There has been a new trend in economic activity—the sharing economy. The biggest sector of the sharing economy is travel. You can find a potential host through a website. If you both get along and they are available during your planned trip, you stand a chance of getting a place to stay for free. In addition, people also use websites and apps to rent out their cars, houses, tools, clothes and services to one another. Time magazine has included this trend in a list titled "10 ideas that will change the world". It said: "In an era when families are scattered and we may not know the people down the street, sharing things—even with strangers we’ve just met online—allows us to make meaningful connections. " What do you think of Time’s comment?

My Views on the Sharing Economy The sharing economy refers to the economic pattern in which people share access to resources, such as goods, services and data. This newly emerging trend would be impossible without the development of technology. It is the Internet that makes the sharing cheaper and easier and helps to strike a balance between supply and demand. Time magazine has listed the sharing economy as one of the " 10 ideas that will change the world". As far as the comment is concerned, I cannot agree with Time more. As one of the greatest benefits of the digital age, the sharing economy arises from our oldest instinct as human beings. There is always an urge for us to connect with others, especially in an era when families are scattered and we do not really know the people who live nearby. It has been said that " Joys shared with others are more enjoyed. " However, in my eyes, the resources shared with others are more beneficial to our society. On the one hand, sharing economy leads to a more efficient use of resources. Some items are expensive to buy but widely owned by people who do not make the best use of them. Occasional sharing may provide extra income for the owners and can be less costly for the borrowers. If managed well, a win-win situation is achieved for both parties in the process. Besides, sharing economy contributes to environmental protection. Take accommodation for example. The more hotels are built, the more resources are required, which might in turn result in a decrease in arable land and public green space. On the other hand, the transaction cost is reduced due to the use of Internet and various apps. With a smartphone in your hand, it is not difficult to find a potential host in the neighboring area. People are meeting increasingly on screens, discussing online and purchasing goods in the domestic and overseas, paying through Internet payment system. To summarize, although the sharing economy is not perfect at present because of concerns in insurance, legal liability, safety and the like, I believe, quite firmly, that it represents the future trend and has the power to change the world for the convenience and flexibility it brings to us. Just as the old Chinese saying goes, the defects cannot obscure the virtues of a splendid jade, and I assume it also applies to the sharing economy.
解析
本题讨论共享经济这一社会现象,命题紧扣时代脉搏,具有浓厚的现代气息。在具体行文方面,考生可以开篇点题,简要介绍这一社会现象,并提出论点,即共享经济具有改变世界的力量;接下来在第二段简要说明共享经济产生的原因;第三段重点阐述共享经济的诸多优点,例如:有效配置社会资源及降低交易成本等;最后一段总结全文,为全面起见,可适当提及共享经济中存在的问题,但仍需重申论点,指出瑕不掩瑜。
