以經濟發展和環境保護為主題的英文寫作

Economic Development and Environmental Protection(經濟發展與環境保護)

1．有人認為經濟發展不應以環境為代價；

2．有人認為經濟發展不應考慮環境問題；

3．我的看法。

[寫作導航]第一段以提綱1為主題句，然後舉例説明忽視環境而發展經濟對環境造成的`破壞；第二段以提綱2為主題句，理由是發展經濟必然帶來環境問題，等以後有了錢和時間再來解決；第三段寫我的觀點：不同意提綱2的主張，認為應協調發展與環境的關係。

[範文]

Some people believe that economic development should never be at the cost of the environment。 They think the present serious environmental problems are largely caused by rapideconomic development。 For example， land resources are shrinking because of the industrial development and the expansion of cities。 Deserts are spreading because of over grazing， poor fanning， tree cutting， and strip mining。 Our air and water supplies are being polluted by poisonous gassesand waste products。 It is important， therefore， that we should take another look at the way in which our industries and cities are developing。

However， other people think it unnecessary to consider environmental problems now and our first priority should always be given to economic development。 They believe that environmental problems are inevitable and unavoidable in the process of economic development。 They are only the by products of economic development， which can be dealt with later when we have the time and money。

I think the second idea is completelywrong。 Our ultimate aim in economic development is to provide a comfortable and happy life for our people。 What is the point of economic development if we achieve it at the cost of our environment? There has been much evidence to prove that a balance between the two helps more rapid and continuous development。
