写作策略：
本课的写作题目是属于提纲式议论文的写作。前面我们已经介绍过了提纲式作文的写作，这里我们重点介绍以下议论文写作的注意事项。
议论文是一种说理性文体，它的三要素是论点，论据和论证。写议论文的时候，作者是要通过摆事实，讲道理来说服读者同意自己的观点或接受自己的建议。杂文，评论，社论，论文都属于此类文体。在写作手法上，议论文与记叙文和说明文有不少相似的地方，其中与说明文的关系最为密切。许多说明文的写作手法都可以用于 议论文。因此有人将它们统称为论说文。议论文与说明文都有说理的成分，但是角度不同。作为两种不同的文体，它们之间的差异主要表现为：说明文侧重于客观地陈述事物的本来面目，目的是让人们明白并理解;而议论文则是从主观的角度出发，表达一种自我的观点和看法，并努力说服他人赞同并接受自己的观点。
写作提纲：
首段：
列举可能使用到计算机的诸多领域，说明计算机在这些领域中发挥的重要作用。
主题段落：
计算机虽然有强大的功能，但仍然有自身的缺点和局限性。
缺点:
1. 进入网络的计算机传播不健康的信息，毒害青少年。
2.一些青少年沉溺于计算机游戏。
局限性：
计算机终归只是机器，它不能独立于程序而独立思考。
结尾段：
发表自己的看法。未来的计算机将以更快的速度飞速发展，但永远不能代替人类，因为它们无法进行独立的思考。
参考范文：
The Use of Computer in the Future
Computers are becoming more and more essential in many areas of our lives. We depend on the computer very much in our daily life, for instance, modern banking, hospital file management, supermarket retail information exchange and so on. Different people use computers in different areas. Young guys entertain themselves through computer games. Scientists collect data and information through computer network. Doctors refer to the results of computers have even been introduced onto the classroom of primary schools. Undoubtedly, computers are playing an important role in our social life.
However, there is a good side and a bad side to everything—and that includes the computer. Its drawbacks should not be neglected. The computer connected to internet may spread some bad contents, such as subversive and pornographic items, putting bad effect on the growths of young people. Furthermore, many students become addicted to computer games, spending too much time in front of the screen. As a result, they don’t have enough time for study. Some even think they are the roles in the violent games maybe acting according t the virtual people in the reality finally.
This is very dangerous for the young generation. Although a computer has a lot of advanced function, it still has its limitations. Computers work according to the fixed program which has been written into micro-chips. They can’t think by themselves independently. So the intelligence of computers is only a representation of human intelligence.
While there is a great deal of enthusiasm nowadays over the great power of computers, it is impossible for computers to take the place of human being. They can not think independently, which is their vital weakness. No matter what progress computers make in the future, their intelligence can never surpass that of human being.
