7. What should we do to take care of our Mother Earth?

這是一個(gè)口袋問題，歡迎提出任何有創(chuàng)意的idea區(qū)解決身邊的問題。特別是提出一些從自身做起，從身邊做起的建議更能得到考官的認(rèn)同。

Candidate 1: Our Mother Earth is the only home of man up till the present moment. Everyone has the duty to protect our Mother Earth. As students, what should we do to take care of her?

First, in order to reduce the so-called "white pollution", we could use paper bags instead of plastic bags. We also could take bags that can be used over and over again when go shopping. As we all know, normal plastic bags won't decompose easily. They will pollute the soil in spite of being buried deeply.

Second, we shouldn't throw garbege here and there. And we should make efforts to pick up teh little we see on streets. If everyone can do it, our city and countryside will be cleaner and cleaner.

Third, we have to help people raise their awareness of environmental protection. Our concept is the most important and fundamental. Our concept is the most important and fundamental. Only when we're conscious of its significance, could the environment of our Mother Earth be better and better.

Candidate 2: In the modern society, the economic benefit is considered more and more important. Therefore, the problem of how to take care of our Mother Earth has become very serious. Firtly, we should launch more publicity campaigns to enhance people's awareness of the importance of environmental protection. Secondly, we should do some things from now on, such as collecting the used batteries, recycling the plastic stuff, sorting the rubbish and so on. Last but not least, we should eliminate the pollution at source. For instance, factories should dispose of the waste gas, water or material before discharge. If everyone plays his part, our environment would be improved a great deal. So everybody is supposed to spare no efforts to preserve our Mother Earth—for ourselves, and the future generations of our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Candidte 3: Protecting the environment so as to make our Mother Earth in good condition is a daily thing. For example, when summer or winter comes, you may turn on the air conditioner. "In fact, when you heat or cool, your home has a big effect on the earth", says John Cormody, an environmental researcher. He says that bulidings consume more energy than transportation and industry. Almost half of the energy that buildings use goes into heating or cooling.

In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete meansures.

First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through education. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the family planning policy into practice, because more people mean more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves. If we do our best, tomorrow will surely be better!

對(duì)于口袋問題的回答，需要一定的技巧。僅僅依靠關(guān)聯(lián)詞將一些現(xiàn)象鋪陳下來，提出相應(yīng)的建議是不夠的，注意內(nèi)在關(guān)聯(lián)是不可忽視的一個(gè)方面。相比Candidate 1而言，Candidate 2在保護(hù)地球策略的分析上，內(nèi)在關(guān)聯(lián)更為明顯，從樹立意識(shí)到腳踏實(shí)地，以及反對(duì)污染等具體措施，使考官更為容易理解和接受；Candidate 3則突出顯示以小見大的表達(dá)手法。
