　　媒体类话题思路参考

　　①媒体包括传统媒体（traditional media）和新媒体（new media），传统媒体又包括报纸（newspaper）杂志（magazine）广播（broadcast）电视（television），而新媒体主要包括手机（mobile phone）和电脑（computer）。传播的手段包含文字（text）图像（picture）声音（audio）和影像（video），可以明显看出的趋势是，影像在所有传播手段中被使用的频率越来越高，占比越来越大，这可能与日益加快的生活节奏有关（the faster pace of life），人们需要更高效地获取信息（demand a quick access to information）,而影像结合了声音、图像，可以在相同的时长中传递更多的信息。

　　②媒体的优点在于，可以加速信息的传播（speed up the transmission of information）,所以人们可以更快地得到自己需要的信息，如手机电话通信，可以说是极大地提高了交流的便利度（make it more convenient to communicate）。同时，媒体也促进了商业的发展（promote business），卖家可以通过媒体广泛地宣传（publicize widely）自己的产品以便找到客户，消费者也可以借助媒体找到合适的商品。

　　③媒体的带来的问题也有很多，比如减少了人们面对面交流的机会（reduce face-to-face communication），虽然线上交流（online communication）也可以完成信息交换（information exchange）的任务，但看见真人本身的作用是巨大的，面对面交流可以帮助人们减少孤独感（loneliness），而媒体正在毁灭这一过程。同时，媒体上的信息过于混杂（disordered），筛选信息（filter information）的时间成本很大，不良信息（harmful messages）又防不胜防，这些都是媒体给现代人带来的挑战。
