similartrend We caneasily drawa conclusionthat thesharp declineof wildlifespecies resultedfrom thepopulation growth As humanpopulation increases the speciesof wildlifedecline and someare evenon thebrink ofextinction We maycite avariety ofreasons for this situation But the most contributingone ishuman being s weaksense of wildlife protectionwhich leadsto thedecrease ofwildlife as a result of casesof illegalhunting andkilling ofwildlife forprofits Besides the destructionof ecologicalenvironment alsoplays apushing role Less andless forestand pasturecoverage withmore and more soilerosion dueto populationproblem makeit evenmore difficultfor thewildlife tosurvive Hence unfortunately butnaturally asoaring number of humanpopulation esin tandemwith adescending varietyofwildlife Ecological environmentconstruction andprotection isa pressingand long term task To tacklethe problemcalls for above all the government s effortsto controlpopulation growthand toenhance thelaws toforbid wildlifehunting Moreover mon citizensshould takepractical actionsto protectwild animalsas wellas our living environment Passage2As we can seefrom the two pictures great changeshave takenplace in the worldmercial fishing In1990there wasonly oneship in the searich infish while in1995 with the increasing number of fishingships only one fish couldbe foundin the ocean crowdedwith ships Obviously the ever deveolping fishingindustry hada devastatingeffect on the fishingresource The purposeof thedrawer is to warnpeople that we shouldspare noefforts inprotecting theresources in the seaby wellmanaging thedevelopment of the fishingindustry This kind of profit oriented fishingcan onlybring about the ecologicalunbalance In addition profit pursuing makespeople exploitother kinds of natural resources unlimitedlyand blindlywithout consideringthe potentialdamage thatcan bedone tonature andmore important to human beings It is known to all thateffective measuresshould betaken todeal with the problemsof overexploitation ofour natural resources For ohing laws should be enforcedand observedto keepthe balanceof natureby controllingmercial fishing For another people should be educatedto realizethe valueof theseresources Only in this way can this problem beproperly solved Passage3As isshown in the pictures with therampancy ofmercial fishing the number of fishdramatically sharply decreased From the pictures we can see that there were variouskindsoffish andonly one fishing boat in1900 On thecontrary in1995there wasonly onefish with manyfishing boats The purposeof thispicture is to showus thatdue great enough attention hasto bepaid to the declineof ocean resources Owing toover fishing the numberoffish hasobviously dropped If welet thissituation continueas it is we donot knowwhere fishwill bein the future By thattime our environment will suffera greatdestruction Therefore it isimperative for us totake drasticmeasures For ohing we shouldappeal toour authoritiesto makestrict lawsto controlmercial fishing For another we shouldenhance theawareness ofpeople that the ocean resources are very vital to us Only inthis waycan weprotect ouroceanresources Also I believe thatwe humanscan overethis difficulty and we will have a brighterfuture Passage4A BriefHistory ofWorld CommercialFishing This picture showsa drastihange in the world s mercial fishing The twoparts displaytotally differentscenes in1900and1995 In1900 there werea largenumberoffish while only oneboat wasfishing on the ocean But in1995fishing boatsincreased sharplywhile only onefishwas left The fishsupplies havealmost beenexhausted byover fishing Judging fromthe picture we can seethatwithin about100years humans havestripped thesea ofher generousofferings If we don t putan endto thetrend then the fish in the oceancould bee extinct speciesin theforeseeable future Therefore it ishigh timewe tookeffective measuresto solvethis problem First we mustbring worldpopulation undera reasonablecontrol as overfishing islargely dueto the need tofill theadditional mouths Second every yearin thefish s matingseason a grace period should beenforced duringwhich thefish areallowed toreproduce themselves Third strict lawsshould beimplemented Last butnot least we shouldenhance theawareness of the publicthat theoceanresourcesareveryvitalto us Only whenthese above mentioned measures are putinto practicecan wesave thefish fromdisappearing pletely Passage5The picture a briefhistory ofmercial fishing shows usthat therehave beenless andless fishin theocean forthe lastcentury The twoparts thatprise the picture displaytotally differentscenes in1900and1995 In1900therewerea largenumberoffish whileonlyoneboat wasfishing on theocean But in1995fishing boatsincreased sharplywhileonlyonefishwas left We can t helpasking ourselvesa disturbingquestion will therebe aday whenno fishare forour descendants It ismost obvious that thedrawer means to alertus to the diminishingfishery resourcesbecause ofexcessive globalmercialfishing If nomeasuresaretaken toensure themoderate explorationand reasonabledisposition ofnaturalresources a destructiveecological disastermay notbe faraway and the nextvictim willprobably beman himself Therefore it ishigh timewe tookeffective measuresto solvethis problem The essentialsolution in myopinion is tobine fishingwith raisingand protectingthefish In addition people s awarenessof protectingnaturalresourcesmust beheightened througheducation andpublicity In aword we cannever solvethe problemuntil allof ustake actionsto protectfishery resources Passage6As can be seenfrom thisvivid picture like alight love means much more to thosein greatdifficulty thanto thosein forts Love as illustratedin the picture is justthe oillamp which certainly shines brighter in the dark In otherwords the darkerthe placeis the moreprecious thelight will be Love issomewhat thesame it ismost neededby those who arein urgentneed ofhelp andconsidered mostprecious inmost difficultsituations Therefore as peopleliving in the modernsociety we allshould contributeour love to those people I canexemplify this conclusion with the PovertyAlleviation Project It isknown to all that the Chinesegovernment hasbeen callingfor peopleparticipate in the project Obviously the expressionof lovecan bebest demonstratedby helpingthe poorin somebackward regions Therefore many collegestudents chooseto work in theseregions upongraduation It is in theseplaces that they aremost neededand theirknowledge can be madebest useof The best way to show ourlove in myopinion is tofollow theabovementionedexample giving love to the people duringthe hoursof darkness So whenyou seesomeone indifficulty orin distress don t hesitateto offeryour hands I believethe relationshipbetween people will bemore harmoniousand oursociety will be abetter place forus to livein Let s doas afamous saying goes Ask not what others can do for you ask whatyou cando

but itcertainlyshinesbrighterinthedark In otherwords the darkerthe placeis the moreprecious thelight will be Love issomewhat thesame It surelymeansmuchmoreto the manwho isin greatdifficulty thanto the one whoisinforts To illustratethisconclusion I willtake TaoXingzhi one of the greatesteducators inChina for an example He was a manwho gaveloveto thosewhoneeded most In theold daysquite a lot ofchildren whowere eagerto goto schoolcould notafford todo so On seeingthat Mr Tao gaveup thefortable life inthebig cityand setup a school especiallyfor thosepoor children Though most of thesechildren onlystudied inhis schoolfor ashort period the thingsthey learnedthere alreadychanged theirlife Many yearsafter Tao s death they stillbore in mind thiskindness andsang highlyfor hiscontribution toChinese education The best way to show ourlove in myopinion is tofollow Mr Tao s exampleto giveloveto themostneeded people There isa needfor loveeverywhere So it is easyto showlove bypassing aglass ofwater toa thirstypeople giving anickel toa miserablebeggar donating somethingtothe victims innatural disastersand givingyour handsto anyone in trouble As longas wekeep aplaceforlovein our heart love

addedoriental charmto her beautiful look appearance features What the picture conveysgoes farbeyond onlya new fashion trend Instead it carriescultural meanings The fact that people from different countries areattracted tomysterious Chinese culture indicatesthat tosome extenta culture canbe aepted respected appreciated andshared internationally In otherwords a nation s uniqueculturecan bee international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges Since thetrend ofglobalization beeirresistible cultural municationcan effectivelyimprove mutualunderstanding andfriendship In myopinion From myperspective national culturesas priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished Meanwhile there aregood reasonsto advocateinternational culturefor thoseideas fromthe othercultures controversial oreven absurdat firstsight can providea differentperspective forus toobserve the world inthe longrun However when we are confrontedwith a different culture we should be sensibleenough toabsorb itsessence and to resistits darkside Only inthis waycan wepromote culturaldevelopment positivelyand make our worlddimensional colorful andvigorous Passage9At firstsight of
