        E-mails and traditional letters are the most important two ways of communication.And compare these two ways,we can easily find that they are quite different from each other in some ways.
       About speed,E-mails is the outcome of technology and the inevitable result of social development.Its appearance improves people’s communication speed rapidly.Now people can connect with other people within 1 second by e-mails.On contrast,traditional letters is much slower than e-mails.It usually takes several days or more for a letter to receive.
     About distance.No matter how far between two people,they can communicate with each other quickly and needn’t take thought of distance.However,traditional letters is not a good choice for long-distance communication.It will take too long for the letter to be delivered.
     About money(economy).It costs you hardly money for sending e-mails as long as you can surf the internet.But if you want to send a letter,you must buy an envelop and stamps first.And all of these will cost you at least 1 yuan.
     About sentiment.Reading e-mails gives people a feeling of reading documents because the words are printed and you can’t find the emotion of the addresser .However,traditional letters are written by hand,you can not only feel the mood of the letter writer, but also apperceive the writer’s sincerity.
     In a short,e-mails and traditional letters both have their own advantages and disadvantages.Communicating by E-mails is much more convenient,economical and faster while by traditional letters is more sentient.

I am so grateful for being a student in China. Here people treat education as one of the most important things and have been developing the Education System constantly. Today I will introduce something about it to you.      There are so many advantages of Chinese Education System. Firstly, students here have learned almost all the basic skills, such as listening, speaking, reading, writing and calculating when they were just in Primary school. Secondly, teachers here emphasize the importance of theoretical knowledge again and again so that most students’ marks of it are so good. And because of their steady foundation of theoretical knowledge, students can even learn the higher grade’s books by themselves. What’s more, under the pressure of examination, students have to master what they have learnt efficiently. During the process of learning, many students form good habits of studying. Of course, every coin has two sides; there are some disadvantages of Chinese Education System, as well. Frankly, Chinese education is examination-oriented. Many teachers and parents evaluate students only by their marks, so some students devote most of their time to studying textbook but spend so little time in practicing. Further more, some students pay too much attention on theoretical knowledge and ignore the importance of combining theoretical knowledge with practice.       In a short, we should make full use of the advantages and try our best to avoid the bad influence of the disadvantages.

Summary: Running electricity, mail delivery, telephone and television are all the causes of segregation from one other .For television gives people information, knowledge, news, romance, and advertisements, people needn’t set feet outside their doors like before. However, comparing the family life of modern people with that of their cave-dwelling ancestors, we can know that the development of science and technology may not always be good to us.    I agree with the author completely. The development of science and technology brings people so many advantages and benefits. It makes people’s life more and more convenient. With the help of television and internet, people can know what is happening outside clearly without being out. But it also causes some new problems. People become more and more lonely and the relationship between people is more and more bland. Many people can’t experience the interest of gathering gossip or sharing the laughs and laments of their neighbors. It seems that people can live without connecting with other people. Some people even consider that TV and internet can show you everything you want to know. In fact, what you see on the TV is always not the true condition; most of them have been embellished. Moreover, at a concert, or a ball game, or a political rally, the audience was half the fun. What and whom you saw in the audience was at least as interesting, and often humanly more important, than what you saw on the stage.    Conclusion: Every coin has two sides. On one hand, the development of science and technology brings people many advantages and benefits. It makes people’s life more and more convenient, but on the other hand, it segregates people from one another.

    China’s worst snowstorm in 50 years have brought a series of negative influence in many ways , such as migrant workers , transport network and people’s daily life.    First of all, the bad weather, which started on 10 January, has left millions of migrant workers stranded at station. And the heavy snowfalls even made it more difficult to get coal and food to stranded passengers.    Second, it was reported that there were about 20,000 trucks and cars stranded on the motorway between Guangdong and Hunan each day during the period of snowstorm. And the bad weather put huger pressure on the transport network for the railway expected to carry 180 million people between 23 January and 2 March and at least 15 airports were closed and 6,500 flights were cancelled during these days.    Third, the badly snowstorm caused people’s life more inconvenient. In many areas, people couldn’t use their electric facilities because of electricity shortage and it took people longer time to finish their houseworkThe sever snowstorm brought chaos to China in many ways. And in order to cope with the snowstorm, Chinese leaders took a series of measures, including send soldiers to help clearing roads.

Technology and education are the two most important elements of a country’s development. And it even can be said that their standard decide a country’s civilization degree directly. Moreover, their developments promote each other.

In fact, technology has become the most important element of deciding a country’s development speed from 20^th century. Nowadays, international position changes every second, technology progresses quickly, and comprehensive national strength competes more and more intensely. Technology is an important mark of human progress and it is also an important motivate of productivity development. And looking back the history of human civilization, we can find that every technological great progress caused the profound change of social productivity and great progress of human society. At the same time, our economy is becoming increasingly knowledge-based, creating new jobs based on the raw material of ideas and technical innovation.

Our economic power is determined by many factors, but education is arguably the most important. As a matter of fact, education is the foundation of technology development and the talent’s training. Recently, educational innovation and reform become the important reason of many countries’ prosperity.

In a short, technology and education are mutual support. Education trains essential talent for technological progress while technology development supplies the newest knowledge for education development. They promote each other and develop harmoniously.
