和自然的共生一直是人类亘古不变的话题,大禹年代需要治水,春秋战国得修都江堰,隋唐时代花钱修京杭大运河,明清时代大力加固淮河,近几十年我们修完三峡接着修南水北调。就连语言考试都需要我们对环境的治理抒发抒发感受,提一提建议。现实是,除了少扔垃圾多种树,好像确实也是无话可说了?
下面就让我们一起来学习下雅思写作中出现的高频环境类话题类型及应对方案吧!
环保责任
这一类题目通常会从三方—
政府、企业和个人角度发起问责,到底谁才是真正应该对环境负责或者分别要负什么样的责任,也就是可以实行的环保措施。
?例题1:
The environmental problem in the world cannot be solved by ordinary people, and governments and large companies should be responsible for the problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
环境问题不能由个人解决,应该依靠政府
?例题2:
Fresh water has always been a limited resource in some parts of the world. Today, however, growing worldwide demand has made this a global problem.
What are the causes of the increased demand, and what measures could governments and individuals take to respond to this problem?
如何解决缺水问题
?例题3:
People generally know that the environment is important. However, most individuals still don't take responsibilities to protect the environment. Why is this? What should be done to encourage people to protect the environment?
