In the past century, human society has achieved unprecedented technological progresses, by which, from my perspective, the standard of living for average persons has been greatly bettered.

这题的写作范围比较大，相对而言给大家降低了跑题的风险，只要大家以“今昔对比”去写，语法细节上注意描写过去的情况时，用一般过去时。“今昔对比”的题上，其实内核还是万变不离其中，也是最近出题的话题核心——科技。

Ø unprecedented adj. 空前的

Ø better vt. 改善，改进

Body 1

Admittedly, technological advancement has posed a threat to human’s well-being to some extent. To illustrate, people, especially young children and teenagers, nowadays easily get indulged in or even addicted to hi-tech gadgets, spending hours playing video games and using social media, while they usually neglect their real life and thus lack face-to-face interaction with their families and friends. This, in the long term, may incur feelings of loneliness and isolation. More accurately, those people are basing their sense of self-esteem on the number of ‘hearts’ and followers, and once the count is below their expectation, they may feel frustrated or even have a negative view on themselves. Meanwhile, collapsing in front of the screen all day with snacks in hand, people nowadays are more likely to suffer from declining level of health, such as corpulence or obesity, while people in the past, without such siren calls, allocated more time to accompanying their beloved ones and smelling the roses.
