第二节书面表达(满分 30 分 )
In some middle schools, iPads are introduced into classrooms to replace traditional textbooks and assist teachers as well as students in teaching and learning. For us students, we have different opinions toward this phenomenon. Some of us hold the view that it ’ s a better way to save paper, which definitely does good to environment protection. Moreover, using iPads brings us efficiency and convenience.
However, others tend to believe that iPad costs so much money that not everyone can
afford it. Besides, if we spend large quantities of time playing games on it, there is a high risk of being addicted to it, which of course will have bad impact on study.
As for me, I ’m in favor of using iPad for we can search for abundant information which can ’ t be found in traditional textbooks. Of course, every bean has its black. Therefore, it ’ s a matter of how we can use it properly, not whether we should use it.。
