Task:Some people think the technology makes life complex, so we should make life simpler without using the technology. Agree or disagree?

Sample answer:

The past decades have witnessed the technology boom and thus our lifestyle has been revolutionized. Despite all the benefits，technology complicates our life in many aspects. As a result，ceasing to use technology is believed to be the way to solve this problem. I，on the other hand，disagree with this statement.

There is no denying the fact that technology may have led to complexity in day-to-day life for both the elderly and the young. The former，as the major groups requiring immediate medical treatment，find making appointments on line quite challenging. This leaves them less chances to see doctors and more inconvenience compared with old days when all the patients are waiting outside the doctors' office with on one jumping the queue out of thin air. The latter also suffer from the side effect brought by technology because they have to constantly receive training and drilling to barely keep up with the frequent update of technology，like the widely-used CRM in the office.

In spite of the inconvenience and complexity, it is inadvisable to simplify our life through abandoning technology. Actually，the cure lies in the technology itself. With user-friendly instruction on the website，such as videos or radios，the aged can be spared from the troubles. As for the young people，it is highly likely that the technology may develop perfectly enough and need no more updates. Additionally，the usage of technology，if once stopped，would definitely bring more complex situation. For example，people have to spend months traveling across the Atlantic Ocean，which can be accomplished with airplanes in a matter of hours.

In conclusion，it is not sensible to get rid of technology for the complexity it brings. Instead，we should carry on developing to settle this problem.
