The 21st century has witnessed an unprecedented advancement in virtually all fields of daily life, and the news media is no exception. Admittedly, it brings a great convenience to our daily life by disseminating the latest information around the world. However, its draws back should not be hidden and thus ignored by the general public.

顯而易見，這是篇論證文，同樣是采用段論。第一段承認(rèn)新聞媒體的不可替代的作用，同時認(rèn)為不能忽視其消極影響。這也是全篇的點。

Doubtless, the impact of news media on society is profound. In the first place, it offers a variety of news in terms of economic, society, culture, business and so on. So individuals can get whatever they want. In the second place, it is the most effective method of improving the moral standard of society. For example, frugality is inculcated into many people’s mind as a virtue, because of the massive reports on scarce resources. Besides, citizens will also feel a sense of responsibility towards endangered species, if most of the coverage offers the information about how serious these animals confronted with.

第二段，分三個小論點論證說明新媒體的作用。如帶來人們需要的信息；有效地提高道德意識（以節(jié)儉使用資源例）；有助于提高公民的社會責(zé)任感（以保護(hù)瀕臨滅絕的物種為例）。基本上一個論點說完都帶有幾句進(jìn)一步說明的語句，使得論點更加充實和具有說服力。

Nevertheless, everything comes at a price. Actually, it is quite understandable that the public is more curious about the bad news than the good one. As a result, newspapers and magazines are there to provide what the public want, and this can lead to some extent of distortion of perceptions. What’s more, impulsive and easily influenced as young people are, they are likely to imitate the violent or pornography content of the report, which is likely to make these youngsters embark on an criminal road.

話鋒一轉(zhuǎn)，來闡述新聞媒體的負(fù)面影響。比如，人們會在認(rèn)知上受到扭曲，因為信息不對等；一些網(wǎng)絡(luò)不良信息會危害年輕人的成長。注意用詞，這一段的詞匯用得很棒！

Overall, although the news media might have some potential negative effect on individuals, by guiding the teenagers properly, we can effectively eliminate the downside of this practice. To conclude, I firmly believe the news media is in the best interests of society as a whole.

總的來說，盡管新聞媒體有些不利的瑕疵，但是只要合理地對待，還是利遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于弊的。結(jié)尾重申觀點。
