【點評】

這是一篇結合中文提綱展開的議論文。

作者圍繞提綱提示的主題思想分三個部分展開。第一段用因果法說明保持城市清潔的重要性。第二段用However進行轉折，提出保持城市清潔不是一件容易的事，它與城市經濟、政府政策和市民素質密切相關。在第三段，作者用In order to keep the city clean進行過渡，接著列舉了政府為保持城市清潔所做的大量工作。最後一句We can expect a clean and beautiful city as long as all of us do what we should under the leadership of the government.是對全文的總結。

本文主題突出，層次分明。文筆簡約，用詞準確。各式從句的靈活運用，為文章增色不少。
