　　【参考范文】 
　　It is well known that the world we live in is getting worse because of the increasing environmental destruction. 
　　As we can see, rivers are polluted by waste dumpted in them from factories and cities. It's wrong to develop economy at the price of environmental damage. Instead, people should first realize the importance of environmental protection. Besides, factories should be banned from discharging enormous harmful chemicals into rivers without doing anything. 
　　As with water pollution, air pollution is also a problem threatening the existence of mankind with more carbon dioxide added into the atmosphere. It would be better if people drive less and encourage others to do so. 
　　With the environmental awareness strengthened and effective measures taken, we will surely achieve sustainable development. 
　　【点评】 
　　这是一篇半开放式的习作。从审题的角度看，要结合图片呈现的现象进行分析并提出合理建议。因此，图片的信息呈现非常重要，这是审题的关键。这篇习作很好地把握了这一点，开篇就点出了第一幅图片所呈现的"water pollution"这一问题，就此问题做了合理分析，并提出了合理建议。接下来，习作第三段呈现了第二幅图片所呈现的"air pollution"这一问题，就此问题做了合理分析，并提出了合理建议。最后，习作做了总结，提出了"achieve sustainable development"的想法，起到了深化主题的作用。在语言上，这篇习作亦可圈可点。过度用语的使用，如"As we can see""As with ...""first""Besides"，让文章整体连贯，通顺流畅。高级句型和结构的使用，如"It would be better if people ...""With the environmental awareness strengthened"，让文章增色不少。因此，这是一篇优秀的习作。
