Selfies Should Be Banned
The new trend about taking selfies is not only popular among the youth but other age groups as well globally. After most of the events, friends, co-workers, and participants take a mandatory selfie, hash tagging the event. However, besides the smiles, laughter and crazy faces found in most selfies, there is a darker side to the picture as well, which is also not too hidden from the world.
Incidents like shark attacks, falling off the edge of a cliff, train collisions, vehicle speeding and daredevil stunts caught on camera are some of the most critical moments when the person taking the selfie fails to focus on the environment more than anything else.
In an event, a 66-year-old Japanese tourist died falling down the staircase of Taj Mahal in India while attempting to take a selfie. A digital media website Mashable reported a number of people severely injured in an attempt to take a selfie with an incoming train or getting atop dangerous equipment where a slip resulted in imminent death.
The Russian government has been promoting an anti -selfie campaign so the country residents act more responsibly by avoiding taking selfies in such situations despite the trend. Disney has also taken the step to promote anti-selfie campaigns on its rides and relatively dangerous areas of the theme park to ensure safety of the people.

答案
Should Selfies Be Banned? Nowadays, people tend to take selfies to "live dangerously" and promote themselves among their peers and friends. As a result, there have been numerous cases which people ended up being seriously injured or even being killed while trying to take a selfie in a dangerous situation. Therefore, the authorities such as the Russian government and Disney have started anti-selfie campaigns. Should selfies be banned to ensure the safety of people? Or does such prohibition violate the principles of individual liberty? In my view, people should be advised not to take selfies in dangerous situations since not everyone is lucky enough to survive the accidents. In the first place, while taking a selfie, people’s focus shifts from the world around them to taking a better picture of themselves, resulting in lesser time to respond to a natural stimulus of avoiding injury. In the second place, the youngsters enjoy taking photos with wildlife, but they may get attacked by these animals if they are getting too close. Last but not least, the peripherals of taking a selfie, such as a selfie stick, could be potential security threats to both tourists and scenic spots. In conclusion, no-selfie zones should be set up in hazardous locations to prevent any similar tragedies from happening again. Regardless of how harmless this act may be, it is important for people to stay aware of their surroundings which could threaten their safety.
解析
本题所给材料讨论了由于在危险场所自拍导致危及生命的意外事故频发的现象。在具体行文方面,考生可以在第一段总结上述选段要点,阐述该社会现象并指出俄罗斯政府和迪士尼都提倡反自拍运动。第二段集中探讨身处危险环境时是否应该禁止自拍。范文支持禁止自拍,理由如下:自拍时人们的注意力集中在拍美照上,而不是周围的环境,因此意外发生时往往不能及时做出反应;许多年轻人喜欢与野生动物自拍,但过于靠近这些动物很可能会遭到它们的袭击。最后总结全文:在危及人身安全的环境里,人们要集中注意力。
