2017雅思寫作范文：氣候變化，要努力避免還是適應(yīng)?

　　Task：Some people think that instead of preventing climate change, we need to find a way to live with it. Do you agree or disagree?

　　有人認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)適應(yīng)氣候而不是防止氣候變化。你在多大程度上同意或者不同意?

　　解析：

　　氣候變化是一個(gè)全球性的問(wèn)題。前幾年大家談及最多的就是氣候變暖(global warming, greenhouse effect)問(wèn)題，好像地球大難臨頭的樣子。近些年科學(xué)界對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題又有了重新認(rèn)識(shí)，全球變暖的問(wèn)題好像并不那么迫切了。因此，7月16日這個(gè)雅思作文題目才得以出臺(tái)。要在15年前出這個(gè)題目，估計(jì)雅思考試本身都會(huì)被人噴死!那么，現(xiàn)在，這個(gè)問(wèn)題提出就沒(méi)有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)了。面對(duì)氣候變化，我們應(yīng)該努力去避免它，還是努力去適應(yīng)它?

　　看起來(lái)耳熟能詳?shù)膯?wèn)題，論證起來(lái)卻不那么容易。如果你寫難了，你的英語(yǔ)表達(dá)一定很有問(wèn)題。那么，如何比較簡(jiǎn)單入手來(lái)論述呢?首先，描寫一下近年來(lái)的氣候變化情況，然后講避免氣候變化成本很高，還不如去適應(yīng)它。那么，如何講避免氣候變化成本高呢?從技術(shù)層面上去講的話，累死你，效果還絕對(duì)差，所以還不如舉例。然后，論證如何適應(yīng)氣候變化，就很容易了。

　　參考范文：

　　Climate change has become a worldwide issue in recent decades. The Earth, according to some scientists, is becoming warmer and warmer and this is an alert signal for the future safety of the Earth. For these scientists, we must do something to prevent the climate from becoming worse. Meanwhile, there are also scientists who do not think much of the climate change and therefore suggest that we do nothing but find a way to live with it. For my part, I agree with the second group of scientists.

　　To reverse the climate change is never an easy undertaking. The widely acknowledged causes of climate change include the automobile gas emissions, factory pollution, deforestation, among others. If we wish to prevent the climate change, we will have to significantly reduce the use of cars and airplanes, close most of the factories and stop people from cutting trees. This means that, in order to make the Earth become cooler by one or two centigrade degree, our normal life will have to sacrifice. This is a cost most of us would never want to pay, although we have been repeatedly told of the benefits of doing so to the future generation.

　　Then, in face of climate change, rather than trying to prevent it, we'd better try to find a way to live with it. For instance, when the hotter climate makes it impossible to grow a certain vegetable in summer, we can grow it earlier than now, store it and then eat it when the weather becomes too hot. Also, we can develop new technologies to grow the vegetable we need even when the climate has changed. Furthermore, when it is necessary, we can make adjustments about our work hours. If the weather has become intolerably hot, we can have a few days off and make up when it gets back to normal. Such flexibilities will help us solve the climate change problem and at the same time will not bring down our productivity.

　　Climate change is not a good thing, but for the time being, I do not think we should take expensive and costly measures to prevent it. Rather, I believe we should find a way to live with it.
