T opic: The fight against air pollution

[Problem]

The region has been seriously polluted by harmful smog, which proves to be the cause of many illnesses and for the climbing death rate. As a result, people have started to move out of the area.

[Response]

In response to the problem, the local government has decided to fight against air pollution. It has closed down several factories, which were considered to be the major cause of the pollution. Many power plants have been modernized to give off less pollution and also moved further away from people’s homes so as to decrease the damage. At the same time, the local government has decided to plant trees in and around the region because trees can absorb some of the pollution. [Evaluation]

Love Without Bounds

At 2:28 p.m., May 12th, 2008, a severe earthquake with a magnitude of 8.0 on the Richter scale struck Wenchuan, an area of Sichuan, leaving the place with ruins everywhere. As an

immediate result of that, around 69,000 people died, with another 18,000 missing, over 370,000 injured, and 5,000,000 survivors h omeless. Accompanying the arrival of disaster was a sheer paralysis of electricity, water works, telecommunications and transportation. Usually accessible to tourism for its scenic beauty, the area was now completely secluded from the outside world. (Problem)

Faced with such a devastating disaster, the Chinese Communists held China together with their role models, and called upon the whole nation to go in for relief work. PLA men responded to the call in no time. Army troops raced against the clock to the rescue of the victims buried in ruins, no matter how difficult the epicenter was of access; the engineering troops rushed to repair the ruined highways, ignoring the fact that they were at high risk of their lives amid aftershocks; and the air forces landed from the air despite poor visibility, and dropped relief supplies for the victims. Besides, medical workers from different parts of the country and the world flocked to the epicenter in good time to offer first aid to the injured and the sick. Unable to go there in person, most of us were in charge of rear services, for which some made tents, medicine, food, etc. day and night, and every one of us vied with one another to donate money and blood. In fact, effecting the rescue of the victims who remain as firm and appreciate our efforts as much as those in Sichuan do has refined our love more than anything else ever could have. (Response) With the disaster relief drive being in full swing and with the live reports on it dominating the headlines of all mass media, we were reminded that sweeping across the entire China was an ever-greater flow of love that could get our nation through whatever life could present. There would be no bounds to what such love could accomplish. (Evaluation)
