作文題目：

Developments of technology are causing environmental problems. Some people think the solution is that everyone accepts a simpler life, while others believe that technology can solve these problems. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

分析： 題目難在拓展，容易跑題。

不需要提解決方法，需要你解釋個(gè)人為何能解決環(huán)境問題，以及科技如何解決環(huán)境問題。

范文

There is no doubt that modern technology has caused a variety of environmental issues, both in cities and towns. Ironically, I feel that technology can address some of these problems but at the same time, personal effort is a must.

Theoretically, addressing some environmental issues by adopting simple lifestyles is sensible. According to the statistics, during the last 100 years, the earth's surface temperature has risen dramatically because of human activities. Therefore, some people feel that the changes in our lifestyles can reverse this worrying trend. For example, the growing number of vehicles on the road emits a large quantity of green house gases, such as carbon dioxide, which will worsen the air quality. If residents chose other modes of transport, like buses or subways, this serious condition would be alleviated to a large extent. However, in my opinion, this policy would be very unpopular with some people, especially those living in the suburb, who do need to travel on roads.

While it is undeniable that an individual's behaviour has a profound effect on the environment, other people argue that the improvement in technology can tackle some problems in turn. For example, the technology today is available to produce electric cars that would be both quieter and cleaner to use. Persuading manufacturers and travellers to adopt this new technology would be a more effective strategy for improving air quality fundamentally.

My own view is that apart from individual effort and environmental friendly technologies, we need to do more, such as introducing related laws and regulations. Environmental problems are so complex that each effort should be combined together to win the battle.

毫無疑問，現(xiàn)代技術(shù)在城市和城鎮(zhèn)造成了各種環(huán)境問題。具有諷刺意味的是，我覺得技術(shù)可以解決其中一些問題，但與此同時(shí)，個(gè)人的努力是必須的。

從理論上講，通過采取簡(jiǎn)單的生活方式來解決一些環(huán)境問題是明智的。據(jù)統(tǒng)計(jì)，在過去100年中，由于人類活動(dòng)，地球表面溫度急劇上升。因此，一些人認(rèn)為，我們生活方式的改變可以扭轉(zhuǎn)這種令人擔(dān)憂的趨勢(shì)。例如，道路上越來越多的車輛排放大量的溫室氣體，如二氧化碳，這將惡化空氣質(zhì)量。如果居民選擇其他交通方式，如公共汽車或地鐵，這種嚴(yán)重的狀況將在很大程度上得到緩解。然而，在我看來，這項(xiàng)政策對(duì)一些人來說是非常不受歡迎的，尤其是那些住在郊區(qū)的人，他們確實(shí)需要在路上旅行。

盡管不可否認(rèn)，個(gè)人行為對(duì)環(huán)境有著深遠(yuǎn)的影響，但其他人認(rèn)為，技術(shù)的進(jìn)步可以反過來解決一些問題。例如，今天的技術(shù)可用于生產(chǎn)使用更安靜、更清潔的電動(dòng)汽車。說服制造商和旅行者采用這項(xiàng)新技術(shù)將是從根本上改善空氣質(zhì)量的更有效策略。

我個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)是，除了個(gè)人努力和環(huán)保技術(shù)外，我們還需要做更多的工作，比如引入相關(guān)法律法規(guī)。環(huán)境問題如此復(fù)雜，每一項(xiàng)努力都應(yīng)該結(jié)合在一起才能贏得這場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)斗。
