这次雅思写作考试考的依然是科技类的话题。话题难度不大。
In the past, knowledge was stored in books; nowadays, knowledge is stored in the Internet. Do advantages outweigh disadvantages?过去知识储藏在书籍里，现在知识保存在网络中。是利是弊？
给大家提供四个版本的参考范文。
1、参考范文：
Nowadays, people can have access to knowledge not only through books but also from the Internet. A number of people believe there are more benefits than drawbacks of reserving knowledge on the Internet and I could not agree more.
One of people's concerns is that there is amounts of information on the Internet and without the supervision of related departments, some people, especially the teenager may be misguided by misleading information. For example, there are so many kinds of novels on the Internet that it is difficult to distinguish which one is proper for a minor to read.
On the other hand, one obvious merit is that it has become more convenient for people to acquire knowledge. A range of ways can be employed to obtain knowledge, such as using an iPad, smart phone or a kindle. Apart from the various kinds of manners of reading, now people can gain knowledge wherever they want, which means instead of holding a book and reading quietly in a study, people can even read on a bus or subway only with their smart phones.
Another more meaningful advantage is that people in poverty can have easy access to knowledge if the knowledge is available on the Internet. As we know, compared with books, the e-books are more affordable and plenty of them are even free. Consequently, it allows more people to receive education contributing to social equality in some extent.
All in all, as I see it, the merits clearly outweigh the potential demerit because as long as there is supervision, the concern mentioned above will not be a problem anymore and I am convinced that sound supervision is on the way.
2、参考范文
正文部分：
第一段，同义改写，表明观点
In the current era, knowledge can be preserved on the Internet. Some people may argue that there exist more drawbacks when books are substituted by the Internet in terms of storing knowledge, but I cannot agree with this opinion.
第二段，写一下网络信息的麻烦的地方，然后转折回来
Admittedly, users may be confused about knowledge on the Internet. Most authors hold a serious attitude towards publishing a book and will be responsible for what they write in their books. However, since the Internet is open to everyone, many amateurs pretend to be masters in some domains and deliberately spread incorrect information, which brings difficulties to beginners since they may not tell the different between right and wrong. Nevertheless, there still exist more merits if information is preserved on the Internet.
第三段，不变质——
To begin with, storing knowledge on the Internet may avoid knowledge loss to some degree. It is true that books can contain knowledge, but most books will deteriorate with age and cannot be read anymore after decades of years. However, if knowledge is stored on the Internet, as long as computers are not damaged, knowledge can still be obtained from hard drives after a long time. Thus, Internet can store knowledge for a longer time while books are limited by characteristics of paper.
第四段，效率高——
In addition, users may save a lot of time when they search information on the Internet. In the past, when people intended to find a book they want, they had to go to a library and wasted some time on finding books on the shelf. By contrast, with search engines, users can acquire knowledge in a short time by typing in some key words in a database. There is no need for people to spend time on commuting and they can just sit in front of a computer and gain what they need quickly.
第五段：小小总结就好
To sum up, the merits of storing knowledge on the Internet may overshadow the detriments caused, considering that computers can preserve knowledge for a longer time and users can find information they need efficiently.
3、参考范文：
优缺点对比的题目，在每年的考试中不算多见。通常而言，一年能考个五六次。其实，此类题目的写法比较简单，和同意与否的题目大同小异而已。
Internet technology is, to a great extent, updating all aspects of people's life especially means of information storage. Hence, over the public there is the controversy whether storing knowledge by means based-on Internet is superior to traditional printed books.
首段仍然是由背景的介绍而引出本文需要讨论的主题。此段中，并未表达笔者的立场。
Primarily, the latest Internet technology makes it possible that a great deal of information can be stored by a tiny memory card. Instead, people had to build quite a few libraries and print millions of books in the past. The function of mass storage is what traditional books can never achieve. An instance in point is that people in recent years can put a small e-book reader in their pockets going everywhere they want, in which numerous books are available.
全文三个主段，其实都是典型的对比论证。主段一，究其一点，存储量的问题，将两者进行对比。从而论证海量存储是网络技术的一个优点。
Additionally, due to the advancement of related technology, currently knowledge can be preserved by *** means in forms of videos, audios, pictures and words. Admittedly, videos and audios can easily leave people more vivid impression, consequently enhancing people's learning efficiency. By contrast, what paper books can store is only words and pictures, which are relatively monotonous and boring. This can perfectly explain why *** classrooms are rather prevalent in schools contemporarily.
相似于上一段，主段二重点讨论存储模式问题。网络存储形式多样，此为第二个优点。
Ultimately, people can readily access information saved online through some search engines. What people need to do is type some key words and wait for less than a second. Nevertheless, looking for a book in a large-scale library is not an easy job. Furthermore, sometimes if someone likes to borrow a book from a library located in other cities, he needs to make a couple of phone calls and wait for a few weeks.
本段是从查阅信息方便与否的角度来对比，进而得出网络技术的另一优点，高效搜索。因此，网络技术三战全胜，积九分，顺利晋级。
Briefly, dissemination of knowledge is an essential step of civilization, and undoubtedly Internet technology contributes substantially to it. Printed books are doomed to be replaced by high-tech products, written in history sooner or later.
结尾段，为了和全文不太重复，写的有些飘渺。首先肯定了网络技术存储知识加速了人类的文明化进程。其次预言，假以时日纸质书籍会被写入历史
4.参考范文
Today we all believe that knowledge is just at the tip of our fingers because all knowledge seems to be have been stored electronically and is easilyaccessible on the Internet. There have been mixed responses to this development, and personally I think more and more people will rely on the Internet for knowledge though the printed books will never completely disappear.
（1） 本段引出话题，提出自己下文拟论证的观点：知识上网有很多优势，但印刷书籍也不会消失。请学习唐老师是如何规避“有些人认为……，另外一些人认为……”这个模板套路的。
（2） At the tip of fingers 近在咫尺；在指尖
（3） Electronically 电子化地
（4） Accessible 可以获取的
（5） Mixed responses 各种不同的反应
Storing knowledge in the Internet has obvious advantages. Owing to itsvirtually unlimited capacity, the Internet can store all knowledge in the world. This makes it quite unnecessary for us to spend that much money constructing thebrick-and-mortar libraries. Then as long as we have Internet connection, we can find whatever we desire to know no matter where we are. So, rather than carrying heavy books on American culture with me, I can sit at a coffee table and with a few simple keyboard clicks, I can have immediate access to any book in the world on that topic. What is more, if I would like to share some important knowledge with my friend, again a few simple clicks would do, but were the knowledge stored in the book form, then I would probably have to find time to go to the post-office and send the book to him/her, which is far more time-consuming and less efficient.
（1）本段分析网络储存知识的好处：首先是节约钱；其次是容易找到；再其次是容易分享。请各位读者认真学习唐老师是不露痕迹地层层推进这三层意思。
（2）Owing to 由于，因为
（3）Virtually （=nearly; actually; almost） 几乎；实际上地
（4）Capacity 容量；空间；能力
（5）Brick-and-mortar 实体的（相对于虚拟的）
（6）Time-consuming 耗时的
（7）Efficient 有效率的
Keeping knowledge in the Internet, however, will make us excessively dependent on electronic devices. Simply put, in case of power-off or computer break-down, we will be thrown into a terribly helpless situation. But this is not a problem for people who learn things from books. Additionally, many people simply prefer reading real books for knowledge to online sources, because they believe books are more reliable and they find themselves emotionally and intellectually more attached to knowledge in books.
（1）本段讲网络存储知识的坏处（让我们过于依赖电子产品）以及书籍的好处。但唐老师此处采用略写的方式，因为主要观点是将网络存储的优势。
（2）Excessively 过分地
（3）Be dependent on… 依赖于……
（4）Prefer …to… 更喜欢……不喜欢……
（5）Attached 紧密的；依恋的
My conclusion, then, is that knowledge will increasingly find its way to the Internet and it will make knowledge storage more economical and convenient, yet books will never vanish because there are always people who would like toembrace knowledge in printed form.
（1）本段对前文观点进行总结。这里需要高度提炼（但不见得一定总结到前文中的每个点，照顾到最重要的即可）。
（2）Find its way to… 走进……
（3）Economical 节约的
（4）Vanish 消失
（5）Embrace 拥抱 |
