发展与环境

　　参考范文：

　　As is vividly betrayed in the drawing above, people are striving for the tremendous increase of GDP （gross domestic product） at the cost of our environment. The blue sky is being severely polluted and human life is being threatened, which is most thought-provoking and worth discussing among the general public for the time being.

　　The main purpose of the painter of the drawing above can be briefly stated as follows. To begin with, it is high time that we realized the fact that our living environment and some natural resources are being destroyed in the blind pursue of GDP increase. At present, the ecology of our planet can hardly support the continuous expansion of heavy-polluting, high-consuming and low-profit production pattern. What‘s more, it is quite necessary that we have an objective understanding of the relationship between GDP increase and the ecological environment. The GDP increase which is achieved at the cost of sacrificing human living environment and destroying our valuable natural resources （some of the resources are not renewable） is meaningless at all. In sum, the blind craze for GDP increase must be stopped.

　　In my view, counter-measures should be taken to reverse the grim situation. On the one hand, relevant laws and regulations must be set up by government to ensure a rational balance between GDP increase and our living environment. On the other hand, a public education campaign should be launched to make people have a good knowledge of green GDP. Only in these ways can we have a sustainable development and a harmonious society.
