雅思口语Part2话题-手机（2018年9至12月）

手机在我们的生活中扮演者越来越重要的位置，在雅思考试当中也越来越多的被提及，所以在本期，新通教育老师李珺为大家提供一些关于手机这个话题的思路，希望能给正在备考雅思的同学们带来帮助。

这一季考试虽然已经结束，大家已经在翘首期盼下一季题目的到来，但是Sissi还是想要对本季题目当中的一些多说几句话。所以本次文章选定了“手机”这个话题。和它相似的还有关于网络、上网等话题。大家千万不要觉得的题目就是那些了!雅思口语是一直会跟着时事来改变的!所以下次如果被问到了“科技”“太空”“社交网络”的话题，也是再正常不过的了。不过本期文章Sissi想要讨论的是手机对我们的孩子带来的害处!像往期一样，学习语言点的同时，积累一些素材使用吧!

Scientists in $300m study say children risk low IQs and poor cognitive function by spending hours on smart phones. Children who use screens for seven hours or more a day are showing signs that their brain cortex is thinning prematurely.

thin 变薄，在此文章里是动词，是不是非常生动形象;

prematurely 过早地;

The findings show that children are at risk of deteriorating memory function, perception skills, and cognitive abilities, according to a new major U.S. study. The ongoing $300million research is funded by the National Institute of Health and shows the result of the effects of technology on children.

deteriorate 恶化;

perception 洞察;

cognitive abilities 认知能力;

The aim of the study, called Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD), is also to show how screen time affects emotional development and mental health.

Researchers made the early findings by scanning the brains of 4,500 children. Scientists are in the process of following more than 11,000 nine to ten-year-olds over the course of a decade. The researchers also determined that children who spend more than two hours of daily screen time score lower on thinking and language tests. The brain cortex is the outermost layer of neural tissue that processes information from the physical world. It is critical for cognitive functions such as perception, language, memory, and consciousness but thins as we mature into old age.

Though the difference was significant from participants who spent less time using smart devices, the study director cautioned against drawing a conclusion.

智能手机在很明显的程度上增加了我们生活的便利，这是在问题中大多数学生经常谈论到的，有时候甚至答题变成了套路;但是手机也同时带来了不可避免的缺失，其实在回答时也可以说到，尤其是在part3中。

手机对于大脑的影响可能不仅仅针对于儿童，对于我们每个人来说又何尝不是一种灾害呢?所以说，科技的进步真的会带来演化的升级吗?

好啦!本期话题内容就到这里!2019年1月马上到来!Sissi觉得就算“手机”会被换掉，和科技相关的内容和问题中也无法回避地会谈到手机!所以还是希望同学们可以把这一块的信息和语言点积累起来吧!
