Low-Carbon Living
With increasing consciousness of environmental protection, many people around the world have embraced a green lifestyle—low-carbon living. 1 It is believed that if people consume less resources, the living conditions will be better.
The emergence of this trend is mainly due to the worsening environ-ment on the earth. 2 Human beings are exhausting energy resources and emitting greenhouse gases, which changed our climate and led to a chain of terrible consequences. Therefore, people should live a low-carbon life to protect our earth. 3
How do we realize it? 4 In the first place 5 , the government should limit cars because car exhaust contributes to air pollution and citizens should be encouraged to take public transportation. Besides 5 , people had better not use disposable plastic bags but the ones that can be reused. Moreover 5 , we should try our best to save energy in our daily life—switch off the lights the moment we leave a room, turn off the tap in time, and reuse textbooks and so on.
低碳生活
隨著人們環(huán)保意識(shí)的不斷增強(qiáng)，世界上有很多人擁抱了一種綠色的生活方式——低碳生活。人們相信，如果消耗的資源少一些，生活環(huán)境就會(huì)好一些。
這種趨勢(shì)的出現(xiàn)主要是由于地球環(huán)境趨于惡化。人類(lèi)消耗能源，排放溫室氣體，而這些行為改變了地球氣候并導(dǎo)致了一系列嚴(yán)重的后果。因此，人們應(yīng)當(dāng)過(guò)低碳生活以保護(hù)地球。
如何做到低碳生活呢? 首先，政府應(yīng)當(dāng)限制汽車(chē)數(shù)量，因?yàn)槠?chē)尾氣加重了空氣污染，同時(shí)，應(yīng)鼓勵(lì)市民乘坐公共交通工具出行。另外，人們最好不要使用一次性塑料袋，而應(yīng)該使用可重復(fù)利用的袋子。再者，我們應(yīng)該在日常生活中盡最大的努力節(jié)約能源：在離開(kāi)房間時(shí)關(guān)燈，及時(shí)關(guān)水龍頭，重復(fù)利用課本等。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 點(diǎn)出世界上很多人擁抱低碳的生活方式。
2. 段首句緊扣提綱，點(diǎn)出低碳生活趨勢(shì)出現(xiàn)的原因。
3. 段尾句做出小結(jié)，與段首句前后呼應(yīng)。
4. 以問(wèn)句的形式開(kāi)頭，增強(qiáng)了語(yǔ)氣，同時(shí)體現(xiàn)了語(yǔ)言的多樣性。
5. 從三個(gè)方面闡述政府和個(gè)人應(yīng)該做出的努力。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. Human beings are exhausting energy resources and emitting greenhouse gases, which changed our climate and led to a chain of terrible consequences.
本句中which引導(dǎo)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，修飾前面的整個(gè)主句，指出人們消耗能源、排放溫室氣體所造成的后果。
2. Moreover, we should try our best to save energy in our daily life—switch off the lights the moment we leave a room, turn off the tap in time, and reuse textbooks and so on.
用moreover引出第三層面的建議，接著具體舉出了三個(gè)日常生活中常見(jiàn)的例子來(lái)加以說(shuō)明，破折號(hào)起到解釋說(shuō)明的作用。
