The Popularity of Micro-blogging
1.近年來“微博”越來越流行，許多人利用“微博”來表達心聲、交流想法。
2.微博流行的原因。
3.微博可能引起的弊端。
【范文】
Micro-blogging is no longer a strange word. More precisely, it has become part of our life.
As for me, many factors contribute to the widespread of Micro-blogging. First, it is very convenient for people to express their instant feelings at any time. Second, it provides a chance for people to release their inner stress. By revealing their heartfelt emotions on the Micro-blogging, their friends may also know about their conditions and can offer in-time comfort.
However, Micro-blogging can also be potentially dangerous as it may give away people’s privacy and other significant information.
All in all, Micro-blogging provides us comfort and also inevitably some concerns. We should be careful while using it.
【點評】
第一段直接切入主題。首句在說明微博越來越流行時沒有用肯定句micro-blogging is more and more popular, 而是用否定句的方式“負負得正”。
從第二段開始闡釋流行的原因。Contribute to是固定詞組，表示為……作出貢獻，其對應的名詞是contribution。第一個原因是微博方便人們在任何時候表達他們當時的感覺。這里通過“at any time”和“instant feeling”突出了微博和傳統博客的區別。第二個原因是微博可以減壓。此處release表示釋放，除了跟release pressure, release stress, 還可以跟release news。
第三段描述了微博的弊端，give away表示出賣，同義詞有betray。最后一段是作者的對微博的態度，在充分肯定微博積極意義的同時提醒人們要謹慎使用微博。
