WritingTask 1

Nowadays, as technology develops, more and more needs and desires of people have been fulfilled. Meanwhile, the needs and goals of the society have also expanded. Therefore, it is important that the inventions and development of technology should meet the needs and goals of the society.

Engineers need money and facilities to put their thoughts into reality. If the ideas do not meet what the society want, engineers will hardly get any money and place to do the invention. In another case, even though the experiment process is finished, the invention is seldom used by the major group. Then the money and time spend are wasted. The money could have been used for other more promising projects. Thus, what the society need determines where engineers go.

We can also see it in another way. As we all know, the climate change, energy crisis, global warming and the problems caused by world population growth are drawing more and more attention from the whole world. Then there is a global trend that engineers strive for the solutions of the problems. And these areas are almost the hottest in engineering or going to flourish where attract more and more engineers to set foot in. the invest are also enlarging, no matter from the government or private institute. This is a counter proof to show that it is important to meet what the majority’s need.

No matter how we look at it, the idea that the goals and needs of the society are the major determination of what engineers are working on should be known to all of them.

Hi, this is my first comment on your blog. Sorry for this writing too late.
I think the main idea of this article and structure is quite clear. You express your opinion in two ways. It is good to see a thing in different angles.
However, I think there are still some aspects where you need to improve. Firstly,there are some silly grammar mistakes. In the 3rd paragraph, you wrote: As we all know...are drawing more and more attention from the whole world. And I think that it should be "drawn", using passive voice. In the last paragraph, "this is a counter proof... what the majority's need". I think it should be "what the mahority needs". These are some silly mistakes and I think you should be more careful when writing. Also, in a sentence where you should use "investment", you wrote "invest". Anyway, these are not serious problems. If you are careful next time, you will improve a lot.
