托福口语话题范例：Technology（六）

Question:
    Some people believe technology has brought people closer and others believe that technology actually isolate people, which one do you agree with? Explain why.
Sample Answer: 
    I think modern technology has brought people closer than ever for the following reasons. Firstly, it completely changed the way people communicate. Take my family as an example, 20 years ago my aunt went to Japan to further her education and even though making phone calls was also an option, the only way she could communicate with her family was to write letters because the phone bills were way too expensive, and it would take 2 weeks for the letters to travel all the way to Beijing. It was slow and torturing. Now people no longer have to suffer from long distance, all we have to do is dial a number on our cellphones and in a few seconds we can hear the voice we want to hear. Plus, modern technology has made the earth a much smaller place than before. A few decades ago it was almost impossible to communicate with people from other countries, it used to take months for someone to travel to the US by sea. Now the internet connects almost everyone from every corner in the world and people can share all sorts of information on this platform.
