2. 低碳生活方式非常有好处

3. 我们应该如何去做

Nowadays, there are a considerable number of individuals who prefer to lead a low-carbon lifestyle which find expression in the fact that more and more commuters are using public transportation system in their daily life.

Low carbon lifestyle can endow us and our society with numerous benefits. Firstly, it goes beyond doubt that low carbon lifestyle contributes a lot to the environmental protection and it is a favorable way to slow down the rate of climate change of our earth, which also means a lot to our health. What’s more, for us, making greener choices, from food we eat to the means of transportation, can enhance our health and well-being.

We are supposed to undertake the responsibility to lead a low-carbon lifestyle, which is of great significance. And there is a diversity of measures we can take so as to lead such an environmental-friendly life. For one thing, we are expected to minimize the use of private cars, which emit a large amount of greenhouse gases. For another, we are supposed to cultivate the public awareness of energy conservation for energy in the world today is decreasing rapidly. For instance, we can turn off electrical appliances if not necessary as well as using renewable materials. Furthermore, at our leisure, we can seek opportunities to plant more trees which can absorb carbon-dioxide.

In brief, low-carbon lifestyle is nothing but the best choice for us and only in this way can we form a harmonious relationship with the environment. (或With our joint efforts, I believe we will be able to remove our carbon footprint on Earth. Remember walk your talk.)

Food Security

1. 食品安全问题频发；2.食品安全问题频发的原因；3.我的看法

Recently, more and more notorious food scandals have arisen in China. Many people fell ill and some died as a result of eating unsafe food. People are alarmed and they are worried that whatever they eat contain chemical additives.

Why producing and selling undafe food run so wild these days? There are mainly two reasons. First, some companies believe that by using addictives, they can cut costs or boosts profit margins, and they are barely willing to take the effects of additives on consumers into consideration. Second, the regulators don’t assume their due responsibility and supervision is not enforced effectively. Besides, the overlapping duties among different administrators also exacebate the situation, leaving the problems unattended.

As far as I am concerned, the government should hammer out relevant rules to regulate the food manufacture and stipulate strict enforcement of laws. Only by this would food manufactures conduct their business honestly, or else they would be punished sevevely or be closed down.

Money Worship

Currently it is not a rare phenomenon that people go after money and connect many things with pecuniary interests. Those who worship money may claim that money is almighty. I disagree with the view completely since I believe that the value of money has been overestimated and being money-minded and pursuing excessive money can only spoil one’s life.

First of all, money is a symbol of the material wealth on which our life is based, but it is not the best validation of personal success. Over-obsession with money drives a person to become a slave of money, because many people will thus be absorbed in how to make money while turning a blind eye to all other positive aspects of life.In addition, chasing after money can twist one’s psychology. It is commonplace now even in colleges that money ranks highest in students’ personal value systems so that they divert their attention to making money rather than study, which seriously impairs their outlook of the life and world.

The conclusion can be drawn from the above discussion that individuals should not be materialistic. Mammonism is an improper notion that brings harmful effects to our healthy life.

Should We Help Strangers?

Helping strangers has always been considered as a treasured virtue of human kind .We need help from others throughout our life, whenever we travel to other places or stay at home .On the other hand, helping others can make us happy .We feel great joy when we are trusted, needed and able to give a helping hand.

However ,some people are cautious when it comes to helping strangers .They say that helping others involves risks of getting hurt or cheated .Lending a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting a hand to a stranger often puts us in a vulnerable position for it means trusting someone we do not even know .Moreover ,there are times when we have physical limitations- e.g. we can’t swim but a girl is drowning .If we are blind to that limitation ,giving a hand would conversely take our life.

In my opinion, we should still offer what we can do to help needed strangers. Meanwhile, we should beware of getting cheated and use common sense to tell whether the strangers are real needed people or just professional cheats .Detecting anything unusual, we should defend ourselves or turn to the police.

                                Drunk Driving

Any injury and death caused by drunk driving is totally preventable. Although the proportion of crashed that are alcohol-related has dropped dramatically in recent decades, unfortunately, alcohol-impaired driving ramains a serious social problem with thousands of victims annually.

Drunk driving does great harm to individuals and society in many ways. Drunking driving is dangerous and greatly increases the risk of car accidents. There is overwhelming evidence that alcohol affects driving, resulting in poor vision, slow response, bad judgement, etc. individuals and society suffer great financial losses from car accidents.

Drunk driving, like many other social problems, resists simple solutions. However, there are a number of actions we can take. Recently, our government has passed the law to put drunk drivers in to jail, and revoked their licenses which will not be issued again for 5 years. But apart from the legal punishments, I think it is everyone’s responsibility to avoid drunk driving for the sake of their families and others’ safety.
