Economic Development and Environmental Protection
1.有人認為經濟發展先於環境保護;
2.有人環境保護先於經濟發展;
3.我的看法。
[範文]
There are some individuals who argue that, compared to the environment protection, the top priority is supposed to given to economic development. They deem that environmental problems are inevitable and unavoidable in the process of economic development. They are only the by products of economic development, which can be handled later when we have the time and money.
However, other individuals hold different opinions that（或者：other holders of the opposite opinions argue that ） environment protection should be attached more importance than economic development in that present serious environmental problems will threaten the health of the residents and hinder the advance of the economy.
As far as I am concerned, environmental protection and economic development can coexist in parallel and can stay in harmony. Our ultimate aim in economic development is to provide a comfortable and happy life for our people. What is the point of economic development if we achieve it at the cost of our environment? There has been much evidence to prove that a balance between the two helps more rapid and continuous development of the society.
有些人認為，與環境保護相比，經濟發展應該是重中之重。他們認為，在經濟發展的過程中，環境問題是不可避免的。它們只是經濟發展的產物，等我們有了時間和錢以後再去處理。
但也有不同的觀點認為，（其他持相反意見的人則認為）環境保護要比經濟發展更重要，因為目前嚴重的環境問題會威脅居民的健康，阻礙經濟的發展。
就我而言，環境保護和經濟發展可以並存，也可以和諧相處。我們發展經濟的最終目的是為我們的人民提供舒適和幸福的生活。如果我們以環境為代價來實現經濟發展，那麼經濟發展的意義何在？有許多證據表明，兩者之間的平衡有助於社會的更迅速和持續發展。
