Unit 10 Censorship

1. Model1题目及范文分析

Some parents believe that there is no harm in allowing their children to watch TV programs and movies that contain a lot of violence. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?

Model 1

Some people think that if children watch violent images on television, they may try to copy the things they see. As a result, they could behave more violently towards other people. While it is sometimes true that children love to copy some of the violence they see in the games they play, they generally know the difference between real and imaginary violence. For example, some children love kung fu movies and television shows. They often like to play at fighting each other and they copy the scenes they watch on TV. Yet, most of these children do not grow up to be violent.

Another argument against allowing children to watch violent TV programs is that these programs could make them frightened, or give them nightmares. However, there is a difference between imaginary violence, such as cartoons, and real violence, such as police dramas or the TV news. For example, most children might laugh at the violence in a funny cartoon, but be disturbed by seeing a child being beaten in a news report. For this reason, parents need to consider what is appropriate for their own child, and select programs carefully.

2. Model2题目

Some people believe that there is no harm in allowing their children unrestricted access to the internet provided they have software, such as 'net nanny', to prevent access to some sites. To what extent do you agree with this opinion?

3. Model2大纲分析

Para 1 Net nanny-some protection

example - violent, sex sites-no access

result - children mostly safe

but - sometimes- can open unsuitable sites

Para 2 Difference-software program-loving parent

Parents responsible-limit, check children

best guides for children

they can check harmful sites for their own child

so their responsibility-watch and limit sites

software- not enough protection

4. Model2范文分析

Model 2

Generally speaking, software programs, such as net nanny, do provide some protection from violent or sex sites for children. For example, if children find inappropriate websites, the net nanny pr0grame will usually not allow them to open these pages. As a result, children are mostly safe when they use the net with these programs. However, occasionally children may be able to open some sites that are not suitable for them to see even though they have a software censorship program.

There is a difference between a software program and the loving care and control of

a parent. Parents are responsible for limiting and checking what their children see on the Internet and they are generally the best people to guide children from day to day. In particular, they mostly know which sites may be harmful to their children. For this reason, it is their responsibility to watch and limit the sites that their children can access. The internet is a powerful tool, and a software program by itself might not be sufficient to protect children from inappropriate influences.
