Some people believe using modern technology (digital photographs, blogs) is the best way to

record and remember important personal events. Others think the traditional method (making
photo albums, writing diaries) is better.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is not uncommon to see young people keep life memories on digital platforms (e.g. wechat
and facebook). While many people prefer similar ways to record and remember their
everyday lives others still favor more conventional ways to accomplish tasks alike. From my
perspective, despite the fact that one enjoys more freedom to record with traditional
methods, modern technology provides people with a wider range of ways to keep the
memory.

Traditional methods such as journaling can indeed bring us benefits. The reason is that when
people want to recall the past or remember something important, they could open a photo album
or a journal. To be more specific, people who love travelling usually collect photos they took in
various areas together. They may be proud that they have visited so many places when they
reminisce. Therefore， the traditional way could help us recall precious time more easily.

Albeit the previous way allows people to record and remember valuable personal events more
directly, I believe that emerging technologies are more suitable for people to use. Because their
innovation is based on traditional technology, which means that they retain the advantages of
traditional technology and develop new aspects, one example can be that Weibo, people could
record and share the moments they consider precious, such as their 18-year-old coming-of-age
ceremony on their Weibo, he or she may be blessed by strangers and could pass the Weibo Bo
make new friends. Therefore, people should try to use these modern technologies.

In conclusion, traditional ways can help people to record and recall the precious events more
directly. Nonetheless, I argue that modern technology would be more beneficial for people to
achieve these goals.
