[2]是第1句的支持句。

[3]常用來引導(dǎo)不同觀點(diǎn)的句型。

[4][6]分別用Advocates和opponents引出不同的觀點(diǎn)．中間用however連接，結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)．過渡自然。

[5][7]Furthermore，Besides等都是用來附加說明理由的，層次分明。一般來說，對于文章的分論點(diǎn)，都應(yīng)給出相關(guān)的支持性論據(jù)，這些論據(jù)之間．要注意用適當(dāng)?shù)年P(guān)聯(lián)詞。

[8]Inmyopinion常用來提出自己的看法。

[9]套用英語諺語，使語言活潑生動。

[寫作指南]

本題是典型的“描述現(xiàn)象——分析現(xiàn)象——得出結(jié)論”式六級作文。作文結(jié)構(gòu)如下:

第一段簡要描述現(xiàn)象，說明大學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)、生活中都離不開網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

第二段分析網(wǎng)絡(luò)對大學(xué)生的影響，既有有利的一面(快速了解最新社會、生活以及科技信息；使學(xué)生的人際交往突破時(shí)間、空間的局限等)，也有不利的一面(過于沉迷網(wǎng)絡(luò)，忽視了生活中的人際交往；對網(wǎng)絡(luò)的不正當(dāng)使用，接觸過多有害信息，對身心健康無益)。

第三段提出自己的看法，即，作為一種科技產(chǎn)品，大學(xué)生必須善于利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)豐富自己的生活，提高學(xué)習(xí)效率，而不是被網(wǎng)絡(luò)所控制，成為網(wǎng)絡(luò)的奴隸。
