　　The Impact of the Internet on Interpersonal Communication

　　As is described in the picture, a father asks her daughter how her school today goes on. Instead of answering directly, the daughter tells her father to read her blog. It is common that youngsters nowadays incline to communicate with others on internet increasingly, and lack communication with people around them. With the development of Internet, it has influenced our society to a large extent, especially interpersonal communication.

　　To begin with, we can communicate with others anytime via internet. Otherwise, we would have to arrange our schedules strictly in advance. Also, interpersonal communication through the internet is not restricted by space. For example, in most multinational corporations, instant messages and video conferences help colleagues solve problems timely and efficiently. Last but not least, the internet can greatly speed up our interpersonal communication. Whereas, there are also disadvantages that the internet brings to us. More and more people complained that they have lost face-to-face communicating skills. As a result, people become more and more indifferent to each other in real life. Some netizens who are immersed in virtual world even have difficulty in making friends in reality.

　　In conclusion, communication through the internet could bring us both convenience and inconvenience. We should strike a balance between them and make the best of the internet.

　　【解析】

　　這次的六級寫作是請考生談談網絡對人際交流的影響。這個話題本身已是日常生活的熱點，考生并不陌生，有話可說。

　　文章的展開還是同過去的議論文寫作一致。仍然可以用引入、闡釋有何影響和自己的觀點這樣的三段式進行寫作。在行文時，注意文章的層次和邏輯梳理，在談具體影響時，可適當進行對比論證，論證網絡出現和沒有網絡時，人際交流的差異，也可進行結合自身經歷進行舉例論證。

　　本篇范文在句式上，長短搭配，形式多變。從句、非謂語動詞等多種表達方式，值得借鑒。同時，用詞同樣注意多樣化，對網絡相關詞匯的多種表達 (web, cyber, instant message, video conference等)，考生同樣應在平時注意歸類、積累。

　　【解析】

　　今年的六級作文依舊延續了四六級的傳統，考查“現象類”話題，要求根據漫畫，發表對于“The impact of the internet on interpersonal communication”的觀點。近年的六級作文題目，已經不再局限于傳統的議論文考察模式，即要求考生給出非此即彼或既此既彼的觀點、而是偏向于啟發考生自己去思考，結合自己的生活經歷以及對事物的理解，對話題中的現象進行深入的探討，給出事實支撐。

　　【解析】

　　本次六級的快速閱讀文章出自2009年10月16日的《每日野獸――新聞周刊》，與四級文章的出處一樣，在這里要提醒考生們平日里加強此類英美報刊的閱讀。

　　本文屬于教育類文章。

　　文章開頭以Hartwick學院為例，指出許多有創新意識的大學都將學制由四年改為三年的現象。在承認美國具有全世界最好的大學，這些學校吸引了眾多聰明的學生后，作者話鋒一轉，指出美國高等教育存在的一些問題，包括：學校學年的一成不變，設備資源的閑置浪費，終身職位以及反年齡歧視法造成的教務人員冗余以及對自由思想的壓制，學生承擔不起高額的學費等等。

　　之后，作者指出正是由于以上的這些問題，許多學校才會進行學制改革并且描述了Hartwick, Judson College等學校在縮短學制后課程方面的一些改革和做法。隨后作者指出縮短學制的一些弊端：學生缺少時間進行思考，缺少時間參加課外活動或者出國留學 (微博) ，威脅學校的核心課程體系等。

　　最后，作者指出實行三年制學制對大多數學校來說都不是易事。但是要比讓議會提供資金幫助，讓立法人員要求更多的政府幫助，或是要求學生支付更高的學費來得容易。

　　本次快速閱讀題目難度適中，基本上都是細節辨認題，考生做題的時候可根據題干的關鍵詞：人名，學校名等進行快速定位，仔細判斷。需要注意的是，考生在做本篇快速閱讀的時候最好快速通讀一下全文，把握一下文章的大致結構，會更有利于解答問題。
