Answer

Great changes have taken place in the way of communication in people’s life in recent years.

In the past, people kept in touch with each other mainly by writing letters or using the public telephone. But now almost everyone has his own mobile phone. People can communicate with each other almost at any place and at any time. What’s more, people have easy access to the Internet, which enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like.

With these changes, people’s pace of life has been quickened and people’s work has been made more efficient. It used to take several days to hear from each other, but now it takes only several minutes, even if they are in two different continents. In a word, people have an easier life nowadays.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇书面表达是一篇看图写文章。根据图画，写一篇英语短文，描述今昔通讯方式的变化，以及这些变化给人们生活带来的影响。首先要理解图画的含义，然后用流畅的语言表达出来。可根据图画适当增加细节，写作时要注意准确运用时态、上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。尽量使用自己熟悉的单词、句式，避免都写成简单句，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句子为文章增色。注意要求的字数不少于120字，不要太多或太少。

【亮点说明】Great changes have taken place in the way of communication in people’s life in recent years.

在文章第一句就运用了一个现在完成时态的句子，且take place 无被动语态。What’s more, people have easy access to the Internet, which enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like. 此句包含了一个which引导的非限制性定语从句。With these changes, people’s pace of life has been quickened and people’s work has been made more efficient.这是一个并列句，and将两个现在完成时态的被动语态连在一起。It used to take several days to hear from each other, but now it takes only several minutes, even if they are in two different continents.这个句子包含了一个even if引导的让步状语从句。In a word, people have an easier life nowadays.本句运用了形容词比较级。另外文中还运用了下面的高级词汇、短语：kept in touch with；communicate with；

What’s more；quicken；hear from；In a word。
