雅思写作：环境类真题及范文
智课网IELTS备考资料雅思写作：环境类真题及范文摘要：雅思写作真题及高分范文Some people think that environmentalproblems are too big for individuals to deal with. Others, however, think that each individual should take some actions. Discuss both views and give your own opinion。
考题分析：本题是一道典型的雅思环境类写作考题。
在历届雅思写作环境类话题中，出题思路主要有以下三个方面：1.环境保护是谁的责任？考题给出的选项通常会有个人、公司、国家、国际合作等(例如04年5月15日，07年2月3日考题)。
2.如何保护环境？考题通常会给出某个方案问其正确与否(如06年6月17日，08年6月14日考题)。
3.为什么人们明知环境正在被破坏却无动于衷例？(如08年9月13日A类议论文)如果考前对以上三方面的雅思写作真题都思考过，相信本题一定会变的很简单，实际上只要把一些理由进行组合就可以了。
由于考题的提问形式是“Discuss both views and give your own opinion. ”所以，既要讨论到个人能够采取何种行动解决一些环境问题，也要讨论为什么有些环境问题个人无法解决(即只有政府或公司才能解决)。
Sample Answer (274words)：It is true that our tiny individual actions often seem insignificantcompared to the scale and complexity of global environmental problems such as pollution, deforestation and depletion of natural resources. But that does not relieve our duty as individuals to do as much as we can to deal with these problems。
