IELTS Writing Task 2 008– We are

IELTS Writing Task 2 008– We are having too many choices nowadays(Rivised edition)

It seems that in the era of our parents or grandparents, our seniors were always perplexed (刚才查了有道词典发现我之前在一稿用的baffled/perplexed两个词都可以，意思和拼写也都对，看来我的直觉还是蛮可靠的。在这我就随便选了后一个单词，因为这个单词感觉更高大上一些，哈哈。) by the lack of basic living resources let along greater spiritual freedom, however, nowadays we comtemprary earth dwellers are cursed by another nuisance—too many choices. （在这里，我通过古今对比引出话题和立场，在一定程度上避免了雷同的模版式开场。）

To begin with, we modern people are surrounded by too many visible choices. Just take a look at our room, residential compound and living community, we can easily see our room are packed with more than enough clothes we can wear, too many food we can eat in the refrigerator, too much space for us to live and more than enough ways of transportation we can choose from, such as private cars, subway trains, mobike sharing bicycles, buses and internet car hailing service. What’s more, if we pay a visit to the local shopping malls or log onto the e-commerce website like the Amazon.com or T-Mall of Taobao.com, we are very likely to be dazzled by the infinite number of items available to us consumers and the  list of tangible materials can go on and on even turning the matter of proper choice into a huge headache for us modern people sometimes.（这一段写得很精彩，一气呵成，所以二稿中完全没做修改。）

On top of that, too many invisible choices also pose great trouble for us to settle on the sensible decision. For example, city residents find it very hard to determine which goods of similar uses to purchase when they are bombarded by the endless advertisement commercials; migrant workers find it difficult to select jobs, bosses or places that are most suitable for them when they are faced with too much relevant information online; high school graduates and their dedicated parents encounter huge annoyance of opting for the most suitable higher education institutes  and programmes for the kids’ further study due to more than enough amount of enrollment publicity available to them, so on and so forth. In short, we (这里我用we换了之前用的us，这样感觉更符合英语语法要求。) modern people are besieged by invisible bits of useful or useless data and more often than not (刚才用有道查了这个词，发现用的完全正确，再一次为自己点赞。）

In summary, modern men and women are living in a world with more than enough choices for them to utilize and digest, this situation is more a curse than a blessing. Measures need to be taken to address this issue before it deteriorates into something beyond our grip.（这一段自我感觉也不错。再次阅读后也没发现什么问题，所以就一字未动保持原样啦。）
