Intro：Demo opening
Human activities have been jeopardizing most animals’ lives and have accelerated the rate at which natural environment exacerbates. Thus, governments and environmentalists have been working on the front line to protect the fragile planet where we live by listing a few options for us citizens to take, such as exploiting solar energy, establishing natural resources conservation and enforcing laws to prevent air and water pollution by large companies, of all three possible solutions, I believe national governments should invest financial support in developing new energy sources..
论点1：首先，投入资金 in discovering new energy 可以 radically 解决various environmental problems. As is common sense,日益恶化的deteriorating环境 environment 是由于化石燃料的过度的开采 overexploitation of fossil fuels。具体来讲To be specific各种各样的化工厂, numerous chemical plants 通常燃烧煤炭来提供能量去生产manufacturing 所有的商品，以满足satisfy the basic needs of the general public. 因为As a result大量的工业废料industrial wastes 被排泄 discharged ，对自然环境造成负面影响to take a toll on the natural environment。再者Also， 汽油驱动的汽车petrol-powered automobiles 会释放废气 emit car exhaust，增加公众患呼吸道疾病respiratory diseases的危险。因此，需要find new and clean energy like solar energy, wind power and tidal power去解决以上环境问题。
论点2：其次，另外两个措施有明显局限 conspicuous limitation of the other two options。对于preserving natural places,效果relatively restricted.具体来讲， 保护自然地the preservation of natural places 将阻碍 hinder 燃料获取access，进而阻碍社会发展。除此之外， passing laws会迫使corporation削减产量cut down their output，减少 profits甚至going bankcrupt.

综合写作：
话题: Ninth Leigh消失的三个原因讨论
阅读部分：有三种理论：
1.消失于Scotland。因为当时苏格兰有rebellion叛乱,the Ninth ，结果在战役中被灭.
2.消失于Netherlands。因为考古学家在Netherlands发现了一种特殊的roof tiles，能推测是士兵给修理的。
3.消失于Judea，Roman governor派 the Ninth Legion去Judea征战，他们在路上或在战役中被wiped out。
听力部分反驳：
1.如果第九军团是在如今的Scotland平定叛乱的战役中消失的，那场战役battle将会巨大无比。 如真在苏格兰被灭了，那么在战场遗址中一定能找到属于第九军团的残害设备，但事实是没有武器碎片debris或者遗迹remains。
2.Netherlands的roof tiles推测not convincing，做这种rooftile要用窑(kiln) ，但荷兰找不到kiln。所以在那边建造或是修理roof tile没有重组证据。再者，其实这种roof tile在别的地方也能做，比如Britain就可以。那就可能在Britain做好了tile后运到荷兰。既然是运，那什么人都能运，不一定是soldiers.
3消失在Judea也不合理，因为把第九军团派到Judea去not efficient。Geologically，the Ninth Legion处于大陆的west edge,而Judea在east edge,两者之间有其他的军团，要派也是派其他军团去。
