For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then discuss whether technology is indispensable in education. You should give sound arguments to support your views and write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
From this cartoon, we clearly see that the student is asking his teacher about whether or not he can use some tech support to figure out the problem in his math class. What’s behind the cartoon is the fact that nowadays students become increasingly dependent on technological devices to help them with their school work.
In my opinion, with the advances in technology, students can learn more efficiently. First of all, technology provides infinite resources for learning. When our parents were students, they could only learn from their teachers, while nowadays, we can learn much more from the Internet. Second, it’s more convenient to learn with tech support. For example, I got enrolled in a Spanish class in an online school called Hujiang Online Class. All it requires is a PC or a smartphone, and I can learn the lectures anytime and anywhere. Lastly, it’s more economical to learn online. Besides the courses, free Apps are also easily accessible.
As for me, tech support has become an important part in my daily study. I will continue to learn in this way, and I believe that we can learn more efficiently if we are able to utilize the technologies around us.

参考范文：
The picture vividly depicts that a teaching is asking a pupil to answer a simple math-related question——what’s two plus two? Unfortunately, the child cannot answer such an easy question without tech help. 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.
Undoubtedly, the drawer of the picture aims at reminding us that we should use technology in a proper way and not be too tech-dependent to solve the simple problem independently. 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 ou

r health, independence, wisdom，creativity and even our ability to live.
Weighing the pros and cons of the technology, perhaps the best policy is to apply it properly. At the same time, we must avoid its harmful part. Furthermore, young people should be advised that depending too much on technology is hardly beneficial for them at all and more importantly they are expected to acquire the capacity to think independently.
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一个简单的数学问题：2加2等于几?然而不幸的是，这个小孩在没有计算器的帮助下居然无法回答一个如此简单的问题。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，过度依赖技术就会丧失独立解决问题的能力。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、创造力甚至是我们的生存能力。
权衡科技的利弊之后，可能最好的办法就是合理利用技术。同时，避免它的危害。而且，应该奉劝年轻人过度依赖技术对于他们百害而无一益，而且更重要的是年轻人应该养成独立思考的能力。
2014年12月英语六级作文真题范文3：科技与学习
　As is shown in the picture, a teacher is asking a student a very easy math question of 2+2, but surprisingly, he answers that he is going to use technology to solve this problem. Simple as the picture is , it makes us consider whether technology is necessary in education.
As far as I am concerned, the technology is useful in our education. There are several reasons responsible for my arguments. First and foremost, it can help students have access to the wide range of information. For example, the teacher not only can present the contents through PPT but also show students pictures and videos, and let students accept and understand what they learn easily. Secondly, we can save a lot of paper. The teachers just need to put the contents in the PPT ,in order to protect our environment. Last but not least, the teacher can use long-distance(LD) education to teach, and other teachers can join in the class and share a wealth of useful information with students.
From what I said, we can safely draw the conclusion that technology is good if we use them in a correct way in a certain extent.
