What is the most useful action for people to help environment in their local community: Plant trees and create parks; Persuade local shops to stop providing plastic bags to customers; Increase access to public transportation (such as buses and trains), thus, reduce the automobile on the road. |
| 题型类别: | 三选一话题 |
| 写作思路： |
同学们，拿到这道题的一瞬间是不是觉得无从下手了，因为三个选项似乎都有合理的一面，要从中选出最佳方式感觉无从对比了。 考场上遇到这种新题，一定不要慌张。再仔细看一遍题目，划出重要的信息点：help environment , local community以及三种方式。然后大家结合下自己的小区情况开始想理由。 我们发现如今小区周边公共交通还是挺完善的，但是大家还是自己开车上下班吧。同时，现在小区周边的绿化都是做的很不错的，所以也没有必要再绿化。所以目前最有效的方式还是禁止使用塑料袋吧～ 是不是结合自身情况就能想到足够的理由跟例子呢？ |

Main point: Persuade local shops to stop providing plastic bags to customers 目前还没有有效的处理塑料袋的方式。塑料袋的发明给人们的生活带来了许多便利。但是也正是因为它的便利和便宜，使得塑料袋在我们的生活中被滥用，尤其是在商店。同时我们发现塑料是很难被分解的，对我们的环境尤其是土壤造成了极大的危害。所以禁止商店使用垃圾袋在很大程度上可以有效地减少污染。 种植树木和公园的必要性不是那么强。树木对于改善小区的环境、净化小区的空气确实起着至关重要的作用。不过，目前城市规划中都设置了相应的绿化布局，也就是说基本每个小区都会有对应的公园跟绿化区域。所以植树和造公园的必要性也不是那么大了。 公共交通未必能够有效的减少车辆。以我自己为例，我家小区附近公共交通很方便，但是还是发现大量的居民选择自己开车，或者打车（例如滴滴）。因为随着经济的发展，目前基本每家每户都有车，人们不会买辆车放在车库，选择坐公共交通。同时自己开车或者打车毕竟更加便利；公共交通站毕竟不可能建在家门口，公交车也不可能走最短路径，以最快的方式把我们送到目的地。所以通过完善公共交通这个方式减少车流量未必有效。 |

With the sense of community becoming much stronger, how to protect the environment of local communities has never failed to attract the attention of the general public. Therefore, when it comes to which is the most feasible measure to help environment, among planting trees and building parks, encouraging local shops to stop using plastic bags, and improving public transportation, people's notions may vary from one to another. Towards such a long-running tug-of-war, I am inclined to claim that the first option is the best.
Firstly, growing trees and constructing parks can definitely help to ameliorate the environment. For one thing, more trees will contribute to the improvement of the air quality of the whole neighborhood. As is common sense, the prosperous industrial development has produced large amounts of waste gas, with the result that the haze and smoggy weather shroud quite frequently the major cities in our country. The current air condition necessitates the planting of trees, which can purify the contaminated air to a large extent. In other words, trees, the lung of the earth, play a vital role in absorbing some harmful gas and producing more fresh air through photosynthesis. For another, the public parks can be helpful to increase the biodiversity of the local community. Accompanying the rapid urbanization, an increasing number of natural lands have been utilized for constructing factories, shopping mall and skyscrapers, which greatly diminishes the natural habitats of animals, such as birds and squirrels. In this case, parks become the only place which can serve as habitats for those animals. Accordingly, the species of animals living here can become more diverse.
In addition, there are certain limitations for the other two options. Admittedly, reducing the use of plastic bags and making public transportation more accessible may also be conducive to the environmental protection in some degrees. To illustrate, if the plastic bags are prohibited, the so-called white pollution will be relieved. Also, easier access to public transportation means less use of private cars, which leads to the reduction of car exhaust. However, in comparison to planting trees and building parks, the above two measures enjoy less popularity among the residents of the community and thus are unlikely to be implemented. The underlying reason is that growing trees and constructing parks can create a more comfortable living environment while the other two choices can bring about more inconvenience. To be more specific, if shops stop the use of plastic shopping bags, the customers have to take a cloth bag while shopping. Also, taking public transportation will take longer time than driving the private cars, which means that commuters have to get up much earlier than before. It is self-evident that whether a policy can be carried out directly determines its effect, which is especially true of the above situation.
Taking what has been discussed above, we can draw the conclusion that the most effective way of protecting environment in local communities is to plant trees and create parks.
