12月16日雅思大作文真题：社交网络的负面影响
2017年12月16日雅思大作文题目:Some people think that social networking sites have a huge negative impact on both individual and society. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
17年最后一场雅思是的大作文是关于社交网络对个人和社会是否有负面影响的问题。
那么社交网络到底有什么负面影响呢?同学可能已经感受到，社交网络在方便我们交流的同时，已经对我们造成了一些影响，比如社交网络使人沉迷，占据了许多时间;社交网络还会带来网络安全问题，我们的隐私也会随之泄露等。但是，我们是否要因为社交网络带来的负面影响而杜绝它呢?
本文认为，我们不应该因噎废食，反之在接触社交网络时，要合理安排时间，保护好自己的隐私，让它为我们服务，而不是为之所困。

However, those benefits are accompanied by a lot of potential negative influence. For one thing, individuals tend to be addicted to the Internet. Therefore, time and energy supposed to be spent in studying and working is wasted in renewing and browsing websites. For another, the issue of web security has already been a great concern for the whole society. For example, some people, especially teenagers and elder people, fail to realize that not only our friends but also strangers have access to the personal information in the social websites. They post their real names, photos or family addresses on their public homepages and allow them to be viewed by others. Consequently, the rate of Internet fraud gradually rises since criminalswill make use of the leaked personal information for illegal purposes.
然而，这些好处伴随着许多潜在的负面影响。一方面，个人往往沉迷于互联网。因此，本应花在学习和工作上的时间和精力就浪费在更新和浏览网站上了。另一方面，网络安全问题已经成为全社会关注的焦点。例如，有些人，特别是青少年和老年人，没有意识到，能够看到我们在社交网站上个人信息的不仅有我们的朋友，还有陌生人，他们在公共主页上发布真实姓名、照片或家庭住址，而且让他人浏览。因此，互联网犯罪率逐渐上升，因为犯罪分子将利用泄露的个人信息做非法用途。
