答案 Scientific tools like PCs and calculators are becoming popular. Some people argue that we should limit the use of scientific tools like computers and calculators because they have bad effects on children’s writing and mathematics abilities, while some people believe that these tools benefit people greatly. In my opinion, the wide use of scientific tools like computers and calculators has both positive and negative effects. On the positive side, such tools increase study efficiency and interest. For one thing,they usually work rapidly, and seldom make mistakes. They can finish many tasks perfectly, saving much time and making study more interesting. For example, the popularity of studying software benefits children’s study greatly. This can be proved by concrete examples. There is a software named "Easily Memorized English". The computer can immediately tell you the pronunciation and meaning of new words at any time you want, and point out your spelling mistakes at once, so that you don’t have to resort to dictionaries. The computer can record your study progress and the mistakes you have made. As a result, homework can be arranged automatically. It is no exaggeration to say that computers can become our good teachers, and greatly improve our study efficiency and interest in school work. However, relying too much on technical products such as PCs and calculators can harm children’s study progress. Because of depending too much on technical products, children do not wish to do basic exercises with their minds or hands. For example, they may rely too much on the calculator to do their arithmetic for them, and become eventually unable to do basic calculations by themselves. As a result, they are not trained properly to solve problems. Therefore, the popularity of technical products has both positive and negative effects. My suggestion is that, we should normally encourage the use of technical tools, while some technical tools should be limited under certain circumstances. For example, primary students should not use slide-rules calculators when they do their homework or during examinations. This needs help from both teachers and parents.
