To what extent do you agree with this opinion? The progression of computer is inevitable and undeniable. Nowadays computers also have become a part of our daily life. Instead of leaving home to go to shop bank and work people can do these at home by clicking the buttons. However, some people hold the opinion that it will cause people isolated from each other and lose social skills.Personally I find it hard for me to agree with this opinion by following reasons.考试用书In the first instance, computers are tool to communication with people instead of isolation from the world. When we say a person is isolated it means that he is lonely and cut off the world. However, people seldom have this feeling while they are surfing the Internet. On the contrary, people tend to make morefriends through the netSecondly, people also can acquire social skills on Internet. Communication on Internet has the same purpose as face-to-face communication has. For example, through Internet we can send greeting cards to our friends. Furthermore, sometimes it might be a better way of communication on some occasions such as when you find it embarrassing to say sorry face to face we can send a message of apology to your friend.Last but not least, doing something through Internet actually spares more time for our social life. Sometime we need to spend a lot of time shopping in department stores. Now we can save the time and may visit our friends.In general, computer just make our life more colorful so we don’t need to worry about the changes its may bring to us. Especially most of these changes are positive. 点击下载Word文档。

One of the biggest challenges I faced was adapting to the new environment and making new friends when I first entered college. It was a daunting task for me because I had to leave my hometown and all my old friends behind. However, I soon realized that college was a place where I could meet people from all walks of life and make friends with different backgrounds and interests.I remember one particular experience when I joined a club on campus. At first, I was a bit hesitant to join because I didn't know anyone in the club. However, I decided to step out of my comfort zone and give it a try. To my surprise, I met some amazing people who shared the same passion as me. We quickly bonded over our shared interests and became good friends. This experience taughtme the importance of taking risks and putting myself out there, even when it feels uncomfortable.中文回答：作为一名大学生，我在过去的几年里经历了许多挑战和机遇。
