Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? To increase economic growth, government can neglect environmental concerns.
Perhaps no issue in this world is as significant to economic growth as environmental protection. (artemisan这是想表达:没有比经济发展和环境保护更重要的问题还是想表达为了经济发展没有比环境保护更重要的问题了?根据后文我YY一下应该是前者吧?perhaps no issue is more significant than economic growth and environmental)Although there is a wide belief that these two matters are interrelated and can’t achieve the success of one unless sacrifice the other(unless这样用应该不合适的,首先是主语问题谁sacrifice,unless做连词得是完整的句子。改成without the sacrifice of the other). I, given the chance, would absolutely protest the idea that government can neglect environmental concerns in order to increaseeconomic growth.
To begin with, no one can doubt the indisputable fact that increasingly serious pollution over last (the past) years has caused a world wide (worldwide) concern. We’ve always heard that citizens are beseting with(这个词组好好啊!但是得用被动的,还是原型be beset with/by) the toxic air or polluted water released by chemistry factory and that many workers are suffering from lung cancer because of their severe working conditions. The fact that a highly profitable factory which also contributes much revenue to government is usually an environment-sacrificing factory is not uncommon. Government should always bear in mind that the health of its citizens is an intangible asset. Only its citizens have a good health will the country has (正着说的的话就是: the country will have the hope, 所以得用have的,我觉得这里的will,改成can 可能更好一些) hope to be prosperous.
In addition, putting the discussion (putting的逻辑主语是后面的a further reason是说不通的,我觉得直接把putting the discussion去掉就可以。当然在句首加上这种非谓语动词形式很好,注意逻辑主语就行了~~)in a wider context, a further reason why I disapprove that the government neglect environment problems lies in the fact that a country which insist(insists) on obtaining economic profit at the expense of environment will always be condemned by other countries since we only have one Earth and no one has authority to destroy it.(这一段一句话下来,好累的说!)
Finally, frankly speaking, there is also a more practical reason why environmental protection is(去掉)outweigh(outweighs) economic growth. Since most of resources in the Earth are limited, environmental deterioration is irreversible. We should build up our own environmental conscious (consciousness of environmental conservation) because it is the place where we live and survive. Even if we have the ability to change the environment, we can not fight with nature. If we pursue profit too much so that destroy the environment (改一下不知道是不是符合你的意思:at the expense of the destruction of our surroundings ), we would have to face the worst consequence of what we have done.
In brief, we should treat the environment with awe. I am fully convinced that any country should never attempt to increase economic growth at the cost of the environment and those who are blind to this point will pay a heavy price which they cannot to pay(afford).
上面是我的一些建议,你看看有什么问题可以继续讨论。你的文章可以用例子去丰富一些就好了,练习的时候想想同义词替换什么的。共同进步!! |
