Read Para2-3 to learn the way of argumentation.
On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish's quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities.
On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of wammings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Interet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.

Read Para 4 to learn the opinion of the author.
Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an Al designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.

Should We Advocate WeChat
第三段：自己的观点—合理利用微信。
拓展补充→微信的好处
首先，微信为用户提供了一个和家人、朋友沟通的平台。
Firstly, Wechat provides a platform for users to communication with families and friends.
2. 其次，微信包含许多微信小程序，为我们的日常生活提供了极大的便利。
Secondly, It includes lots of mini-programs,which have brought great convenience in our daily life.
微信的坏处
然而，微信上会出现很多虚假信息，导致用户受到欺骗。
However, some false information offered on Wechat will result in people being cheated.
2. 另外，很多人每天在微信上花费太多的时间。
Besides, a number of people are spending much time on the app every day.
Useful Expressions
More and more people are beginning to use Wechat and some have even become addicted to it. However, WeChat has both advantages and disadvantages.
WeChat really shortens the distance between people. No matter where we are we can easily get in touch with our friends. Besides, we can find friends to whom we can tell our secrets. However it also has disadvantages. First, some information offered on WeChat is false and it may result in people being cheated. Second, some people spend too much time on WeChat, greatly influencing their normal life.
As far as I am concerned, WeChat is convenient but we should use it properly.
