1、作文：

Modern technology makes life more convenient;tools are the milestores of the technology as well as human beings progress.

Men used to cut trees with hand saw.But now,by using electronic saw they can cut down a tree in only a few minutes.Another example is more vivid:You have something urgent which has to be informed to your friend whose house is two hours ride away.You probably want to make a phone call.But no telephone is installed in your friends home.What could you do?Nowadays,with modern technology advanting,using internet is popular with us.Some years ago,people had to get what they wanted through looking into a lot of information;at last people could become tired and spent too much time.Now,if you use Internet,all becomes a piece of cake.Only by clucking,you will gain what you expect.

We all hope that modern technology will reach a higher level,because modern technology makes life more convenient indeed.

2、翻译：

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，如果使用网络科技，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。
