托福獨立寫作真題剖析：新聞媒體是否已不可信且會帶來問題

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement : Sometimes people think nowadays the media (TV, newspaper, Internet) are less concerned about the accuracy of news than in the past, and the incorrect information may cause more problems to the public.

題目問的是一些人認為新聞媒體不可信，并且不準確的信息帶來了很多的問題。這個問題從贊同的角度比較好寫。

第一段，試著引入話題+表達自己的觀點，注意題目的改寫。

No doubt that after Mr. Trump’s overwhelming victory of 2016 campaign fake news has often been the headline of online and offline media. It occurs to me that though nowadays we are flooded with the wider range of information, we hardly tell the inaccurate from the real and true, which of course brings along chaos and disturbances.

原因一，西方好多媒體被大財團控制，所以他們的新聞常常不可靠。

First of all, the media, including TV, newspaper and Internet, are in the pursuit of profits and exposure, thus giving up sticking to professional and moral standards. Unlike their traditional counterparts, the twenty-first century media cannot make it on the income out of readers’ pockets; hence they sell pages for advertisements and ask for sponsorship, in which case they are subjected to the establishment and the special interest groups. As a result, they ignore the authentic stories and accuracy on purpose at the sacrifice of readers and the integrity of journalism. For example, most media in the 2016 presidential campaign tried to manipulate and mislead US constituents by reporting false opinion polls. The election’s outcome proves how irresponsible and biased these media are. Clearly, the modern media are less serious about the contents’ correctness than they used to be.

烏合之眾總是容易受誤導，所以從這本書的主要思想里，得到了第二點，然后再編一個例子堆上去

Moreover, false and incorrect information put the public in a troubled and sometimes dangerous position. This is because people no matter how knowledgeable and wise they are rely on information to make decisions. Usually, incorrect information gives rise to poor decisions which comes with misfortune. Take a environment protection case in the US for example. Five decades ago, the Ohio river delta region was a main industry area in the US. With the river and environment being seriously polluted, the US government decided to rebuild this area and upgrade local economy. Local heavy industry giants released fake news by local newspaper and broadcast that this measure would boost unemployment. The misled local people were in strong opposition of this plan, which unfortunately failed before it was on the floor of congress. Now, people living there are the poorest community in the north America and suffer from serious pollution and a crippled economy.

總結下觀點，然后結束嘍

In conclusion, today’s media are tamed by business interests and so lose their respect for truth and accuracy. This, sadly, causes many social problems and chaos, which people have to cope with.
