本文介绍了两种不同对待儿童应用计算机的观点，前者认为弊多，后者认为利多．究竟哪种观点对，请阅读下文．

　　We are already familiar with computers-computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories. But it is also true that children today are using computers at school before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?

　　Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think children are growing up not knowing about the real world.

　　But people who understand more about computers see that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and to think for themselves. And for the future, don't we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well?

Dear John,

　　Thank you very much for your letter. I am glad that you enjoyed your holiday with me. We enjoyed having you and your sister here. We hope that you can come again next year. Perhaps you are staying longer next time you come. A week is not really long enough, is it? If your school has five weeks' holiday next year, perhaps you can stay with us for two or three weeks.

　　We have been long back at school three weeks now. It feels like three months! I think that you are both working very hard now because you are in Grade One. I shall have to work hard next year when I am in Grade One. Tom and Ann won't be in Grade One until 2006.

　　They went for a picnic yesterday but I didn't go with them because I cut (切、割) my foot and I couldn't walk very well. They went to an island (岛) and enjoyed themselves there. Do you still remember (记得) the island? That's where all five of us spent the last day of our holiday.

　　Tom, Ann and I send our best wishes to Betty and you. We hope to see you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Michael
