For seven years I lived in Singapore, a (1) _______C______ of almost three million people. Like London, Paris,

For most people, this process ends when they are in their mid-to-late teens and they (12 _______________ from

Has technology made the world a better place to live?

With the development of technology, there have been a lot of changes to our life. Admittedly, some of these
changes are bad, causing many environmental and social problems. However, most of these changes
contribute to making our life more convenient, more comfortable and more wonderful.

First of all, due to the improvement of technology, people can enjoy more conveniences than ever. For
example, it only takes travelers or businessmen several hours to go to another countries by jet planes, which
makes the world seem to be much smaller. With the help of the Internet, people at different corners of the
world can communicate with each other at a significantly high speed and low cost. It is technology that has
cleared away the barriers that once prevented people from leading a convenient life.

Secondly, technology has made our life as comfortable as we can imagine. Sitting in air-conditioned rooms,
people do not have to suffer the extremely cold or hot weather any more. Whatever vegetable or fruit we
want to eat, we can always find it in a supermarket regardless of the season. We can also go to work in a
place far away from our homes by using automobiles or public transportation tools.

In addition, technology provides us many choices to spend our spare time. Listening to music by using an
MD, MP3 or Walkman, surfing the Internet or watching digital movies, all of these entertainments make our
life wonderful.

In conclusion, although technology has brought about some problems, such as air pollution caused by
increasing number of automobiles, and ethnic problems caused by cloning human beings, the benefits of
technology far outweigh its bad influences. So it is safe to say that technology has made the world a better
place to live.
