Some people think that the increasing use of computers and mobile phones has had a negative effect on young people’s reading and writing skills. Do you agree or disagree? (2015-03-28)

答案
Reading and writing are both skills. Such skills have to be learned and then practised regularly in order to achieve a more than basic level of achievement. In the past, young people were obliged to spend many hours acquiring neat, legible handwriting that could be written at speed, and an acceptable level of reading. In an age before typewriters, handwriting skills were needed for any professional or clerical work. Today, computers have changed all this. Some American states are considering whether they need to teach children handwriting since so few people write, and it seems the trend towards electronic communication will continue. People can now speak to the computer: they do not even have to type. Difficulties arise with an examination system that requires several hours of writing: many students are disadvantaged because they cannot write neatly and quickly. Mobile phones are no longer just phones. Many people have phones that are in reality mini computers. They can receive and send text messages, e-mails, and access the whole range of services, including maps and GPS as well as speak to people instantly, no more walking down the street to the public phone or writing letters. Information can be called up instantly. However, most of the time, most information has to be read. There is some evidence to suggest that tablet computers have actually encouraged young people to read. Books are instantly available, some free of charge, and somehow it is more ’cool’ to be reading a tablet than opening a real book. Text messaging on mobile phones can be a problem as text speak is used and sometimes young people try to use it in their academic writing, which is not acceptable. If young people have to learn to use the most recent technology, it is logical that they have to not spend time on something else, and that something else is likely to be the skill of yesteryear. Some young people demonstrate that it is possible to learn reading and writing skills to a high level and be more than competent using technology. Others, who probably find the skills of reading and writing difficult, have perhaps not benefitted from not having to do it and using technology instead. Social conventions have gradually changed to accommodate this. Whereas in the past, a letter of thanks for hospitality or a gift was the norm, now it is a text, if that has to suffice. Inevitably some young people’s writing and reading skills have sufficed, but this does not apply to all.
