雅思作文：关于垃圾问题（点评）

The roads are dotted with trash, the railways are littered with decaying garbage and our cities are disgraced by plastic bags. Lately, the worsening rubbish problem has aroused people’s wide concern.Some hold the belief that it is an overstatement to claim that people have formed a “throw away”society, and that they just discard the used items,which is necessary. Others, however, firmly contend that people do develop a habit of throwing things away. Personally, I firmly side with the latter.

点评：作文采用了先阐述现在的垃圾的现象，然后接着引出了关于此现象不同的观点。并在最后阐述了作者自己的观点。里面的用词很不错。算是作文中的佼佼之笔。

It is no doubt that our cities are on the way towards becoming a huge landfill. To begin with,people are in the habit of littering. Nowadays, people tend to discard old items like outdated furniture and worn-out appliance, which are actually recoverable. Furthermore, due to the in adequate facilities of garbage collection, people throw away their refuse everywhere at will.In addition, rubbish is in rapid increase. In the first place the quickening tempo of modern lifestyle gives rise to people’s favor of disposable items for sake of convenience, which greatly adds the amount of rubbish. In the second place, the development of science and technology also contributes to it. It generates new product in a more frequent way, which makes the old ones cast aside as rubbish at a quicker pace. Consequently, our cities are decorated with trash.

In view of the severity of the issue, we should adopt immediate measure to address it.First of all, the government should play a leading role. It ought to bring in strong anti-littering laws, backed by heavy penalties and effective enforcement, to tackle the littering behaviors.Also, officials should make good use of mass media to promote the public’s awareness of environmental protection, making sure that everyone will become a conscious environment protector. Additionally, scientists can develop efficient technologies to degrade and recycle the rubbish. Research findings reveal that 63% of the refuse nowadays are recycled. Finally, it is essential for schools to attach importance to environmental education, so that every child will become environmentally friendly and get rid of the littering habit.

点评：在论文的主体部分，作者根据自己的观点提出了自己的解决方法。1 +3 模式，第 1 句是主题句。 4 段论的作文的主体段是两面讨论，但是小编还是喜欢这样的写作，即主体段的观点还是有侧重的，把让步段放在前面，最后 1 句话引出下一段，这样过度地很自然，而且自己的观点也比较明确。

In conclusion, people’s littering habit is turning our communities into a rubbish holder. It is high time that we took joint effort to solve the rubbish problem. Otherwise, we will live with rubbish in the future.

点评：最后作者总结了自己的观点，并发出呼吁，希望大家善待我们的环境。
