Technology in the workplace
1. What kinds of equipment do most workers need to use in offices today?
答题技巧：何种办公设备是最常用的?
大家可以通过之前的日常观察，列举出一些办公室设备的名称以及重要性。
I think people at work rely much on modem technology, especially computer and Internet. Many people can't spell some words right because they are too used to the Office Software which provides users with the spelling check. They can also use Internet to collect data and information and analyze them. Modem equipment provides all kinds of resources which will be of great help to people's work.
Office Software办公软件 spelling check拼写检查
collect data搜集数据
2. How have developments in technology affected employment in your country?
答题技巧：科技的发展如何影响人们的工作?
大家都知道，这里的employment也指雇佣的意思。
通过“雇佣”这个词，我们可以得到回答的思路，比如：公共交通引入刷卡机制，就不需要那么多售票员了。
Technology has allowed computers and machinery to replace manpower. Also, it has made it easier to do some labour intensive jobs with fewer hours. I think it eliminated jobs via increased productivity and made work safer in many areas of industry. For example, a lot of welding on cars is done by robots, which was done by people in the past.
machinery机器 manpower人力
labour intensive劳力密集的 eliminate去除，消除
productivity生产力 welding焊接
3. Some people think that technology has brought more stress than benefits to employed people nowadays. Would you agree or disagree? Why?
答题技巧：科技带给员工更多的是压力而不是益处?
选择同意此观点会更容易回答，从压力方面去谈论，说出压力的来源(工作更加程式化，员工过剩造成减员)。
Yes, I do think so. There used to be plenty of mindless, repetitive and mechanical jobs in all three sectors of the economy, and lots of unskilled people who have to do them. However, with the development of computers and robotics, these people are now substituted by modern technology and are facing the threat of job security. As far as I know, there has been a huge number of people who've been made redundant because their jobs are rather routine and can be done by cold machines.
mindless不用脑子的 repetitive重复的
mechanical机械的 unskilled无技能的
robotics机器人技术 substitute取代，代替
redundant多余的 routine一成不变的
