Topic:
Some people think that with the wide use of machines, many workers will lose their jobs. What do you think?

Sample:

It is obvious that machinery industry develops at a fast pace. This acceleration can be illustrated by a brief account of the progress in computers. After Stibitz built his Bell computers in the late 1930s, it took about 20 years for the first commercial computer to be installed (1951). Only eight years later the transistor computer was sold for the first time. Ever since, new development in computers has been made so frequently that it is almost impossible to follow them. Today microchips as tiny as a baby’s fingernail are making all sorts of tasks faster and easier.

With the wide use of computer technology, more and more automated machines replace man’s labour. Our banks are managed by computers and the tickets at the airport are issued by computers, too. In addition, the instruments and devices controlled by computers have entered offices, departments and houses to help people to work shorter and shorter hours and to enjoy longer and longer leisure hours in their own homes. It follows that human domestic servants and aid-jobless will cease to exist. The computerization, certainly, relieving men of heavy labour, makes many workers be out of work.

Therefore, a fear has arisen among some people that the more machines will be used, the more workers will be unemployed and the lower our living standard will become. The fear, I think, is a groundless one, like the fear that the sky might fall. It is well-known that newly-invented machines need to be produced. Those who are replaced with machines can switch to new work. What is more important is that automation increases production of public wealth and the people will gain a happier life. It may be advisable to remember Jefferson’s words: How much pain has been caused by evils which have never happened! I expect the best, not the worst. I steer my ship with hope, leaving fear behind.
