Analysis:
喜好类话题,建议考生使用“大小举例法”进行扩展。
Sample Answer:
Yea, I’m really into comedies, like Home Alone
and Cheaper
by the Dozen. I feel they can help
me know about American
cultures, and at the
same time, I get a kick out of watching
these
movies especially when I feel depressed.
雅思口语趋势分析和备考指导 本次考试仍然是2019年9-12月的话
题库,全
国各地有众多考场,不同考场用的是同一个话题库,但是
不同考场的高频题目不一样,建议考生在考试前
可以关注下考场的
高频话题。
Part 1:
总体上来说,题目难易程度和上个季
度差不多,保留了大部分常规
题,比如worktravelhometownstar
smarket等,也增加了一些
稍微抽象的话题,比如tirednessvoice 等,当然还有
一部分是去
年的常考题目,比如friendsmovies等,建议考生在准备part1 的
话题时一定要去多开口练习,可以根据自己的真实经历来讲即可,
不必过多套用模板或者是句型。
Part 2:
再来看整个part2的话题情况,口语part2的新题都比较新颖,比<
br>如出现了“美丽天空”--Describe a beautiful sky you
enjoyed
seeing. 其实上个季度中part1 中有sky
这个话题,考生可以参考
之前part1 准备过的一些素材。此外,很多话题也是从早前的旧话
题翻新过来的,比如“地区特产”Describe a popular product made
in your region. 这个话和之前的part2 的“纪念品” 很相似,准
备
过的考生可以适当把之前的内容加以适当改编既可。part2的某些
话题可以适当进行合并,因为pa
rt2 的话题卡目前是有50多个,每
个都准备一个素材的话,需要大量的精力,有很多话题其实是可
以
使用同一个素材库的。
Part3:
整体上来说,难易程度与之前持平,考生只
要尽量清楚表明自己的
观点即可,可以用些话题词汇,不需要用到特别生僻的词汇。Part3
切记不能重复来重复去,让观点简洁明了。

写作范文
Permanency used to be a salient, immutable feature
characterizing paid jobs in the past. Now,
such trait has been
stripped from our modern
understanding of what a job means to
us.
Frequent switching between tangentially related
lines of
career has almost become a norm. The
causes are diverse, yet
there are effective
strategies to prime contemporary working
adults for such drastic changes.
One
prominent cause motivating such radical shift lies
in the
dawn of novel technologies and
inventions that transform the
landscape of
many traditional industries and sectors.
Cutting-edge technologies are actively and
indiscriminately
adopted and incorporated into
industrial practice, rendering
jobs that rely
heavily on manual power obsolete and generating
plenty of new jobs for which technologies
could do most of the
work. Besides,
there is an oft-neglected social dimension
attached to such change. The elimination and
creation of jobs
constitute part of a timely
response to the ever-changing,
unpredictable
shift of consumer needs. While consumers’ taste
is evolving, profit-driven companies have to
make constant
adjustments and adaptations as
well, thus turning job
permanency into a
remote fairy tale.
Yet, pessimistic
picture painted of such transformations is
often unnecessarily exaggerated. There is
plenty we could do
to make adequate
preparation in advance. First, keeping
oneself
abreast of the latest developments of the industry
will endow people engaged in the industry with
first-mover
advantage. Instead of being left
in the dark and making painful
changes as
required, we could take initiative of transforming
ourselves from the role of followers into that
of pioneers.
Sources such as professional
journals or applications that
send industrial
updates on a regular basis could be of
tremendous assistance. An alternative strategy
is to pick up
a broad range of professional
skills and knowledge to prepare
for the worst-
case scenarios. In case of industrial downturn
or total collapse, the original skillset
people rely on is no
longer helpful;
developing new skills to ready oneself for a
career shift is thus crucial. Fortunately, a
host of online
courses are available to guide
dummies from beginner’s level
to that of
experts.
In conclusion, the dawn of
advanced technologies and shifts
in consumer
tastes prove the dual drivers of dramatic changes
at workplaces and working adults can prepare
themselves by
either gaining access to latest
development in the industry
or arming oneself
with an eclectic range of skills before it
is
too late.

Reading Passage 1
Title Russia Ballet
Question types TRUE
FALSE NOT GIVEN 6题
Completion 7题
文章内容回顾
Until 1689, ballet in Russia was nonexistent.
The Tsarist control and isolationism in Russia
allowed for
little influence from the West. It
wasn't until the rise of
Peter the Great that
Russian society opened up to the West.
St.
Petersburg was erected to embrace the West and
compete
against Moscow’s isolationism. Peter
the Great created a new
Russia which rivaled
the society of the West with magnificent
courts and palaces. His vision was to
challenge the west.
Classical ballet entered
the realm of Russia not as
entertainment, but
as a “standard of physical comportment to
be
emulated and internalized” - an idealized way of
behaving.
The aim was not to entertain the
masses of Russians, but to
create a cultivated
and new Russian people.
Empress
Anna, (1730 – 1740) was devoted to ostentatious
amusements (balls, fireworks, tableaux), and
in the summer of
1734 ordered the appointment
of Jean-Baptiste Landé as
dancing master in
the military academy she had founded in 1731
for sons of the nobility. In 1738, he became
ballet master and
head of the new ballet
school, launching the advanced study
of ballet
in Russia, and winning the patronage of elite
families.
France provided many
leaders such as Charles Didelot in St
Petersburg (1801-1831), Jules Perrot
(1848-1859) and Arthur
Saint-Léon (1859-69).
In the early 19th century, the theaters
were opened up to
anyone who could afford a
ticket. A seating section called a
rayok, or
'paradise gallery', consisted of simple wooden
benches. This allowed non-wealthy people
access to the ballet,
because tickets in this
section were inexpensive.
One author
describes the imperial ballet as “unlike that of
any other country in the world”. The most
prestigious ballet
troupes were those
attached to the state-supported theatres.
The
directors of these companies were personally
appointed by
the tsar, and all the dancers
were, in a sense, Imperial
servants. In the
theatre, the men in the audience always
remained standing until the tsar entered his
box and, out of
respect, after the performance
they remained in their places
until he had
departed. Curtain calls were arranged according
to a strict pattern: first, the ballerina
bowed to the tsar’
s box, then to that of the
theater director, and finally to
the general
public.

相关英文原文阅读 The Talbot Park in
Auckland, New Zealand was
once described as a
state housing ghetto, rife with crimes,
vandalism and other social problems. But today
it has
undergone an urban renewal makeover.
A
The buildings in Talbot Park are eye-
catching now and quite
different from other
state-built ones. “There is no reason
why
public housing should look cheap in view,” says
Design
Group architect Neil. The bricks and
wood-built houses and
apartments are tidy.
B
Talbot Park is a triangle of government-
owned land bounded by
Apirana Ave, Pilkington
Ed and Point England Rd. In the early
1960s it
was developed for state housing build around a
linear
park that ran through the middle.
Initially, there was a strong
sense of a
family-friendly community. Former residents recall
how the Talbot Park reserve played a big part
in their
childhoods - a place where the kids
in the block came together
to play softball,
cricket, leapfrog and bulrush. “It was all
just good fun”, says George Thompson. “We had
respect for
our neighbors and addressed
them by the title Mr. and Mrs. so
and so,” she
recalls.
C
Quite what went wrong with
Talbot Park is not clear. The
community began
to change in the late 1970s as more immigrants
such as Pacific Islanders and Europeans moved
in. The new
arrivals didn’t integrate with the
community, a “them and
us” mentality
developed, and residents interacted with their
neighbors less. What was clear was that the
buildings were
deteriorating and shabbier. The
rate of crime was on the rise
and the reserve-
focus of fond childhoods memories-had become
a
wasteland and was considered unsafe. But it wasn’t
until
2002 that Housing New Zealand decided
the properties needed
upgrading.
D
Some controversial views arose when the
program started and
actually, the program made
the density of the people greater.
As the
building in the park included free-standing
houses,
semi-detached or low-level apartments,
the state took the mix
and match strategy
which involved different architects and
prevented the buildings from being the same.
And the interiors
such as the kitchen and
bathroom were made comfortable and not
over the budget. The walls in the
community were canceled and
showed the people
with see-through openness.
E
The community
is comprised of different races: Pacific
islanders, Maoris, New Zealand Europeans. The
tenants also
include other races from Asia,
Ukraine and Iran. The design
of buildings
should be accommodated to the ethic cultures.
F
People who lived in the park are in low
socio-economic level.
Of the 5000 households
there, 55 percent are state houses, 28
percent
privately owned (compared to about 65 percent
nationally) and 17 percent are private rental.
The area has
a high concentration of an income
in the $$ 5000to $$15000 and
very few with an
income over $$70000. That’s in sharp contrast
to the more affluent suburbs like Kohumarama
and St. John’
s that surround the area.
G
There’s no doubt that good urban design and
good architecture
play a significant part in
the scheme. But probably more
important is a
new standard of social control. Housing New
Zealand calls it “intensive tenancy
management.” Others view
it as social
engineering. “It is a model that we are looking
at going forward,” according to Housing
New Zealand’s central
Auckland regional
manager Graham Bodman. “The focus is on
frequent inspections, helping tenants to get
to know each
other. That includes some strict
rules- no loud parties after
10 pm, no dogs,
no cats in the apartment, no washing hung over
balcony rails and a requirement to mow lawns
and keep the
property tidy. Housing New
Zealand has also been active in
organizing
morning teas and street barbecues for resident to
meet their neighbors. “It’s all based in the
intensification,”
says Community Renewal
project manager Stuart Bracey. “We
acknowledge
if you are going to put more people living closer
together you have to actually help them to
live together
because it creates tension-
especially for people that aren’
t used to it.”

本次考试考题精选范例解析 What’s your
favourite hairstyle?
Analysis: 喜欢的发型大家可以从
自己的具体情况出发,可以阐明
发型的具体情况,喜欢的原因或描述一些细节,还可以再加自己的
习惯和活动就可以了;另外需注意用时态变化。
Sample Answer :
Actually, my favourite hairstyle is crew cut,
which is dapper
and smart and suits my
personality. I usually go to the
barbershop
near the northern gate of my university once a
month
cos my hair grows fairly quickly. The
barber is quite
professional and always
charges me $$10 at a special discount
cos I'm a
university student and also a regular there. I
rarely
change my hairdo, cos my hair is
usually smooth and straight.
But it gets kind
of oily and messy after three or four days
so
it’s pretty hard to maintain my hairstyle if my
hair gets
long. Choosing a crew cut makes me
look youthful and energetic.

题目翻译
在某些文化,人们更加重视年迈的时候。在其他文化里,
人们更加重视年轻的时候。
讨论两个观点,并且给出你自己的观点。
写作指导 1.
注意时态,不要出现过去时(除非举过去的例子)
2.重复2012年3月31日老题。此题主要考察
人生的阶段对人的影
响。值得注意的是,是年迈的时候和年轻的时候二者的博弈,而非
年纪大的
人和年轻的人的价值差异。
推荐思路:四段式
Opening:
背景介绍,表达观点
Body1: 喜欢和珍惜年迈的时候,因为有更多的智慧和资源做很
多事
情,生活更加有成就感,没有那么多烦恼。而且,年迈的时候,人
们往往有一定的财富和专
业能力,更容易得到别人的尊重。
Body2: 有些人更加珍视年轻的时
期,因为这个时候可以不断的学习
和积累,从而不断的提升自己。而且,年轻的时候身体状况更好,可以做更多需要体力的事情,例如环球旅行之类的。
Conclusion:
重申立场,总结观点,做适当展望
写作范文 In diverse social and
cultural situations, people
from dissimilar
backgrounds may have divergent attitudes
toward the same issue regarding the value of
the old and youth.
Undoubtedly, as for me,
both life spans have their own glamor.
Having experienced and endured almost all the
hardships of
life, people in senior years tend
to be sufficiently
experienced. The abundant
philosophy and outlook for life that
elderly
people have attained in past years envelope them
with
a sense of accomplishment. Furthermore,
despite having
undergone some ups and downs,
people in later life are inclined
to be
equipped with so much wealth, which means they can
afford
commodities and services that they
desire to purchase and
possess, like luxurious
dress-up they yearned for in the youth,
houses
and apartments they have dreamed before, and the
like.
Therefore, senior years are cherished by
numerous people in
some societies.
However, young people are symbolized with
dynamic and
energetic figures, which enable
them to take on things
whatever they like. A
good case in point is an around-the-world
tour. Theme parks that are far away never
scare off youngsters
for they recognize that a
10-hour flight is just a little case
for them.
The delight of jet coaster and mega-drop never
discourage them in that they know their body
can afford such
stress. Another convincing
argument of younger ages is that
youth is a
period when they can acquire new knowledge. It is
tough for the pleasure resulting from other
things to match
the satisfaction bred in
study.
In conclusion, both periods have
their charms. What we can do
is to treasure
the present, and as the saying goes,” Yesterday
is history; tomorrow is mystery; only today is
a gift.”
题目评价 老题新出,难度不大
推荐练习 Some people
believe that women should play an equal
role
as men in a country’s police force or military
force,
while others think women are not
suitable for these kinds of
jobs.
Discuss both views and give your
opinion.

classify different
societies according to the degree to which
different groups within a society have unequal
access to
advantages such as resources,
prestige or power, and usually
refer to four
basic types of societies. From least to most
socially complex they are clans, tribes,
chiefdoms and states.
B
Clan
These are
small-scale societies of hunters and gatherers,
generally of fewer than 100 people, who move
seasonally to
exploit wild
(undomesticated) food resources. Most
surviving-hunter-gatherer groups are of this
kind, such as the
Hadza of Tanzania or the San
of southern Africa. Clan members
are generally
kinsfolk, related by descent or marriage. Clans
lack formal leaders, so there are no marked
economic
differences or disparities in status
among their members.
C
Because clans are
posed of mobile groups of hunter-gatherers,
their sites consist mainly of seasonally
occupied camps, and
other smaller and more
specialized sites. Among the latter are
kill
or butchery sites—locations where large mammals
are
killed and sometimes butchered—and work
sites, where tools
are made or other specific
activities carried out. The base
camp of such
a group may give evidence of rather insubstantial
dwellings or temporary shelters, along with
the debris of
residential occupation.
D
Tribe
These are generally larger than
mobile hunter-gatherer groups,
but rarely
number more than a few thousand, and their diet or
subsistence is based largely on cultivated
plants and
domesticated animals. Typically,
they are settled farmers,
but they may
be nomadic with a very different, mobile economy
based on the intensive exploitation of
livestock. These are
generally multi-munity
societies, with the individual
munities
integrated into the larger society through kinship
ties. Although some tribes have officials and
even a “capital”
or seat of government, such
officials lack the economic base
necessary for
effective use of power.
E
The typical
settlement pattern for tribes is one of settled
agricultural homesteads or villages.
Characteristically, no
one settlement
dominates any of the others in the region.
Instead, the archaeologist finds evidence for
isolated,
permanently occupied houses or for
permanent villages. Such
villages may be made
up of a collection of free-standing houses,
like those of the first farms of the Danube
valley in Europe.
Or they may be clusters of
buildings grouped together, for
example, the
pueblos of the American Southwest, and the early
farming village or small town of ?atalh?yük in
modern Turkey.
F
Chiefdom
These
operate on the principle of ranking—differences in
social status between people. Different
lineages (a lineage
is a group claiming
descent from a common ancestor) are graded
on
a scale of prestige, and the senior lineage, and
hence the
society as a whole, is governed by a
chief. Prestige and rank
are determined by how
closely related one is to the chief, and
there
is no true stratification into classes. The role
of the
chief is crucial.
G
Often,
there is local specialization in craft products,
and
surpluses of these and of foodstuffs are
periodically paid as
obligation to the chief.
He uses these to maintain his
retainers, and
may use them for redistribution to his subjects.
The chiefdom generally has a center of power,
often with
temples, residences of the chief
and his retainers, and craft
specialists.
Chiefdoms vary greatly in size, but the range is
generally between about 5000 and 20,000
persons.
H
Early State
These preserve
many of the features of chiefdoms, but the ruler
(perhaps a king or sometimes a queen) has
explicit authority
to establish laws and also
to enforce them by the use of a
standing army.
Society no longer depends totally upon kin
relationships: it is now stratified into
different classes.
Agricultural workers
and the poorer urban dwellers form the
lowest
classes, with the craft specialists above, and the
priests and kinsfolk of the ruler higher
still. The functions
of the ruler are often
separated from those of the priest:
palace is
distinguished from temple. The society is viewed
as
a territory owned by the ruling lineage and
populated by
tenants who have an obligation to
pay taxes. The central
capital houses a
bureaucratic administration of officials;
one
of their principal purposes is to collect revenue
(often
in the form of taxes and tolls) and
distribute it to government,
army and craft
specialists. Many early states developed
complex redistribution systems to support
these essential
services.
I
This
rather simple social typology, set out by Elman
Service
and elaborated by William Sanders and
Joseph Marino, can be
criticized, and it
should not be used unthinkingly.
Nevertheless,
if we are seeking to talk about early societies,
we must use words and hence concepts to do so.
Service’s
categories provide a good framework
to help organize our
thoughts.

Summary
Completion 7题
文章内容回顾 A
During July 2003,
the Museum of Science in Cambridge,
Massachusetts exhibited what Honda calls 'the
world's most
advanced humanoid robot', AS1MO
(the Advanced Step in
Innovative Mobility).
Honda's brainchild is on tour in North
America
and delighting audiences wherever it goes. After
17
years in the making, ASIMO stands at four
feet tall, weighs
around 115 pounds and looks
like a child in an astronaut's suit.
Though it is difficult to see ASIMO's
face at a distance, on
closer inspection it
has a smile and two large eyes' that
conceal
cameras. The robot cannot work autonomously - its
actions are 'remote controlled' by scientists
through the
computer in its backpack. Yet
watching ASMIO perform at a show
in
Massachusetts it seemed uncannily human. The
audience
cheered as ASIMO walked forwards and
backwards, side to side
and up and downstairs.
After the show, a number of people told
me
that they would like robots to play more of a role
in daily
life - one even said that the robot
would be like 'another
person'.
B
While the Japanese have made huge strides in
solving some of
the engineering problems of
human kinetics (n.动力学) and
bipedal (adj.
两足动物的)movements, for the past 10 years
scientists at MIT's former Artificial
Intelligence (Al) lab
(recently renamed the
Computer Science and Artificial
Intelligence
Laboratory, CSAIL) have been making robots that
can behave like humans and interact with
humans. One of MITs
robots, Kismet, is an
anthropomorphic (adj.拟人的) head and
has two
eyes (complete with eyelids), ears, a mouth, and
eyebrows. It has several facial expressions,
including happy,
sad, frightened and
disgusted. Human interlocutors are able
to
read some of the robot's facial expressions, and
often
change their behavior towards the
machine as a result - for
example, playing
with it when it appears ‘sad’. Kismet is
now
in MIT’s museum, but the ideas developed here
continue
to be explored in new robots.
C
Cog (short for Cognition) is another
pioneering project from
MIT’s former AI lab.
Cog has a head, eyes, two arms, hands
and a
torso (n.躯干) - and its proportions were originally
measured from the body of a researcher in the
lab. The work
on Cog has been used to test
theories of embodiment and
developmental
robotics, particularly getting a robot to
develop intelligence by responding to its
environment via
sensors, and to learn through
these types of interactions.
D
MIT is
getting furthest down the road to creating human-
like
and interactive robots. Some scientists
argue that ASIMO is
a great engineering feat
but not an intelligent machine -
because it is
unable to interact autonomously with
unpredictability in its environment in
meaningful ways, and
learn from experience.
Robots like Cog and Kismet and new
robots at MIT’s CSAIL and media lab,
however, are beginning
to do this.
E
These are exciting developments. Creating a
machine that can
walk, make gestures and learn
from its environment is an
amazing
achievement. And watch this space: these
achievements
are likely rapidly to be improved
upon. Humanoid robots could
have a plethora of
uses in society, helping to free people from
everyday tasks. In japan, for example, there
is an aim to
create robots that can do the
tasks similar to an average human,
and also
act in more sophisticated situations as
firefighters,
astronauts or medical assistants
to the elderly in the
workplace and in homes –
partly in order to counterbalance the
effects
of an ageing population.
F
Such robots say
much about the way in which we view humanity,
and they bring out the best and worst of us.
On one hand, these
developments express human
creativity - our ability to invent,
experiment, and to extend our control over the
world. On the
other hand, the aim to create a
robot like a human being is
spurred on by
dehumanized ideas - by the sense that human
companionship can be substituted by machines;
that humans lose
their humanity when
they interact with technology; or that we
are
little more than surface and ritual behaviors,
that can
be simulated with metal and
electrical circuits.

11月16日雅思口语真题回忆:
Plan
is the hardest part about making plans?
Well, I think the hardest part about
making plans is that
when you make plans, you
have to think in advance about the
what to do
and when to do, and that is very challenging. For
instance, when I made plans for my exams, I
have to decide which
chapters are the most
important and settle on the date to
review
them.
is the latest plan you made?
The latest plan I have made is about my
upcoming graduation
journey, I have planned to
traveled to Russia after my
graduation. I plan
to go to Moscow and some other cities for
around two weeks,where I will meet my friends.
you make plans every day?
No, I do not make plans every day. However, I do
make plans
every week, and every month. For
example, when I was preparing
for my exams
last semester, I made weekly and monthly plans
to help me schedule my timetable.
you good at managing your time?
Well, I would like to admit that although I do
make plans,
I am not good at managing my mes I
also wonder
whether or not it is because I
made too many plans and was lost
in countless
plans which made me unable to manage my time
properly.
Borrowinglending
do you feel when people don’t return things
they
borrowed from you?
I will be
quite annoyed if people don’t return my
belongings after borrowing it from me. The
main reason event
I think they are not honest
and cannot keep their promises.
Also I think I
will be very disappointed because I only
borrowed things to people when I trust them.
you like to lend things to others?
Well, I do not mind lending
things to people but I do not
like that.
Because from my understanding I think it is
people’
s responsibility to buy their own
things and should not always
borrow things
from others. And it is very annoying when I
cannot get my things back after I borrowed
them to others.
you ever borrowed
money from others?
Well, I have
borrowed money from others before. For example,
last summer holiday I borrowed 500 grands from
my father to
buy a pair of shoes, but I
returned them soon after I got my
salary from
my internship. Frankly speaking, I do not borrow
money quite often.
you ever
borrowed books from others?
Yes, I have
borrowed books from others before. From my
memory I had borrowed some books about science
and technology
from one of my friends because
I was very interested in that
subject but do
not have any related books. I think it is a good
way to learn from each other by lending and
borrowing books,
and it is also very
convenient.
Visit relatives
was the last time you visited a relative?
From my memory, I think it was during last
winter holiday
that I visited my relative.
Last winter holiday, I went back
to my
hometown in Sichuan, and spent 40 days with my
family
and the Chinese New Year, I also paid
a visit
to one of my relatives.
you often visit your relatives?
Well,
not really. Living in modern cities, people tend
to
be separated from their relatives, and I am
no exception. On
average, I only visit my
relatives two times a year, often
during the
Chinese New Year and the Tomb SweepingFestival.
do people visit their relatives?
Personally speaking, I reckon that people
visit their
relatives in order to
cultivate their kinships with them. You
know,
after all we share the same blood with relatives,
and
sometimes we need to strengthen our
relationships with them
and keep a relatively
strong connection with them.
do you do
when visiting relatives?
When I visit my
relatives, one of the most popular
activities
is to play cards with them. Playing cards is a
highly popular and entertaining activity in
China, and it is
also a nice day to strengthen
friendships with your friends.
During my visit
to relatives, we usually play cards all day
along.

参考范文
Environmental issues have
long become a public concern as
they lead to
ecological imbalance and extinction of species.
There arises a debate on who should bear the
expense of
cleaning up the pollution.
Personally, I think companies and
individuals
should be responsible instead of the government.
Apparently, less pollution will be
produced and a better
living environment will
be created if companies and
individuals bear
the cost of cleaning up. Environmental issues
can not be solved without the engagement of
individuals, while
knowing it is themselves
that should pay for the clean-up,
companies
and individuals will hold themselves responsible
for reducing pollution in daily activities.
Pollution can be
possibly reduced and
controlled by individuals using fewer
plastic
products and disposable products or simply driving
less. Further, companies will also choose
office facilities
that are environmentally-
friendly than those are not, by which,
the
cost of environmental clean-up can be cut down. As
a result,
such little things can, in
the long run, make a big difference.
By
contrast, if the government funds such environment
improvement, companies and individuals may not
do such things
that voluntarily.
Moreover, environmental pollution will be dealt
with in
a more efficient way by companies and
individuals covering the
cost. In terms of the
government budget, compared with
education and
medicine, money that can be spared on dealing
with environment problems is rather limited.
In addition,
environment problem is not the
top interest of the taxpayers
and some are
reluctant to pay for the pollution caused by
irresponsible companies or individuals that
lack a
environmental awareness. As a result,
some environmental
problems are delayed to
solve. However, the money spared by
a single
individual may seem little, but when added up, the
money can be huge. With funds, environmental
pollution can be
solved much more efficiently.
In conclusion, it is companies and
individuals that should
bear the cost of
environmental clean-up, by which pollution
will be effectively reduced and controlled at
last.
