2018年4月14日雅思写作真题7分范文：保护环境
保护环境是每个人的责任，首先是政府要让人们认识到环境的重要性。在很大程度上，这种责任应由政府和当地人民共同分担。
It is quite obvious that all people should do their part in taking care of the local environment, but there are always some people more committed to their environmental obligations than others. One important reason is that those who do less harbor a misconception that individuals can do little or nothing to make a noticeable difference. In fact, all individuals have created the environmental problems by neglecting the environment, and that must mean that together they can fix most problems, whether they are making large or small contributions. Another reason is that, in the name of economic development, people pollute the local rivers and lakes by putting into them dirty water or industrial wastes.
很明显，所有的人都应尽自己的责任照顾当地的环境，但总有一些人比其他人更诚心来履行其环境义务。一个重要的原因是，那些做得较少的人有一种误解，认为个人做不了什么，改变不了什么。事实上，所有的个体都通过忽略环境而制造了环境问题，这就意味着如果一起努力，他们能够解决大多数问题，无论是做大还是小贡献。另一个原因是，以经济发展的名义，人们将脏水或工业废物放进当地河流和湖泊，从而污染它们。
Then, apart from enforcing regulations and using penalties or fines as a means to hold individuals accountable for their damage to the environment, the government should do more to alert people to the way the environment is going, then people would be more likely to do their bit. If people are not reminded of the risks that affect their own local environment, they will often forget. Unless there is a particular crisis going on, it is always the case that the public will become immune to shocking statistics or terrible photos, for they have seen too many of them and tend to neglect them. It is, therefore, the job of the government to keep informing the public (through television or other media) of the current environmental issues.
因此，除了执行法规，并以处罚或罚款作为手段来追究个人对环境造成的损害，政府还应采取更多措施，提醒人们注意环境的现状，这样，人们将更有可能尽好他们自己的职责。如果不提醒人们注意影响当地环境的风险，他们往往会忘记。除非有某个危机发生，公众往往对那些令人震惊的统计数据或可怕的照片无动于衷，因为他们已经看过太多这样的东西，往往会忽视它们。所以，政府的工作就是不断(通过电视或其他媒体)向公众宣传当前的环境问题。
To a great extent, the responsibility for looking after the local environment must be shared by the government and individuals. The government should let the public know that environmental protection is everybody’s business. Otherwise, what seems to be everybody’s business would become nobody’s business.(330 words)
在很大程度上，保护当地环境的责任必须由政府和个人共同承担。政府应该让公众知道环境保护是每个人的事。否则，似乎是每个人都该管的事就会变成人人都不管的事。
