5月1日星期日晴
丽丽和我都喜欢科学，所以我们决定今天去科技馆参观。它离我们家并不远，大约有两公里的路程。我们觉得还是骑车比较方便。
今天天气非常好，早上八点我们就出发了。当我们到达科技馆的门口时，已经有许多人在那里等了。我们还碰上了一些同学和老师。在科技馆里我们看到了许多有趣的东西和装置。我们可以摸它们，甚至还可以动手操作呢。我们感到我们学到了许多知识，同时对科学的兴趣更浓厚了。
十一点半我们不得不离开科技馆回家了。今天我们可真愉快呀！

科学和技术的发展使我们的生活更舒适、方便。然而，科学家发明了许多问题，这些问题并不容易解决，如空气污染、环境恶化和自然资源的短缺，我们必须一些解决方案。
现代科技使人们很多好处。现代通讯缩短了人与人之间的距离，使沟通更加容易。互联网是现在广泛使用不仅对丰富的信息也为对应的集合。电子邮件，现在最有效的交流工具，已经变得很普遍了。此外，电话和手机接触比以前更方便。
现代交通工具，如飞机和高速列车旅行顺利和快速。随着现代交通工具的帮助下，人们可以到处去他们喜欢。外太空之旅和其他行星并不是一个梦。火箭和航天飞机可以帮助我们实现太空旅行的梦想。
现代医学延长人民生活和减轻了许多疾病的痛苦。癌症和艾滋病对人民健康都是致命的。由于科学家们的努力，成为治疗这些疾病。
然而，科学发展的过程中也引起了许多严重的问题，我们的人类。互联网，尽管广泛用于现代通信、计算机病毒很容易被摧毁。外太空探索产生了浪费的空间。一个微小的金属，一个螺钉，例如可以摧毁一个飞行的人造卫星。工业化使自然资源稀缺。
面对这些问题，科学家们正在寻找提示和可行的解决方案。科学和技术的发展带来了正面和负面的影响。我们必须消除最小程度的积极作用。

现代科技使生活更加便捷；工具是科技进步和人类进步的里程碑。人类过去用手锯锯树，但是现在，用电锯可在几分钟内锯倒一棵树。另外一个例子更加生动形象：如果你有急事通知你的朋友，而他家距你家有2小时的路程，你可能想打个电话。但是你的朋友家又没安电话，你该怎么办？如今，随着现代科技的进步，使用网络已很流行。若干年前，人们不得不查找大量资料来搜集需要的信息，最后人累得疲惫不堪，还浪费了大量时间。现在，如果使用网络，一切就都是小菜一碟了。只要轻敲键盘，就会有求必应。
我们都期待着现代科技能达到一个更高的水平，因为现代科技确实使生活变得更便捷。
