范文 (One possible version)

Hello, everyone,

Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.

Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.

As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.

The large number of our population has become one of the most serious problems of our society. according to a recent survey of the national bureau of statistics, there are more than 1.3 billion people in our country, which account for about 1/5 of all the people in the world. the same survey also predicts that our population will grow quickly in the years to come.

overpopulation has brought about a series of negative effects to our economic development and social security. in the first place, too many people impose a heavy burden on our environment. as a result, we suffer from a shortage of fresh water and natural resources. in the second place, as the supply of labor greatly exceeds the demand of the society, many people become employed. this is a source of social unrest. last but not least, we have to manufacture all kinds of products to meet the needs of the people, which causes environment pollution to our lakes and land.

serious though the problem seems, we have to take some measures to tackle it. on the one hand, the government should carry out more strictly the policy of family planning, thus reducing the total number of population. on the other hand, all the people should realize the harms of overpopulation. with the concerted efforts of all the parties concerned, we’re sure to solve the problem in the future.

More than half of Beijings adult single children dont intend to have two kids, even though national policy allows them to do so.

The countrys family planning policy of the late 1970s restricted urban families from having more than one child to control population growth.

However, a new survey by the Beijing Administrative Institute shows 52 percent of those now-grown-up single children, who are allowed two offspring, do not want a second child.

Many cited economic pressures as a factor.

The results were released on Sunday at the Beijing Forum, organized by Peking University.

Beijing has roughly 2 million only-child adults.

More than 1,100 people from only-child families, aging 20 to 34, were polled.

Only 24 percent of respondents said they would like to have two children.

More than a quarter of respondents would opt for a "DINK" (double income, no kids) lifestyle.

Survey figures showed that respondents with a primary education wanted 1.1 children on average, those with a bachelor degree wanted 1.3, and those with masters or higher degrees wanted 1.5 children.

"Beijing has maintained a super low birth rate - less than 1.3 children in a family in average - for nearly 20 years, posing increasing pressure on the countrys aging population," Hou Yafei, a professor with the institute, said.

Hou said that the top four factors that determined peoples intentions to have children were "income, child care, housing and policy conditions".

"The government should encourage couples from one-child families to have a second child and should provide better welfare services."

This would promote population sustainability, Hou said.

The survey also found that people with higher education backgrounds intend to have more children because they are more confident with their financial security.

how to solve the energy shortage（如何解决能源短缺问题）

energy shortage is a very serious problem in the world. many people worry that energy resources on the earth will be exhausted if we use them in an unchecked way. this, most people agree, will cause serious problems and even crisis and jeopardize the survival of mankind .

on the one hand, most people agree that the problem can be solved in one way or another. one is to conserve and save our energy. energy refers not only to coal, oil, or natural gases but also to goods, land and water, etc. most countries have realized the wastefulness in their using of energy. they are trying to conserve energy. for example, some countries have a daylight saving system to use less electricity for lighting. some cities have enforced water savers at public such as restrooms and bars. some have enforced serious penalties on overuse of electricity, water, and farming land. by these means, people hope the drain on energy resources could be slowed down.

however, conservation alone cannot solve the problem. another way, perhaps the best i think,, is to develop new energy resources. obviously, no matter how hard we try to save energy resources and how abundant they are, we will use them up sooner or later. i think there are many energy resources that we can develop and utilize. we don’t have to depend only on the current conventional energy resources. there are many other energy resources that we can develop such as nuclear power, waterpower and solar power. these resources, if developed, can completely replace the conventional energy and thus solve the problem of energy shortage.

What Can We Do for the Environment

our environment is becoming worse and worse，what can we do for the environment?I think each of us can do a little bit to help with this problem。

The first thing we can do is to use cloth bags instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. It helps to protect the environment. The second thing we can do is to reuse the old textbooks as possible as we can. We should also never forget to turn off the lights when we leave the classrooms in order to save energy. Whats more，it would be better if we walk or ride a bike to school. We should try our best to reduce pollution and waste。

In fact，even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.

人口问题(The Problems of Large Population)

It is reported that the world’s population was 6 billion in the year 2,000, and it is growing faster and faster. The world’s population problem is the greatest one because it brings lots of problems, such as water resources problem, more and more people losing their jobs and so on. These problems are mainly in the developing countries because the population of the developing countries is over 4/ 5 of the world’s popuation. So China, the largest developing country, has kept the policy one couple, one child.

Nowadays,with the rapid increase of population,the problems of overloading in cities is becoming more and more serious around the world.

For instance,the resources such as education,jobs,health care that a city can supply is limited.So more populations mean that everyone living in the city have less welfare.In addition,the phenomenon of pollution can also be aggravating.And the traffic jams will disturb drives frequently.

In order to deal with the problems caused by overloading,in my opinion,Lowering the birth rate is the essential methods.On the other hand,another way which is executable to reduce the pressure of population in cities is to move people from cities to suburban areas.Of course,this need the help of governments.

In a nutshell,it is time for us to make efforts to control the population timely.

st On January 2016, our country started to carry out two-child policy. It is good

and right for the development of our country now, because our country need more young workers. Many parents also want to have one more child. Althouth they may have some difficulties in affording another child’s life, education and so on, they will have another child to be with them. As for me, the only child in my family, I want to have a sister or a brother. Not only can we share happiness, but also we can help each other in our daily life.

2016年1月,我国开始实施的二胎政策。它是好的

现在对我们国家的发展,因为我们的国家需要更多的年轻工人。许多家长也想要一个孩子。虽然他们可能有困难提供另一个孩子的生活,教育等等,他们会有另一个孩子。至于我,我家里唯一的孩子,我想有一个姐姐或者哥哥。不仅我们能分享快乐,而且在我们的日常生活中我们可以互相帮助。

：

很久很久以前，有一个王国，民殷国富，人们快乐的生活着。可从那一天开始，一切都改变了……

那一天，阳光明媚。国王在黄盖的阴影下，挺着圆滚滚的肚子，慢吞吞地走着。

突然，一个道士挡住了国王的路。锦衣卫立马出动，“嚓、嚓、嚓”宝剑统统出鞘。

“呵呵，政通人和、百废具兴，真是繁荣兴盛啊。只是……可惜，可惜啊……”道士捋着胡须说道。

因为国王是个信道的人，一听“可惜”二字就慌了神。

“把剑统统给我放下!”国王命令锦衣卫。

“道……道长，您可惜什么?”国王小心翼翼地问。

“可惜?我可惜这个国家的人口太少，太冷清，无法将此国内的鬼怪逼走。”

“如果，如果以后一起这样，我的国家会变成什么样子?”国王的嘴唇开始颤抖。

“你的国家会变成孤魂野鬼的领地!”道士有力地说出。

国王“蹭”的一下坐到了地上，他的额头密密麻麻地聚满了汗珠。

“那，那有什么办法吗?”

“办法就是增加人口数量。”

“好，好，我明白了。”

“来人啊，行，行赏。”国王赐给道士许多金银财宝。

国王回到了宫中，“变成孤魂野鬼的领地”“你的国家会变成孤魂野鬼的领地!”国王的耳旁一直回荡着这句话，“嘭”国王一拍桌子，响亮的说：“我的国家一定要有很多人，很多人，哈哈哈哈!”

在客栈的高等客房里，道士数着金银财宝，说：“哈哈哈哈，今天可是赚翻了，没想到，这么富有的国家竟会有个这么愚蠢的国王，连这种鬼话都信。真是服啊!哈哈!”

第二天。

皇榜前，聚集着很多人。

“唉，他们看什么呢?”

“管他呢，走，咱也过去看看。”

越来越多的人涌向皇榜。有个人惊讶地将皇榜上的字读了出来：“奉天乘运，皇帝诏曰：即日起，本国居民须急速产子，越多越好，最少不得少于十子。违反皇命者，杀无赦!钦此。”

“什么嘛，谁能生这么多啊。”

“就是，生这么多还不把人累死啊。”

“对呀。”

人们逐渐散开，虽然很不服，但还是遵守了。每家每户都一样，都有十个以上的孩子。毕竟有“杀无赦”逼着呢!

数年后。

大街上满满的全是人，几乎寸步难行。该国的商业，一天比一天发达，但失业者越来越多。

满头白发的国王看着报告兴奋得大笑着。“哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈……多好啊，你看。多好啊……”国王笑着笑着突然停住了，“咳咳咳咳咳咳咳咳!“国王开始了剧烈的咳嗽，面部逐渐惨白。终于咳出鲜血，死在书桌上。

国王驾崩，全国上下报丧三天。

第二天，太子身着孝服，双眼通红地走在护城楼上，向下一看。吓了一跳，哇塞!街上简直成了白色的海洋。人们你推我嚷，乱哄哄的。太子摸着下巴，想：“这人口也太多了。”

第三天，太子登基。

新的皇榜再次登出。

“哇，又有什么怪命令出来啦。”

“就是，上次的那个命令把我们害得可够惨的，我有十五个孩子被踩死了，幸运的是我还有三十五个孩子呢。”

“那这次是?”

“走吧，赶快过去看。”

街上形成了一个巨大的旋涡，很多人被踩死，过了好大一会儿，有人喊：“既然都看不到，那找一个嗓门高的人来念吧。”

于是，一人举着喇叭，念起来：“奉天乘运，皇帝诏曰：即日起，有人犯罪，一律死刑，不管犯事大小，一律斩首!钦此。”

“啊!”人们喊着，露出紧张的心情。

就算这样，还有人不遵守，小偷小摸、持刀抢劫，依然肆然。于是乎，新国王把所有犯事的人揪出来，扔到菜市口，被乱刀砍死。从那日开始，人们总是很忧郁，紧张的什么都不敢做。终于，半数以上的人患了神经衰弱，自杀而忘。新国王看到这种现象，刚沾沾自喜。便有兵来报。

“报~~~~，邻国出动100万大军杀过来啦。”

国王张大嘴巴，因为这个国家的人，就剩下30万人了。国王张大眼睛、嘴巴，坐在龙椅上，一动不动，直到被杀。

北京大学社会人口学教授李建新表示,现在的年轻人,尤其是城市长大的年轻人,不大可能不考虑这一决定所要面临的经济挑战而冒然决定要二胎.

Li Jianxin, a professor of social demography at Peking University, says that the younger generation, especially those living in cities, are unlikely to have more children without first considering the economic challenges that decision might bring.

“80后一代人的生活方式和观点与50后、60后有着明显的不同,”李教授说,“多数人不想要那么多孩子,孩子的健康更重要.”

The lifestyle and viewpoints of the post-80s generation are totally different from the 50s and 60s generations, Li said. "Many Chinese want to give birth to fewer but healthier children."

25岁的上海摄影师原田只有1个1岁大的女儿.考虑到抚养1个孩子的成本以及生孩子对自己事业发展所造成的挑战,她觉得1个孩子就足够了.

Yuan Tian, a 25-year-old photographer in Shanghai, has a 1-year-old daughter. And one, she says, is enough – due both to the cost of raising a child and to the challenges a child poses to developing a career.

“生孩子对我的事业影响很大,”她说,“重新回到岗位后,我要花几个月的时间才能赶上同事的步伐.而且也不能把全部精力都集中在工作上,我不得不早点离开办公室去照顾女儿.”

Giving birth really affected my career, she said. "When I returned to work, it took me several months to catch up with my colleagues again. And I cant focus on my work, since I need to leave the office early to take care of my daughter."

近年来，中小学生健康问题日益引起人们的关注。请你用英语就该问题谈谈你的看法。

要求：(1)内容包括①列举中小学生面临的健康问题。

② 请谈谈怎样才能保持健康。

(2)字数：60---80词。

(3)短文中不得出现你的真实姓名、学校名和地名。

范文：Every one wants to keep healthy today, especailly our students. But we dont pay attention to our health. Some of them go to school without breakfast in the morning. Some students and pupils play computer games or watch TV all day, espacially at the weekends. Many boys think it is cool to drink or smoke.

It is important for us to have good habbits. We should eat breakfast every morning. We can watch TV or play games for a short time, then have a rest. We also can take part in some clubs. I think it is necessary for us to keep healthy.

From these graphs, we can draw a conclusion that, with the growth of human population, the number of species has decreased rapidly in America, and some species have even vanished from our planet.

Why does this phenomenon appear? There are several possible reasons for this. Above all, as the human population grows rapidly, a growing number of people came to live where some wild species have been living. Then these species have to move to other places. Some of them probably can not adapt to the new environment and die. In addition, although many people look on the wildlife as their friends, some people may not think so. They catch a lot of wild animals and sell them in order to get more money. Even worse/More importantly, as the result /consequence of the industry, the natural balance and the ecologic environment are destroyed. The clear cutting has become increasingly serious. So some of the wildlife become homeless and extinct.

In order to protect the wildlife, I have some suggestions. First, the governments should make laws to prevent them from being caught and killed. Second, the governments should educate people to love nature and protect it. Third, as for ourselves, we should take practical actions to protect our living environment.

Do You Prefer High Salary or A Promising Job?

When it comes to the choice of career, some people prefer the job with high salary. Why?

Their reasons run as following: to begin with, high salary can bring them happy life; in addition, with high salary, they can do whatever they want.

But some others prefer to choose a job with promising future. They base their choice on the following reasons: on one hand, a promising job itself means a raise and promotion in the future; on another hand, job with a bright future will bring them honor and sense of pride.

As for me, if Im left to make the choice, Ill not hesitate to choose a promising job. First of all, I appreciate the honor and challenge it brings to me. At the same time, if I work hard, it will offer me a lot of opportunities including high salary, good position, etc.

The two charts show that the increase in the U.S. population has been accompanied by a corresponding decline in the number of wildlife species. Far too many species have been lost already. This poses a danger to ecological balance.

As the human population expands, more and more wild animals are hunted for food, or because they are thought to present a threat to man. But studies show that one of the primary causes of the disappearance of wildlife is pollution, which is one of the consequences of population growth and economic development. This makes us wonder if man is able to share this planet in harmony with other life forms.

In my opinion, it is imperative to take steps to reverse the disturbing trend illustrated in the charts. One measure would be to forbid the building of cities in areas where wild life is threatened with extinction. But, more imporantly, man must learn to stop polluting the environment, or he himself will become extinct.

Progress in science and the improvement of living conditions have led m the rapidgrowth of the world population. Modern medical science, for example, has made it possible for babies to grow up healthily and for people to live longer.With improved living conditions, particularly in the countryside, people tend to have larger families. As a resuit, the world population has increased so rapidly that it has now exceeded 5 billion. But the overgrowth of population presents a threat to the existence of human society. A large population demands a great deal of food supply and shelter space. However,the limited productivity and scarce natural resources can hardly meet the needs of the ever-Increasing population. Thus in the long run, the overgrowth of the world population will only harm mankind.4ia英语作文网

控制人口

科学的进步和生活条件的改善导致了世界人口的迅速增长。譬如，现代医学可以使幼儿健康成长，使人们长寿。由于生活条件的改善，特别是农村生活条件的改善，家庭人门日渐增多。结果，世界人口增长如此迅猛以致于现在人口超过了50亿。

但是，人口过分增长对人类社会的存在构成了威胁。大量的人口需要大批的粮食供给和大量的住宅。然而，有限的生产能力和不足的自然资源几乎不能满足日益增长的人口的需要。因此，从长远的观点看，过多的世界人口将会危害人类。

为了保证人类社会的稳定发展，人类必须意识到人口迅速增长所造成的后果和执行计划生育方针的重要性。只有采取有效措施，人类社会才能稳步发展，才会有光明的未来

Presently, the world is faced with serious water problems. But these problems witt become more intense and more complex in the future. Our increasing population witt tremendously increase urban waters, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water witt decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes. Many of thesewitt contain chemicals that are poisonous. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever increasing quantities of agriculture chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problems.

There are two ways by which these pollution problems can be lessened. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes "prior to" disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes to permit the reuse to the water or best reduce pollution upon final disposal. The second approach is to develop an economic use for all or part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient. Wastes from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Liquid wastes from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Only by doing these promptly now can we expect to solve the serious water problems in the future.

The large number of our population has become one of the most serious problems of our society. According to a recent survey of the National Bureau of Statistics, there are more than 1.3 billion people in our country, which account for about 1/5 of all the people in the world. The same survey also predicts that our population will grow quickly in the years to come.

Overpopulation has brought about a series of negative effects to our economic development and social security. In the first place, too many people impose a heavy burden on our environment. As a result, we suffer from a shortage of fresh water and natural resources. In the second place, as the supply of labor greatly exceeds the demand of the society, many people become employed. This is a source of social unrest. Last but not least, we have to manufacture all kinds of products to meet the needs of the people, which causes environment pollution to our lakes and land.

Serious though the problem seems, we have to take some measures to tackle it. On the one hand, the government should carry out more strictly the policy of family planning, thus reducing the total number of population. On the other hand, all the people should realize the harms of overpopulation. With the concerted efforts of all the parties concerned, we’re sure to solve the problem in the future.

Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world. With the development of industry and agriculture, cars make great noises and give off poisonous gas. Trees on the hills have been cut down,and waste water is being poured continuously into rivers.

Furthermore,wherever we go today, we can find rubbish carelessly disposed. The whole ecological balance of the earth is changing. Massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat to mans existence.

We must face the situation that exists and take actions to solve our environmental problems. For instance, new laws must be passed to place strict control over industrial pollution, the pub!ic must receive the education about the hazard of pollution and so on. We hope that all these measures will be effective and bring back a healthful environment.

全世界的环境问题在变得越来越严重。随着工农业的发展，汽车制造噪音、排放毒气，山上的树木被砍伐，污水不断被排入河里。另外，无论我们走到哪里，到处可见随意丢弃的垃圾。整个地球生态平衡正在改变，环境的巨大破坏已带来负面影响，甚至对人类生存带来巨大威胁。

我们必须面对现实，采取行动解决环境问题。例如必须通过新的法律严格控制工业污染问题，大众必须接受污染危害的教育等。我们希望这些措施的有效实施能带给我们一个健康的环境。

With the improvement of our living standard, more and more people can afford a car. As a result, our roads are more often than not crammed with cars. However, with more and more waste gas being discharged by the cars, the problem of air pollution becomes even more serious. So nowadays we advocate to lead a low-carbon life.

My suggestion is we should ride bikes more often instead of driving cars.By riding a bike, we can not only exercise our body but also protect our environment. Why not have a try, my dear friends?

Now, our side of the car constant more up, the environment also increasingly worse! That the air around us there are many harmful substances. Therefore, we want to Sue around things start to do. For example, we can go to school by bike or walk, it can exercise. If you have time can use less elevator, many climb stairs. We can not only physical exercise, but also to protect our environment.

The first fifty years of the next millennium will be critical for the worlds population. By 2050 population growth should have leveled off, but by then well have 10 billion people--two-thirds as many again as we have today.The rate of population growth is something we can choose right now, though: its not something that just happens, but a matter of human choice. The choice is a complicated one,with many variables, but it remains a choice.

If we want to prevent a population explosion, we should take action now -or assist the poorer countries to do so. They need better government, better institutions, better labor and capital markets, better schools.

Anything that increases the value of womens time and adds to the cost of caring for a child makes a woman less likely to have that child. Since big families are often seen as safety nets for illness and old age, improving poor peoples access to insurance, pensions and welfare institutions also has a major impact. This can be as simple as rural credit, providing a means of saving. Finally, there is education--both for women and, perhaps even more important, for the next generation of children.

These steps are there to be taken, but there appear to be some countries that are not seriously trying at the moment. If we cannot achieve that we will certainly not control population.

That said, I dont feel pessimistic that we are going to run out of resources: we are becoming more efficient at producing food faster than the rate at which population is increasing. There is, however, a risk that we will wreck the environment so effectively that the world will no longer be an attractive place to live. That really would be a dismal outcome, to reach world population equilibrium only to find wed destroyed the natural environment in the process.

翻译：

第一个五十年的下一年世界人口将至关重要。到2050年人口增长应该趋于平稳,但那时我们将有100亿人——我们今天三分之二尽可能多的再次。人口的增长是我们可以选择现在,尽管:这不是刚好,但人类选择的问题。选择是一个复杂的,有许多变量,但它仍然是一个选择。

如果我们想避免人口爆炸,我们现在应该采取行动或者帮助贫穷国家。他们需要更好的政府,更好的制度,更好的劳动力和资本市场,更好的学校。

任何增加的价值,女性的时间和增加了的成本照顾一个孩子会让一个女人更不可能有孩子。自大家庭往往被视为安全网疾病和衰老,改善贫困人口获得保险、退休金和福利机构也有重大影响。这可以简单如农村信用,提供储蓄的一种手段。最后,还有教育,对于女性来说,也许更重要的是,对于下一代的孩子。

有采取这些步骤,但似乎有些国家不认真努力。如果我们不能实现,我们将肯定不是控制人口。

说,我不觉得悲观,我们将耗尽资源:我们正变得更有效地生产粮食的速度比人口增长的速度。然而,风险,我们将有效地破坏环境,世界将不再是一个吸引人居住的地方。这确实是一个可悲的结果,实现了人口的平衡却发现在这个过程中我们破坏了自然环境。
