashionable and very appropriate to express what they mean. I like to use the Internet language, it is so new and fun, what’s more, it is convenient, like I can use the shorten words instead of the long words. The problem of the Internet language is that it is very informal, it can’t be written in the paper, it will changes as the time goes by. In my opinion, we can use the Internet language in informal occasions.

语言的发展伴随着多媒体的多样化，很多年以前，人们使用正式的语言，因为大部分口语和书面语言差不多。但是随着时间的流逝，人们开始使用电脑，他们分享信息，同时，很多新的语言被创造出来。网络语言为人们所喜爱，他们也乐意使用，因为这很时尚，也能恰当地表达人们的意思。我喜欢使用网络语言，那很新鲜和有趣，而且，也很方便，比如我可以使用短的词来代替长的词。网络语言的问题在于非常不正式，不能书面书写，网络语言也会随着时间而改变。在我看来，我们可以在非正式场合使用网络语言。

The humn beings are stepping into the information society. The information industry develops very rapidly, so do the hackers, trick-playing teens, exploring children, fraudsters, and serious

wite-collar criminals. Thus, information security becomes an impending important issue.

In case of information breach, the victimsgovernment department, an organization, or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss. Government may be threated with national security. Companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects. And the publics and users will be damaged.

Then how to deal with this issueTechnology is only a partial solution to information security. Whats more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff. However, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a

prevention-only approach to information security mangaement is not enough. Companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combining prevention and detection techniques.

Advantages and Disadvantages Of the Internet

I think it is not all bad for millde school student to search the Internet.Some students play games on line.I dont agree it at all.It has nothing to do with their study.And it will make them lose the interests of learning.But also it is very nessary for us to search the Internet.In the modern world,using computer and the Internet is an important skill.We can use it to find some information that we need and communicate with our friends,teachers and parents.Sending e-mail and check out some international news are useful for us as well.

Internet may have been one of the most influential but disputable existences in the world, ever since its first appearance in the late 1960s. Internet has accelerated the world’s development with an incredible speed; nevertheless, it has brought this world many burdens. Nowadays, nobody can imagine what the world will be without this double-edged sword.

In my opinion, the most prominent contribution Internet has made to the world is, to offer every one of us such a convenient access to the vast outside information-based society. With appropriate use of Internet, the distances between people of different nations and countries are shortened. As long as you have a computer with network, you can easily get all kinds of information you need or the latest news from Internet, moreover, you can contact private friends or business companions all at your disposal via Internet. A coin has its two sides, and Internet is no exception to a coin. While bringing the world great convenience, Internet also gives out many negative effects, such as some porn websites, addiction in online games and so on. Especially the young people, with less self-restraint, if misled, will be likely to indulge themselves in the harmful parts of Internet. As a result, many of them lost their interests in study and eventually become, in a manner, uneducated people. Such examples are not rare in reports.

Given the above arguments, I honestly hope we can make good and full use of Internet, this marvelous fruitful creation of mankind. Although it’s a double-edged sword, with correct selection and decision, Internet has contributed a lot to the whole society and it will go on in this way.

Advantages and Disadvantages of the Internet

Internet is now coming into our life. It brings us not only a lot of convenience ，happiness but also troubles. Some students use Internet as a too to study. They look up the meanings of the words， a translated form of a sentence，the background of an event or a story ，the information of a company or a famous person，etc.

They also read news or send e-mails through it. Internet helps them learn more and study well.

On the other hand，some students play games，chat with friends ，see the pictures or films even the unhealthy ones on the Internet the whole day. They are not interested in their subjects. Its very dangerous for them!

The Internets advantages and disadvantages are shown clearly to us. I think we should make good use of it and stay away from the unhealthy websites. ​

互联网的利与弊

互联网正进入我们的生活。它带给我们的不仅是方便，快乐，还有烦恼。一些学生使用互联网作为一个研究。他们查找单词的含义、句子的翻译形式、事件或故事的背景、公司或名人的信息等。

他们也阅读新闻或通过电子邮件发送电子邮件。因特网帮助他们学得更多，学习更好。

另一方面，一些学生整天在网上玩游戏，和朋友聊天，看电影，甚至看不健康的电影。他们对自己的科目不感兴趣。对他们来说非常危险!

互联网的优点和缺点都清楚地显示给我们。我认为我们应该好好利用它，远离那些不健康的网站。

我们生活在一个信息科技发达的时代，网络的应用已经逐渐取代电话和电视，给我们的生活带来了许多的方便，已然成为我们的生活中不可或缺的一部分。然而随着网络科技的逐步发展，网络的应用逐渐普及，以网络为载体的犯罪行为也逐渐出现。企业电脑安全受到侵犯的比例为50%，1998年我国公安部破获黑客案件近百起，其中以经济为目的的计算机犯罪占70%，计算机犯罪能使一个企业倒闭，个人隐私的泄露，或是一个国家经济的瘫痪，这些绝非危言耸听。因而网络安全的维护变的越来越重要。

计算机网络犯罪的原因多种多样。（一）计算机使用者安全意识淡薄。很多计算机并没有安装杀毒软件或防火墙，或者不能保证杀毒软件的每天更新，这就给计算机犯罪人员以可乘之机。（二）网上贪图非法钱财。实施网络犯罪的动机多种多样，但从数量上分析，贪图钱财、牟取私利占大多数。（三）取证困难，证据有限网络犯罪留下的最多也仅有电磁纪录，而不会有指纹、DNA等证据，而且这些证据十分容易毁灭。（四）多数国家对计算机打击力度不大。大多数国家的法律对防治网络犯罪没有做大的努力，其现有的法律不足以对互联网犯罪构成真正的威胁。

在我看来，预防网络犯罪我们首先应该从在日常生活中建立一个健全的人生观价值观开始，而不是随性而为。网络在我们日后的生活肯定会占据越来越重要的位置，我们应该应用在学校学习的知识和生活中的经验，积极地预防和避免上当受骗。在平时积攒足够的网络使用经验和网络犯罪防范意识，充分的保护自己，远离网络犯罪的侵犯。

We live in a technology era, the network has gradually replaced the telephone and television, brought a lot of convenience to our lives, has become an indispensable part of our life. However, with the development of network technology, the network application becomes more and more popular and the crime base on the network also come gradually. The proportion of companies’ computer security violated is 50%.In 1998,our country the public security cracked hacker case nearly 100,the purpose for economy of computer crime accounted for 70%.The cyber crime can make a business failure, leakage personal privacy, or the paralysis of a national economic, this is not alarmist. Thus the network security becomes more and more important.

There are various reasons of cyber crime.First,the computer users security awareness. Many computers do not install antivirus software and firewall, or can not guarantee the antivirus software updated daily, which give the computer criminals an opportunity. Second,for illegal money online. The implementation of network crimes is various, but from the quantitative analysis,for money, gain on the majority. Third, the difficulties to get the evidence.The limited evidence of network crime left most also only have electromagnetic records, but there is no fingerprint or DNA evidence, but such evidence is also very easy to destroy. Fourth,the crackdown is not great on the computer in majority of countries. The laws of most countries do not make efforts on the prevention and control of network crimes,and the law is not sufficient to constitute a real threat to the Internet crime. In my opinion, the prevention of cyber crime we should first of all from the establishment

of a sound outlook on life and values in the daily life, but not his.The network will occupy an increasingly important position in our future life, we should use the knowledge learning in school and life experience, to prevent and avoid being deceived. Accumulating enough Internet experience and prevention awareness of cyber crime, fully protect ourselves, away from the infringement of network crime.

Cyber games are becoming popular. Properly engaged they bring you fun and help you relax. Advantages are evident. For one thing, you don’t see your partner so that you are completely at ease, thus being able to show your best. For another, you can choose your partner worldwide; you can even choose to play with nonhuman programmed partner. This may be more fun. Good as they are, they are not to be indulged in. Too much of anything ruins everything.

If I try these, Im sure he will make great progress soon.

With the arrival of the knowledge economy age, Internet, as a new media, has come into our life. Nowadays, getting on line and surfing the Internet for information has become popular in China, especially among college students and teachers. Why is Internet getting so popular in such a short time?

The popularity of Internet results from its great convenience and easy accessibility to information. Thanks to the Internet, a world of information is just a click away. E-mail is another contributing factor to its popularity. It can transmit your letter quickly, safely and accurately. Besides, Internet has some other uses. Doctors may use it to diagnose and treat their patients by discussing or exchanging experiences with doctors in other parts of the world. Students may obtain new knowledge from a national long-distance educational system via Internet. Finally, businessman can conduct E-commerce or E-business on the net.

With so many uses and advantages, there is no doubt more and more people will be wired to the Internet-the information expressway. In short, with its high speed and efficiency, Internet will be more popular in China in the near future.
