First of all, it makes us accessible to a large amount of information within several seconds. Time and energy is saved for us. Also, there are all kinds of entertainment on a computer. Listening to CDs, watching movies and playing PC games will help us relax and relieve the pressure from work and study. In addition, we can keep in touch with our friends more easily. Computer has made the communication among people more interesting and more fascinating. Task 2 Some people prefer to solve a challenge all by themselves. Others prefer to depend on other people's help. Which do you prefer and why? Include details and examples in your explanation. In my view，I would like to face a challenge depend on others’ help. It is always useful to hear the opinion of our well-wishers regarding the challenge. For example, when taking decision on a business activity, it is always better to have brainstorming session of all the involved persons to discuss about the issue. It gives the best possible decision after carefully analyzing all the possibilities, with the cooperation of the team. Also all the members involved in the decision-making are clear about their individual roles in contributing to the success of the decision.

I think such recreational facilities as swimming pool, playground, are crucial to people as mass consumption. Therefore they are more important than art museums and music performance.
Although art museums and music performance provide us one opportunity to escape the daily pressure and enter an aesthetic world of sensual pleasure, and also purify people’s spirits by striking their heart, art museums and music performance generally need certain appreciative ability to enjoy. For example, when you see the celebrated painting, Mona Lisa, you probably just consider the woman as a beauty rather than knowing how she is beautiful and why the painting is quite well-known. In contrast, everyone can enjoy in playground and most people can go to swimming pool. Hence, the government should gratify most people’s wish.
I think recreational facilities are also fine means of relaxation and decompression despite your age, educational background and so on. They are more closely linked to our daily life. For example, when I feel depressed, I usually like to walk on the playground instead of appreciating masterpieces in an art museum; when I want to do entertainment, I probably prefer seeing a movie rather than watching a music performance. So the mass consumption for relaxation and decompression is recreational facilities. Art museums and music performance center are less important.
In addition, we have the opportunity to play sports by a recreational facility, further helping us keep healthy. For instance, Swimming pools are essential in summer. People usually do not prefer playing sports such as running, playing basketball in a hot day. Therefore, they generally like to stay at home and open air-conditions. If things go on like this, they will inevitably get sick. But a swimming pool offers us a good facility to take exercise. Also, most swimming pools now are built indoor, so people could enjoy this sport all year around and keep healthy. On the other hand, swimming is so basic a skill that all people should master it in case. Hence the government should spend money on such a recreational facility first.
As far as I am concerned, although there is no denying that art museums and art performance are beneficial to people to some extent, I think spending money on recreational facilities is more important.
