我在原篇的基础上做了修改,多提提意见吧。谢谢
41 Some people think that human needs for farmland, housing, and industry are more important than saving land for endangered animals. Do you agree or disagree with this point of view? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
There is a public discussion concerning whether the demands of human for farmland, housing, and industry are more essential than saving land for animals being at the edge of extinction. Factually, an increasing number of people argue against using land for human purposes considering a great deal of endangered animals. However, contrary to this opinion, I strongly agree that using land for farming, housing, as well as industrialization has made lots of people far from starvation and improved individuals’ living condition, even though there may be one or two advantage of saving land for threatened animals.
To begin with, a large amount of farmland guarantees the adequate supply of food. It is true that most people in the earth are suffering from starvation, poverty and so forth, which has beset and obsessed their governments over times. In order to resolving this problem, we have to raise a great deal of crops. While the precondition of great yields is applying more land to farm. For example, although the population of China is the largest in the world, the effect made by starvation on civilians is not serious. This result is contributed to sufficient farmland in China. Hence, there is no denying that human beings have reaped numerous benefits from using land for farming.
Secondly, utilizing land to build houses and develop industry can benefit people from establishing entertainment facilities and increasing residents’ incomes. Individuals can feel relaxed when wandering in city parks, watching brilliant films and appreciating melodic concerts. And using land for human habitats indeed provide certain numbers of houses, which can relieve the peoples’ anxiety of that. It is also conducive to improving mental health of citizens. Moreover, with the advance of industrialization, there can be an increasing number of job opportunities for people who have more chances to earn more money. In turn, the rise of consuming capacity also enhances taxes of a government which can improve human living conditions. In sum, the society has made an excellent progress by virtue of using land for houseing and industry.
Finally, it is admitted that some positive aspects of saving land for endangered animals are manifest. The diversity of species plays a vital role in ecological balance. With using land for human purposes, the food chain of species including human beings might be destructed by our own behaviors. From the long-term view, saving lands might decrease the rate of human development, but it is helpful to our decedents' development. For instance, most of countries establish environment preserving areas by banning all types of industrial usage. This illustrates the importance of saving land for the further development of mankind.
Numerous although the favorable points that saving land leads to are, they cannot compete with the benefits that using land for human development brings about, if resolving Food issue and providing more convenience to people is taken to consideration. In sum, I surely maintain that using land for farmland, housing and industry is a reasonable choice. |
