环境保护和经济发展哪个应该处首位的英文辩论.doc

Which should receive priority in China? Environmental protection or economic growth.正方陈词： I think its economic growth should be chosen. I have three reasons to prove this point. First, as a developing country, the economy power is far behind the developed counties, China have one fifth of the people in the world, but the income of per head is only in 109th among countries. so the urgent affairs of china is developing our economy. Second, economy growth does not necessarily conflict with environment protection. we can develop our economy without environment pollution .Third, when our economy strength become strong ,we can spend more money and energy on environment protection,till then it will be a win-win. In a word, considering the current situations, economy growth should take priority in China.反方陈词：We agree economic growth is needed.But think about the past decades,we followed the old model of “first pollution,last treatment”, however, how did it come out? The environment problems have become increasingly prominent(显著的), and some local regions environment have been polluted to a dangerous extent that poses a great threat to our existence.Whats more , the cost was too high and the effect was not up to much by this means, it placed us in a completely dangerous position. At the same time the people started voicing new values: quality of life, urban conservation and the environment.So,we must get to the bottom of the problem and learn from the past ,that is to say, in the course of development, we should consider the effect of pollution and receive environment protection in first priority.

The overcrowded living areas, the foul air, the impure water, the unbearable noise and rush hour traffic, all these things have affected the quality of life. We have money, but being under the sub health condition.Does it make any sense, opponent debaters?正方：There do exist some eastern cities whose economy is quite developed, but you forget that China has 130 billion people. And In most place the economy is quite backward, the eastern cities cant support all need of Chinese people. We know that environment protection need high-technology,and it all need a lot of money,and money is created by economy. I want ask my fellow debater that can we protect our environment well without strong economy strength?反方：Sorry,I am afraid the key point that we debate is the right of priority. Environmental protection first does not totally mean ignorating Economy development.Environmental protection needs economy . But we cant sacrifice the environment for the economic growth . If you drink polluted water , can we have a high quality of life ? Economic development must be on the foundation of environmental protection . The policy of “returning farmland to forests and grass” slow down the speed of economic development to protect the environment. Does not it show that the environmental protection is more important?正方：Opponent debaters have referred the returning farmland to forest policy.we admit our country has pay a lot of money for the environment even sacrificing the profit .but we hold the idea that the ep is an appro. to ensure our economic develop better.
