With the technology developing rapidly, machines are used widely in our lives. To what extent do the advantages of this development outweight its disadvantages? 技術的發展，機器越來越被廣泛地運用了。這種情況的利大于弊，還是反之？

Dating back to the 18th century when the first industrial Revolution inaugurated the age of machines, man's productivity started to increase exponentially. And today this trend dose not seem to ebb, instead, machines are playing more pivotal roles in virtually very aspect of human life. Some may contend that machanization at the same time generates various problems so enormous that its advantages has been already compensated. However, by and large I believe these problems are temporary and mechanization will eventually benefit the entire human race. 能夠簡單明了地描述第一次工業革命，就已經是個很不錯的開頭了，值得學習。說明機器越來越重要的作用，亮出自己的觀點，就是認為機器的廣泛應用利大于弊。

When it comes to the advantages of the mass adoption of machines, the first thing occur to mind must be the salient face that it largely liberated human beings from most of the tedious and exhausting manual labor. Has it not only improved productivity dramatically, but also has enables more people to conduct intellectual work, advancing technological innovations which in turn boost productivity. Besides, the wide use of machines has greatly improved the quality of life. Home appliances make housework easier; vehicles shorten the traveling time between distant places and office machines facilitate working efficiency. All these have contributed to a life more comfortable and convenient than ever. Life without a car or computer is intolerable to many people. Suffice it to say that machines have changed our life profoundly forever. 論證自己的觀點：首先，機器的使用將人們從繁瑣的工作中解放出來，技術創新大大提高了生產效率。同時，機器也讓人們的生活更加便利，舉家用電器，交通工具，辦公設備為例具體說明。最后總結出機器大大改變了我們的生活。

Meanwhile, the proliferation of machines also posts challenges and sometimes even crises to humans.The opinion that machines deprive the poor of their jobs and destroy employment is a well-noted cliche. Environmental contamination and energy depletion are nothing new. But is it reasonable to abandon machines on account of these disadvantages? The answer is obviously no. These side effects might be tough and annoying, but essentially they are curable an will be cured as technology advances. Therefore, to combat these problems we should press ahead with mechanization instead of back off in the halfway. 機器的廣泛使用也有不利之處，不可避免地導致失業問題，還有環境問題。但是這都不是不廣泛使用機器的理由，技術的革新是進步的體現，它還是利大于弊的。

In conclusion, the advantages of mechanization prominently outweigh its disadvantages. Thus its trend should be well maintained and enhanced in order to accelerate social development and improve life quality. 顯然，機械化讓社會進步，生活便捷，利大于弊，這種趨勢的發展是值得遵循的。（本文用詞較高級，得分是7.5）
