环境污染话题英语作文1000字【汇集20篇】

Strong Will

Since I go to high school, I live in the school and stay away from my

parents.

I have three roommates. At the beginning, we have trouble in staying in the

same room, but now we have got used to it. One of my roommates impresses me so

much. Since she came to our room, she has kept the habit of reading novels when

we go to bed. She told me that when she lived with her parents, she dared not to

read because her mother would blame her for sleeping late. Now she is very happy

that she is out of control, it seems that she is free. But I feel sorry for her,

because she is short-sighted now. What’s more, she is lagging behind other

students in the study. Staying away from her parents, she is not strong enough

to behave herself.

We should have the strong will and behave ourselves.

坚强的意志

自从我上了高中，我就住在学校，远离父母。

我有3个室友，刚开始，我们不习惯同处一室，但是如今，我们已经习惯了。有一个室友让我印象很深刻，自从她住进我们的房间，她就在我们睡觉的时候保持看小说的习惯。她告诉我们在她和父母住在一起的时候，她不敢看小说，因为她妈妈会责怪她那么晚睡觉。如今她很高兴再也不受控制了，似乎她得到了自由。但是我为她感到遗憾，因为她现在已经近视，而且，在学习方面也落后于其他同学。离开了父母，她不够强大，无法自律。

我们应该有坚强的意志，并且自律。

Dear Mike，

Thank you very much for your concern. Last month several places in Beijing were blanketed(覆盖)with thick yellow fog. Everything around disappeared from our sight. Some highways were closed. Traffic jams were commonly seen in the streets. Many people, especially children and se{C}{C}

Part of the cause was the dry weather, but the severely damaged environment contributed a lot to this nightmare. Personally I didn’t get any health problems in the haze because I stayed mostly indoors. But to make a significant change we really have to do more to protect our environment. To live a bette{C}{C}

青少年很喜欢玩电脑游戏，一些人甚至旷课，他们在街上到处晃荡，去到网吧里面，沉浸在电脑游戏里面。我们都知道，网吧对于青少年来说不是一个该去的好地方。第一，网吧里面有形形色色的人。据报道，很多事故发生在网吧里面，一些人彼此间打架，然后砍人，甚至有人死掉。这是多么危险啊。第二，青少年相对比较天真，他们可能会在网吧里面收到坏人的诱导，也有可能被坏人绑架到别的地方，永远不能再回家。网吧对于青少年来说不是一个安全的地方，所以他们应该学着保护自己，远离网吧。

关于环境污染的作文400字一

随着科技的不断发展，汽车的不断增多，排放的废气已经造成了严重的污染，或许，几年后的子孙后代、几百年后的大家，或许会因为大气污染而死亡。现在，地球上每一年都有百分之二十的人因为饮用了受到污染的水而死亡，如果这样延续下去，地球在几万年后岂不是变得光秃秃、像月球一样了？

据科学家的统计，每一年，每一月都有百分之二十多的树木因为废气污染而枯萎。百分之八十多对我们有益的细菌死亡，大家或许会觉得很夸张，但这是事实。其次还有受到污染的废水、废气等。人类有错吗？

我多么希望大家能珍惜我们身边的每一个事物，每一只动物，每一只有益的细菌，因为，很有可能，在几万年后的今天，他们都没有了。

动物对人类发起了警告；

细菌对人类发起了警告；

每一条无辜的生命对我们发起了警告。

“人类，不要再害你自己，不要再害死我们了吧！”

关于环境污染的作文400字二

在21世纪的今天，人类的科学经济发展已经达到了很高的水平。然而我想问：你们有没有意识到人类的活动对环境会造成怎样的影响呢？

森林的乱砍滥伐不就是一个严峻的问题吗？据调查全世界森林面积正以每年上千万公顷的速度在消失。造成大量的水土流失，使许多地区成为沙漠。人类的活动范围在不断减少，这不可怕吗？

人类除了破坏森林之外，难道就没有什么破坏环境的问题了吗？不是这样的。现在我们应该看到水污染的严重性，目前世界上60%的地区面临供水不足，已有20%的人口难以得到清洁水，51%的人无法得到卫生用水。这是什么造成的呢？是我们人类自己造成的，现在的工厂及我们生活中的污水，没有通过处理就排出去。这不是最好的吗？据研究，每排放１立方米污水，就污染１４立方米天然水。想一想，这是多么可怕的数字？

在工厂排出的浓烟里，我们不知道浓烟是污染大气的吗？科学家发现，至少有100种大气污染物对环境产生极大危害，直接影响人们的健康。

难道我们想在这种环境中生活吗？当然不想；那让我们用行动来证明吧！我们可以从我做起，从现在做起，从身边做起。树立爱自然、爱护环境的意识吧！来做宣传环保的使者！让我们一起为保护环境行动起来吧

It is reported that ten big cities in China are being  among the top twenty cities with the highest pollution index in the world. This means it is high time we did something to bring the situation under control.

Many factors are  to the deteriorating situation: industrial wastes pumped into the air, the lakes and rivers; a increasing number of automobiles crowding into the streets; the  use of plastic bags etc.

To my view, stiffer laws and regulations must be implemented to check pollution. Industries that release wastes without  should be heavily fined. Cars should be equipped to minimize the exhaust they release into the air. And the use of plastic bags and disposable meal boxes should be banned. What’s more, the media should play an important role in implanting a sense

of consciousness into people’s mind.

If everybody works toward a common goal of making the environment better, we can create a cleaner and lovelier world for us and for the coming generation.

​导语：现如今，雾霾天气越来越严重，下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

近年来，城市空气污染越来越严重，各大城市相继出现了雾霾天气(hazy weather)，请根据

下列内容要点提示，写一篇关于保护环境的文章。

内容要点：

1、雾霾成因：①汽车使用增加;②工厂污染严重;③树林大量砍伐

2、建议办法：①尽量少用私家车，选用公共交通工具、步行或骑自行车;

② (自拟1—2条)

写作要求：1、词数80左右。2、短文必须包含所有要点，可适当发挥。

Now cars are increasing very fast. Factories are continuing polluting the air. Trees are being cut down. So the hazy weather is becoming more and more serious. It’s time for us to do something to protect the environment.

First of all, we’d better not travel by car unless it’s necessary. We can take the bus or the subway, walk or ride a bike if we don’t go far away. We can also set up a volunteer club and ask more people to join it. We can plant more trees, give the government advice to stop the factories polluting the air and water.

【参考译文】

现在汽车的增长速度非常快。工厂继续污染空气。树木正在被砍伐。所以，天气变得越来越模糊了。现在是我们采取措施保护环境的时候了。

首先，除非有必要，我们最好不要坐汽车旅行。如果我们不走远的话，我们可以乘公共汽车或地铁，步行或骑自行车。我们还可以成立一个志愿者俱乐部，让更多的人加入。我们可以种更多的树，给政府建议，阻止工厂污染空气和水。

随着人们对PM2.5越来越多的了解，人们对自己的生活环境的空气质量越来越关注，更多的人志愿为改善空气质量做出自己的贡献。作为中学生，在日常生活中，我们应该如何去做?

导语：随着秋冬季节来临,雾霾天气也越来越严重,尤其是华北黄淮地区。雾霾天气是一轮接着一轮,市民只能等风来,靠冷空气吹散雾霾。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

When winter comes, the topic of haze will never be ignored. When it comes, many pictures will be showed. People make fun of these pictures and they actually laugh at themselves, living with these poison air. Even in the daytime, people can’t see their faces beyond 10 meters. Many schools choose to stop the class and let the students stay at home. It is obvious that haze is a great threat to people’s health. This new type of destruction is the result of polluted environment. Businessmen chase for the profit and take the cost of polluting the environment. Now their offspring have to suffer from it. It is never too late to do something to protect our earth.

【参考翻译】

当冬季来临的时候，阴霾的话题永远不会被忽略。当雾霾到来的时候，人们会为它拍摄很多图片，之后再取笑这些照片。但是他们实际上嘲笑的是他们自己，因为他们生活在这些有毒的空气里。即使在白天，如果超过10米的话，人们都会看不见他人的脸。许多学校选择停课，让学生呆在家里。很明显，雾霾严重威胁到人们的健康。这种新型的破坏是环境污染的后果。商人们追求以污染环境为代价的利润，现在他们的后代都得遭受到恶果。现在为保护我们的地球付出努力还为时不晚。

导语：当我们面对他们时，没有什么比希望和自信更重要。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

It is well-known that we exist in a dynamic world with various difficulties. When we are faced with them, nothing is more important than hope and self-confidence. With confidence, we can find sometimes the question is not as “huge”as we imagine.

Take most of us for example, the entrance exam to college seems to be a horrible monster. Accordingly, some people give up, some persist. In my eyes, with confidence, right assessment of the difficulties, as well as full preparation, try and exert your strength, and then we will overcome all problems and challenges. On the whole, I believe we youngsters should face the difficulties in right manner. And nothing is impossible, brave it out and just do it!

【参考译文】

众所周知，我们生活在一个充满各种困难的充满活力的世界里。当我们面对他们时，没有什么比希望和自信更重要。有信心，我们可以发现有时问题并不像我们想象的那样“庞大”。

以我们大多数人为例，高考似乎是一个可怕的怪物。因此，有些人放弃，有些人坚持。在我眼里，有信心，有正确的评估困难，以及充分的准备，尝试和发挥你的力量，然后我们将克服所有的问题和挑战。总的来说，我相信我们年轻人应该以正确的方式面对困难。没有什么是不可能的，勇敢的去做!

The Importance of Trees

As we all know, trees are very useful. They are of great benefit to man as follows: First, trees provide us with wood and other products; Second, their roots can allow the rain to sink in and keep the soil, so they help to prevent droughts and floods. Trees can clean air and beautiful life.

Unfortunately, nowadays in many parts of the world lots of people fail to realize the importance of trees. They have cut trees down in large numbers without a plan,which makes the soil washed away. They dont know where there no trees, the rain washed away the surface of the soil and this causes floods.

We ought to plant trees each year and carefully look after new trees in order not to make the forest slowly disappear. Only in this way can we make the forest serve man forever.

树的重要性

众所周知，树有很多的用处，人类从中得到如下很多益处：第一，树给我们提供了木材和其他一些产品。第二，它们的根能让雨水渗进并保持乒壤以免被水冲走，所以树木可以预防旱灾和水灾。同时树木还帮我们净化空气，美化生活。

不幸的是，今天世界上很多地方人们没有意识到树木的重要性。他们无计划的大量砍伐树木，这样使得土壤被破坏，他们不知道那没有树的地方，一下雨就把土壤的表层冲走了，导致洪灾。

我们应该多植树，同时好好照顾小树，不要让森林一点点消失，只有这样才能让森林永远为人类服务。

阳光明媚的早晨，我坐在草坪上，一边倾听着鸟儿的鸣叫，一边喜滋滋地望着报纸的头条傻笑。如果你听到了这个喜讯，也一定会为我喝彩的。那就是本人设计的一款环保节能汽车获得了科技创新一等奖。 The sunny morning, I sat on the lawn, listening to the birds tweet, while looking at the headline of the newspaper with joy.If you hear this good news, you will definitely applaud me.That is, an environmentally friendly energy -saving car designed by himself has won the first prize of scientific and technological innovation.

这种环保节能汽车包括了飞机、直升机、汽车、电动汽车等功能。首先要介绍它的第一大特点“飞”。我们常能看见马路上交通拥挤的现象。这时你就可以驾驶着环保节能汽车飞过这拥堵的马路，或在天空暂时停留。那你一定会担心：汽车在天上飞来飞去，会不会造成什么不良影响。这个问题你可以放宽一百二十个心。它的外壳是用钢化隐形玻璃制成的。只要按一下“隐形”按钮，它就会立刻“隐身”起来。不过坐在驾驶室里，透过玻璃却能看见外面的世界，也能看见外面的隐形汽车。

那你一定会担心：汽车在天上飞，如果遇到刮风下雨天可怎么办呢?这个问题就是环保节能汽车作用的精华所在。它的外壳如钢铁般坚硬，不仅大风刮不倒，也可以发出电磁波阻挠雷电的攻击。这样你就可以放心大胆地在天空翱翔。

忧心忡忡的你一定会有新的问题接踵而至：既然是环保节能汽车，那节能、环保又体现在哪儿呢?这种汽车内部安装有太阳能发电机、风力发电机、吸收二氧化碳发电机可以提供能源，所以你不用担心能源耗尽的问题。

环保节能汽车在天上飞、在地上跑都是不会发生交通事故的。在环保节能汽车的周围有一层隐形的防护罩。这种防护罩只有在汽车启动后才开始保护。这种防护罩以汽车的长为直径到汽车的顶部是一个半圆。如果有障碍物触碰到了防护罩，那汽车将会立刻自动躲闪。

我相信这种汽车一定会受到人们的广泛欢迎，为人类生活提供更多方便。

题目：

1.在现代社会，城市交通问题变得越来越严重

2.城市交通问题的.表现以及对人们生活的影响

3.解决的方法与措施

题材连接：城市交通问题属于比较热点的社会话题，对于六级考试的作文题材来说，越来越偏重于社会的次热点话题，而且与人们的生活密切相关，让考生拿到题目后有话可说，有文可写.对于目前的社会问题来说了，除了交通问题外，住房问题，就业的问题都可能作为考查的范围与话题

范文

There is no doubt that traffic congestion becomes a growing worry for the

residents of most urban areas. Some major roads are regularly choked with

traffic in rush hours. The limited transport capacity contributes largely to the

vexing problem. How to solve the headache?.

The existing solutions to traffic jam mainly aim at creating metro bus

systems and broadening major roads. Widening the existing roads can solve

traffic snarls on some level. Soaring car ownership compounds the chronic

annoying problem, so we must sharply reduce the heavy reliance on cars and drive

a shift to the mass transportation. It is a cheap and good way. We can create a

system of customized bus routes and highlight the development of subways,

trolleys and light rail. The effective combination of these solutions will

enable the urban areas to possess a smooth traffic.

“生活是一个百变的万花筒，是否打开它，使它色彩缤纷，闪闪发亮，完全决定于你的心态。”这句话说得好，的确，心态决定着生活中的一切。 "Life is a variety of kaleidoscope, whether to open it, make it colorful, shiny, and determine your mentality completely." This sentence says well.Indeed, the mentality determines everything in life.

在从娘胎里爬滚出来后，我们就在生活的漩涡中打转，生活无时无刻不陪伴着我们。随着时间的推移，我们会逐渐体会生活的些许艰苦和无奈。无法遂一己的愿，总在生活中碰钉子，事与愿违似乎已是家常便饭了。

无可厚非，生活中的确充满着挫折，但是，只要你的心态坚定，生活依然光芒万丈。

愁眉苦脸地看待生活，生活肯定愁眉不展的;爽朗乐观地看待生活，生活也肯定阳光灿烂。如何看待生活，与人的心态有关：心中没有阳光的人，势必难以发现阳光的灿烂!心中没有花香的人，也势必难以发现花朵的娇艳明媚!

在刚上初一的时候，学习任务一下子繁重了，那时的我，还沉浸于小学时光的贪玩时刻，整天无心读书，去学校好像是最痛苦的事，但是，我必须忍着。每一到考试，我也心里不禁地紧张了，害怕考砸，害怕家长会。

在经历一学期后，我似乎对生活失望了，忧愁、迷茫、惘怅一直缠绕着我，压得我喘不过气来了。我的心好痛，在紧锁的心扉中，已没了思想，对生活没有了态度，感觉周边的环境一下子冷漠了。心态与生活的隔离，原来竟是这样，我懂了。

一股无名的动力泉源流入我体内，或许是对爸妈的歉意，又或是同学之间的自尊心。我变了，我开始发奋读书，一次又一次的考试，第三十几名、第十几……第一名。我的心里有股说不出来的冲动，抬头看天空，好灿烂的阳光，这是以前我不曾注意到的，也不曾拥有过的温暖。

我发觉我的生活又光芒万丈了，在生活中，我的笑容在丢失已失后又重新挂在脸上。无知的我，差一点抹灭了自己的未来，我重新找回了自信，也找回了真实的自己。

心态决定生活!我好想说，真的，拥有怎样的心态，对待的生活势必不一样。想做个阳光的你，就勇于去挖掘生活中灿烂的点点滴滴吧。生活由你的心态决定!

Should We Help Strangers?

Recently our class had a discussion about whether we should help

strangers.Different students have different opinions.

Some think we should try to help strangers. Helping others is a virtue，and

helping others is helping ourselves.We may come across some trouble and need

others help some day.If everyone isnt willing to help us just because we are

strangers to them，its hard to imagine what our world will be like.

However，some are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring us

trouble.Sometimes we are just misunderstood and even have to pay the cost of

kindness.

In my opinion，we should try our best to help others when they are in need

of help，but we should also protect ourselves from getting into trouble.If

everyone tries a little kindness，our world will be full of love.

each year there is an increasing number of cars on the roads as millions of new cars are produced. one out of six americans works at making cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling up gas. americans couldnt live without cars!

most americans would find it hard to imagine life without a car. however, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution caused by cars. the polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

one way to get rid of the polluted air is to make a car without pollution. but to build a clean car is easier said than done. progress in this field is slow.

another way is to replace car engines with something else. inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars. many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model for us.

to prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we have to make some changes in our lives. americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars.they are encouraged to use bicycles, which are thought to help keep the air clean.

I read a piece of news recently. It says that in Japan marly businessmen ave selling fresh air to customers.and now it is becoming more and more popular. Why?——Fresh air is getting less and less in Japan, and so is it in the U. S. A.

In fact, environmental pollution is a very serious problem the whole world is facing.

it is mainly caused by the waste products released from artificial substances, industrial production and increased consumption of goods. Bedsides, the use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes environmental pollution. Look at the sky, you can see that dense smoke is being released from the high and big chimneys; those dirty and poisonous substances are flowing into the rivers that we use for drinking water and millions of tons of waste products are heaping around us.

How to change this condition?More and more countries are trying to work out some effective means to bring it under control, but no great success has been made.

Leifeng was known as a pattern that offered help to others selflessly. He

devoted all this life into his beloved career as well. I, myself, was totally

shocked by his character.

Such is human nature; people trace the good, water flows to low. Everyone

should copy his sprit as our daily life goes instead of uttering a meaningless

slogan “learn from Leifeng, our decent idol”, so that we could definitely see a

lot more smiling faces rather than conflict.

To help others is not a hard thing, however, what you need is to consist

doing it. Take myself as an example. I am the representative of Math, to collect

homework is my daily task, however, I would turn them to the right page for

shorten the time for teachers when correcting them.

I strongly propose that we shall see a better world if each of us treat

Leifeng as our model and copy his spirit.

Pollution is harmful to human beings. Polluted water causes many kinds of diseases such as diarrhea, enteritis, etc. And sometimes these diseases even take man’s life. Dirty air or air-borne garbage causes stinging eyes and running nose. Pollutants are destructive. They cause runs in nylon stockings and crack rubber tires and they eat away at stone and rust iron.

Measures have been taken to control pollution. In recent years, legislative steps have been introduced to control pollution. Rivers are being cleaned. Air is purified, and pollutants are being trapped before they are poured out of chimneys.

However, pollution problems have not been completely solved. Pesticides are widely used almost everywhere. They pollute soil, water and food. They have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Some factories are still using air as a dumping place for wastes. Some lakes are still dirty. Quite a few chimneys are still pouring smoke into air and noise pollution remains serious.
