country. Finally, many people use social networks, likeFacebook, to make new friends and find people who share common interests, and they interact through their computers rathert han face to face.
学习点1：有些同学经常问我多观点的段落怎么处理，Simon这段话是个例子。大家可以看到，哪怕是多观点，也不是一语带过，内容的充实是很重要的，看最后一句话，使用faceBOOK作为例子，并用定语从句形容PEOPLE，增加了段落的内容
学习点2：create new possibilities 替代我们常用的provideopportunities for 学习点3：rather than后面可以加副词短语，留意和instead of的对比 学习点4：学习黄色标注的词伙
On the one hand, these developments can be extremelypositive. Cooperation between people in different countries was much more difficult when communication waslimited to written letters or telegrams. Nowadays, interactions byemail, phone or video are almost as good as face-to-face meetings, and many ofus benefit from these interactions, either in work or social contexts. On the other hand, the availability of new communication technologies can also have the result ofisolating people and discouraging realinteraction. For example, many young people choose to make friends online rather than mixing with their peers in the real world, and these ‘virtual’ relationshipsare a poor substitute forreal friendships.
学习点1：注意一些很多学生常会犯错的地方，譬如说 limited to 这里的to是个介词，需要加名词，然后benefit 是不及物动词，没有被动语态 学习点2：mix with = socialize with
学习点3：文章没有什么很难的句子，主要依靠and连接
学习点4：一些词伙in social contexts, real interaction, in the real world等等
弱点：这个段落是正反观点写一段，不是一个好的选择，尽量避免在考试中这样写 【6.11】
