2015全国卷1英语作文
2015全国卷1英语作文Dear Editor,I am writing to express my concern about the increasing number of people who are addicted to the internet. This issue has become a serious social problem that needs our immediate attention.Firstly, the internet has become an integral part of ourdaily lives, providing us with a wealth of information and convenience. However, it also has a dark side. Many people, especially young students, are spending too much time online, which is affecting their studies and health.Secondly, the reasons for this addiction are multifaceted. Some students turn to the internet as a means of escape from the pressures of schoolwork and exams. Others are lured by the allure of online games and social media. Regardless of the reasons, the consequences are the same: a decline in academic performance and a negative impact on physical and mental health.To address this issue, I believe that several measures should be taken. Firstly, schools and parents should work together to educate students about the dangers of internet addiction and to promote healthy online habits. Secondly, stricter regulations should be implemented to limit the time young people spend online. Lastly, more engaging and educationalactivities should be provided to keep students interested and motivated in their studies.In conclusion, internet addiction is a pressing issue that requires a collective effort to solve. By raising awareness, enforcing regulations, and providing alternatives, we can help ensure a brighter future for our youth.Yours sincerely,Li Hua。
