雅思写作真题：国际社区是否应该减少能源的消耗

International communityshould act immediately to reduce all countries consumption of fuels such as gasand oil. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Forcenturies, human society has been blessed with（遇见好事的时候可以使用，可以翻译成迎来了） the exploitationof fossil fuels like gas and oil as industrial production has been unprecedentedlyadvancing（快速发展）. However, gradually, people become aware that the blessing couldturn out to be a curse since the consequent pollution has beenseriously endangering human beings’ existence. Personally, I am convinced thatreduction of fossil fuel consumption should be promoted at once and enforcedall around the world.

Theachievement of oil economy in many parts of the world is alluring so that somecountries can hardly give up the consumption of fossil fuels. They harbor theview that fossil fuels are still in abundance, and the relatedfacilities and techniques for obtaining and processing the resource are sodeveloped that the cost of producing energy is at a historically low level. Forthese reasons, countries relying heavily on oil economy tend to be particularlyresistant towards the idea of giving up the source of energy immediately.

However,these viewscould hardly be justified. Firstly, the economic benefits are quitelikely to be offset（抵消） by the huge cost of improving the environmental pollution. Burningoil, for instance, may be economical currently but the governments’ efforts onreducing subsequent pollutants could entail more spending in the long term. Furthermore,the air pollution and the consequent climate change are the threats to beconfronted by all human beings. In other words, in the face of deteriorating environment, theeconomic progress some countries achieved may lose its charm.

Inconclusion, for the benefits of the whole world, international community should collaborateto reduce all countries’ consumption of fossil fuels without any delay. Only in this waycould the sustainable development of our common home be（倒装结构） realized not only for ourselves, but also for ouroffspring.
