media（1）

With the development of Internet technology, more and more people begin to buy goods through different kinds of media. Peoples attitudes to it vary.

We should evaluate it objectively. On the one hand, shopping through media saves time for people who dont have much free time. Its very convenient for these people to buy goods online. On the other hand, compared with traditional face-to-face deal, it seems not that reliable. Whats more, consumers will lose the chance of bargaining.

As far as Im concerned, although the new shopping mode ings convenience to us, we still have to prioritize the quality of goods especially to check its information. Only in this way can we get the convenience and the high-quality good at the same time.

We Media

In the era of We Media, citizens can publish and circulate information and opinions online, develop their own user profiles, and become independent "media entities."

在自媒体时代，民众可以在网上发布、传播信息和观点，建立自己的用户概要，成为独立的"媒体"。

近日《中国青年报社》社会调查中心联合问卷网对2003人进行的一项调查显示，59.6%的受访者坦承对争议性事件(controversial incident)的认知受自媒体(We Media)影响大。调查显示，24.6%的受访者大量阅读网络上自媒体产出的内容(do a lot of reading generated by We Media)。情感生活类(48.5%)、心灵鸡汤(Chicken Soup for the Soul)类(46.1%)和时政新闻(political news)类(38.4%)是最受受访者喜爱的自媒体内容。

调查还显示，45.8%的受访者认为自媒体有趣的内容(interesting content of We Media)最具吸引力，43%的受访者则认可自媒体采用的多样的表现形式及风格(varied forms and styles of presentation employed by We Media);20.7%的受访者称，他们通过自媒体发现了高质量、有思想的内容(high-quality and thoughtful content)。但也有34.7%的受访者抱怨称，相较提高内容质量(improve content quality)而言，自媒体更注重"追热点"(prioritize hot topics)。与此同时，抄袭问题仍然非常猖獗(plagiarism remains rampant)。

How influentital the Media on Teens Are

It has been a hot topic discussed heatedly for the time being that how indeed the media influence our teens. Different peopie  come  up  with  different opinions. The following passages are two different comments given by several  teenagers ranging from 15 to 20.

One, Teens are the most influenced and the easiest to be influenced by the media. The media influence the way they dress, talk and conduct themselves. From the latest trends to the coolest celebrities, they imirate what they see, whether it's Katie Holmes's new haircut or the pink shirt that Christina Aguilera wore. So it follows that more serious actions like carrying arms or doing drugs could be copied as well.

Young people are impressionable. Therefore, some request that the media should take responsibility by changing some of the content of their shows  especially those for teens. They are huge consumers of media, so networks should show them respect by promoting positive images. They think some shows confuse the lines between entertainment and life.The producers know their audiences are young, so they should realize that teens watching "reality" shows might not be able

to tell the difference between fantasy and fiction.

Opposing voices have also come from others. They think that they use the media--magazines, television and movies--to connect to one another and to the world, so naturally,they're influenced by the images the media present. For example, a boy would be lying if he said he didn't want to be like Brad Pitt. Pitt's flawless style, good looks and moneymaking talent seem to define what's "cool".

Nevertheless, those teens hold that the media only provide information, what they as viewers do with that knowledge is up to th
