　　Ways to Get Over Information Explosion

　　As a famous saying goes, “A wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”. Nowadays we are in the Information Age. Some people keep complaining about distraction by the information explosion.

　　Admittedly, the new information age has brought us so much convenience that we are allowed to get enough information just with a simple click sitting in front of the computers. Nevertheless, we are also confused, annoyed, distracted and upset by an incredibly large quantity of information. For example, when searching for something online, people are easily carried away by irrelevant information and forget their original plan. Besides, some information often turns out to be useless and actually advertisement. Therefore, it can be time-consuming and troublesome to search information online.

　　Then what we can do to avoid being distracted by irrelevant information? Here I have some useful tips: Firstly, make a list of what you really want before your searching. This will help you to refuse some appealing, yet irrelevant information. Secondly, find some trustful and professional sources or websites and then save and categorize them. In this case, you can easily leave some ads and useless information behind.

　　

【点评】

　　本次作文主题围绕“信息爆炸给大众带来的困扰”，难度较小。最近几年六级作文题都是紧扣时代特征，实用性较强，不会导致考生无话可说、无理可讲。

　　本题型还是按照三段式，第一段可从题中的谚语着手，引出论点。第二段主要辩证论点“信息爆炸反而给大众带来的注意力转移、无法集中等”，可以举出生活化的实例。第三段给出问题的解决方法。注意在写作过程中要有理有据、条理清晰即可。
