Dear editor,
Recently our classmates have had a heated discussion about the topic “Environment or economy, must we choose?”.Some students are in favor of the development of environment, while others put economy above environment.
The students who are worried about the environment say that many plants and animals have died and fish are even given no time to lay eggs. Besides, water and air are seriously polluted, making people sick. While we damage our environment, we keep producing more and more people who need more land to live on and more food to eat.
As to the students for economy, they propose, first of all, people are more important than plants and animals. As a matter of fact, many companies and factories are very concerned about the environment and have sense of responsibility. In addition, with the development of economy, more jobs will be created.
選擇其中三點(In my opinion, I think, firstly, we should produce more things from recycled materials, and less from materials taken directly from nature. Secondly, more effective laws to preserve the environment should be made, which controls the scale of trees-cutting and fish-catching. Thirdly, we try to live an environmentally friendly way of life and pay slightly higher prices for things that are environmentally friendly. what’s more, companies producing chemical waste should pay higher taxes. With these measures, I believe that a healthy environment and a stable economy should be possible at the same time.)
試題分析:本文屬于陳述正反方觀點的議論文作文,主題是Environment or Economy,給出了大部分要點,就是對環(huán)境和經(jīng)濟的不同觀點,要考生給出自己的觀點。文章結構清晰,先是一些同學認為環(huán)境更重要的觀點,然后是認為經(jīng)濟更重要的觀點,最后是自己的觀點,要求考生用地道的英語表達自己的觀點,要求觀點明確,駕馭語言的能力強,選擇詞匯的時候要選擇相對高級的詞匯,也要運用多種句型,讓文章更有變化。難度在于選擇合適的詞匯和句型表達文章需要的意思,可以變換使用一些容易駕馭的句子或者詞匯實現(xiàn)同樣的目的。在寫作的時候要運用合適的連接詞把要點串聯(lián)起來,使文章成為一個整體。
點評:本文屬于正反方觀點作文,但是要點給出的比較全,只需要考生表達清楚,還有自己的觀點。在寫作的時候要適合合適的連接詞來連接各要點,使他們成為整體。要選擇高級的詞匯和句型,讓文章有變化,有層次。
