范文一：
Thepicture describes a conversation between two people，one of them said： “I readabout 3 hours a day。My favorite book is Facebook。”The picture intends toinform us that the Internet has exerted an important influence on reading forthe modern citizens。
The phenomenon involves many factors，which canbe listed as the follows。 To begin with，with the rapid development of scientific technology，The Internet has become indispensable in our daily life.Undoubtedly，it provides people with many advantages and makes our life morecomfortable and efficient， including the way of reading。What’s more，it is a moreadvanced way to get information needed by people，and an efficient way to searchfor materials。“I have hardly ever bought any books since 2003。I have beenreading online in recent years。”said professor Wang from Peking University。“With the click of the mouse，any stories or information that I want at anygiven time or place，is there。”she said。This may well explain why so manypeople now prefer to embrace the wonders of the Internet than read print copiesof book or any other reading material。
Every coin hastwo sides，reading in social networking websites is no exception。 Admittedly，there is false and useless information on the social networking websites， it isadvisable that we read more critically and carefully。
范文二：
Graphically revealed in this cartoon is that two youngsters are having a conversation. However, the most striking feature of it is that the man on the left is saying without hesitation that he loves reading and his favorite book is Facebook. Apparently, the purpose of this cartoon unfolds a conspicuous fact that social networking websites exert adverse impacts on our reading.
Several factors can be responsible for this phenomenon. For one thing, with our science and economy enhanced remarkably, people in growing numbers tend to share their moments of life on social networks, and therefore, it is difficult for us to concentrate on what we want to read. For another, there are various kinds of information on the internet, and as a result, they may be easily distracted by other information so much that they may ignore what they are really interested in.
To sum up, social network websites may pose a potential and probable threat to our reading. We are supposed to spend more time on reading paper books instead of staying on the social networking websites. Only in this way can we gradually terminate the negative influence of social networking websites.
