Topic：Has TV destroyed communication?
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
参考分析：
不能同意这个观点。一方面人们看电视的时间越来越多；另外一方面人与人之间的关系越来越冷漠。但是这两个现象并不是完全、直接的因果关系。造成人们关系冷漠的原因很多，比如，来自方方面面的压力：工作、生活。
范文：
电影和电视没有破坏朋友和家人的交流：
（1）电影和电视的很多内容正是朋友和家人聊天的重要内容。没有电影和电视，似乎聊天就缺了很多内容；
（2）我们在很多时候是和朋友和家人一起欣赏电影和电视的，这促进了交流；
（3）电影和电视现在的设计很多是让家人朋友一起参与，这实际上也促进了交流。
To agree or disagree with the statement that television has destroyed the communication among family and friends is a matter of balancing its pros and cons（赞成者和反对者）. However, if one considers the following reasons, he or she may disagree with the title statement as I do.
First, some people may hold the view that friends and family would easily fight with each other for the programs on the television that he or she wants to watch. For example, the child may be likely to switch to（转变，转换）the cartoon channel while the father wants to see the news program, and the mother prefers a romantic movie. However, as far as I am concerned, the scenario is an exaggeration.（这个例子有些夸张）I do not think such a trivial（不重要的，琐碎的）quarrel would destroy anything important, and as friends or family, the one result is to attribute to（可换due to）the communication. Each person would present their reasons for watching the program, so that next time they would not argue for the same thing again. They know the taste of each number of the family and they will probably try to avoid such conflicts.（文章在反驳，不至于因为这点分歧就闹得不愉快，如果大家都知道互相的爱好的话，就可以避免这些冲突）
In addition, television offers us numerous（许多的）topics to talk about. Television informs us of what is happening around the world. Everybody has his/her own reaction towards these events. Without television, we may hold the idea that no one would have the chance to share. When the friends and the whole family sit together in front of a television, a nice and intimate（亲密的）atmosphere is provided for communication. Through such kind of communication, family members can understand each other better. A small example may give some light to this point. Once I had some disagreement and had not talked to my dad for several days. One night, when my dad and I were watching television together, we found an interesting topic that both of us wanted to say something about it, so we said a little first and talk much later and all the unpleasant disappear out of existence.（作者认为，相反的，电视给我们的生活带来了更多的话题，让人与人之间的沟通变得更多）
So, in my point of view, nothing has been destroyed by television. On the contrary it might improve our communication.（结尾有点短，可以再多说两句，总结一下两个论述段的）
