题目

Some people think that companies and individuals, rather than the vernment, should pay for cleaning up pollution.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

题目翻译

有些人认为公司和个人，而非政府，应该为清理污染买单。

从某种程度上来说，你同意还是不同意？

写作指导

1. 注意时态，不要出现过去时（除非举过去的例子）

2. 重复2009年7月11日原题，可以说非常非常“老”的一道题了。Anyway，高频话题—环境类，难度系数不大。

推荐立场：考生们在写作时可以按照自己的倾向选择同意或者不同意。同意的话可以认为个人和公司支付污染清理的费用的好处；不同意的话，可以持有的观点有两种可能性：一个是政府支付污染清理的费用；也可以认为是除了个人和公司以外，政府也需要支付污染清理的费用。本文中，笔者以个人和公司需要承担支付污染清理费用的观点来进行陈述。

推荐思路：四段式

Opening: 背景介绍，表达观点

Body1: 个人和公司为污染治理买单，这样能够有效地*环*意识，勇于承担环境责任，从而减少污染排放。而且个人和公司为污染治理买单，从经济上来增加人和公司的成本，更有震慑力，从而减少污染物的排放。

Body2: 当然，政府为污染治理买单也是有合理之处的，一些大的、跨地区的污染清理的项目，还是很需要政府来投资的。但是，需要政府买单的项目太多了（例如交通、医疗、教育等），这样会从一定程度上增加纳税人的财政压力。

Conclusion: 重申立场，总结观点，做适当展望

写作范文

Topics of contamination never fail to arouse people’s attention. It is advocated that companies and ordinary individuals spend money cleaning up contaminants, rather than vernments. I definitely agree with this opinion.

On the one hand, the bill of cleaning up pollution needs to be shared by companies and individuals. It is because paying for the clean-up serves as a deterrent power for them. Bearing the financial pressure, corporations – regardless of their size and scale – and ordinary individuals may better recognize the importance of preserving the environment. Although people claim that reducing the damage to the environment is of great significance, they still attach greater importance to economic growth, resulting from soaring production which definitely breeds increasing pollutions – not only from production but also from usage and discard.

On the other hand, I have to admit that the wealth from vernments is a boon for decontamination. Compared with enterprises and individuals, which tend to put their emphasis on pollution in the doorway or in the immediate future, vernments are inclined to consider with a macro-scope and in the long term. However, the construction of infrastructure, like education, transport as well as sanitation resources, needs the financial aid from vernments more avidly than environmental clean-up. Furthermore, suggestions that vernments are obligated to pay the bill will intensify tax-payers’ financial pressure, which is definitely not welcome for people.

Considering the urgency of establishing other infrastructure as well as the possibility of enterprises and ordinary residents to pay the bill of clean-up, I tend to believe that companies and individuals, instead of authorities, should pay for cleaning up pollution.
