参考范文：The Harm Caused by Misleading Information Online

As is revealed in the picture, a man is sitting in front of a computer searching information from the Internet, while a woman is standing by the door, holding a cup of coffee. The most striking feature is the caption under the picture, which reads "I just feel unfortunate to live in a world with so much misleading information!"

With a large amount of information coming up, the severity of misleading information arises. Unfortunately, if we lack the ability to distinguish the true information from the misleading one, we will finally fall prey to it, because the misleading information may get people into bad habits, even make them commit crimes. Numerous network fraud is a living example. In addition, there may be a trust crisis between individuals and the government, if we cannot correct the misleading news as soon as possible. For instance, the nuclear leakage in Japan in 2011 has caused great panic in Eastern China, where thousands of people went out to rob salt after the rumor that salt has an effect of anti-radiation, which brought about turbulence in the domestic market.

From what have been discussed above, it is therefore, necessary that some effective measures be taken to prevent ourselves from being misled by junk information. And in my opinion, learning to identify the authenticity of information online is the measure.
