Directions:
How can we meet the needs of today without diminishing the capacity of future generations to meet theirs? Sustainable development implies a broad view of human welfare, a long term perspective about social development. Write an essay which should cover:
1) describing the set of drawings below,
2) stating its main idea, and
3) giving your comment.
You should write about 160-200 words.
As can be seen from the above drawings, the father has planted a small tree that grows into a big one and is left to his son to enjoy. Years later, his son sits under the big tree enjoying its shade.
In social development, we should not over utilize our natural resources, as in the case of forests. A reasonable use of forests and reforestation are the best choices in the long run. Human beings should plan ahead when it comes to social development. Even though trees are in short demand today, we must still keep the deforestation under control, for we do not want to eliminate all of our forests, which are essential to our existence. Reforestation is another wise practice. We may not fully benefit from planting trees for the time being, but we must continue doing so, since it will benefit later generations.
From the point of view of sustainable development, we have the responsibility to ensure that future generations have enough natural resources to use and are not penalized for the shortsightedness of present day decision makers. In other words, we should not use up our natural resources just to meet our own present day needs, while ignoring the future of our planet.

畫中可見(jiàn)，一位父親種了一棵小樹(shù)，這棵小樹(shù)將長(zhǎng)成參天大樹(shù)，他的兒子將會(huì)從中受益。多年以后，他的兒子坐在樹(shù)下享受著大樹(shù)帶來(lái)的陰涼�！ �
在社會(huì)發(fā)展中，我們不能過(guò)度使用自然資源，比如說(shuō)森林資源。從長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)來(lái)說(shuō)對(duì)森林的合理利用和植樹(shù)造林是最好的選擇。人類應(yīng)當(dāng)為社會(huì)發(fā)展做長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)的打算。盡管木材在當(dāng)今社會(huì)十分短缺，我們也必須控制濫砍濫伐，因?yàn)槲覀儾辉缚吹缴诌@一人類賴以生存的基礎(chǔ)被徹底用盡。植樹(shù)造林無(wú)疑是又一項(xiàng)英明的舉措。我們也許暫時(shí)不能夠充分享受植樹(shù)給我們帶來(lái)的益處，但是我們必須繼續(xù)將這一舉措堅(jiān)持下去，因?yàn)樗鼤?huì)使我們的后代受益�！ �
從可持續(xù)發(fā)展的角度來(lái)看，我們有責(zé)任來(lái)保障后代有豐富的自然資源可利用，并且不會(huì)使他們因今天決策者的目光短淺而受到懲罰。換句話說(shuō)，我們不應(yīng)該僅為滿足我們自己當(dāng)前的需要而用盡所有的自然資源，忽視我們后代的需求。
范文2
Directions: Study the following set of cartoons carefully and write an essay in which you should
1) describe the cartoons,
2) interpret its meaning, and
3) point out its implications in our life.
You should write about 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to others. In the next illustration a disabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind.
Being well dressed is of great importance in keeping a good appearance. The way a person is dressed helps him to have a good appearance, which conveys his confidence and attitudes towards life. However, we should always bear this in mind: dont judge a person by his appearance. Ones confidence and good impression on others does not usually develop from the way one dresses or looks, but the inner qualities one possesses. Because of this, the old man is displaying a more beautiful virtue even though he is disabled and somewhat ugly physically compared with the young girl.
No doubt beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eyes. A nice, pretty girl is regarded as beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall coming down from a mountain is as well looked upon as beautiful. However, beauty also refers to what appeals to the mind. The virtues of the Chinese people are regarded as beautiful, because they have helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. In a word, we should not only pay attention to our physical appearance, but also improve our heart and soul.
譯文
漫畫中描繪了一個(gè)穿著入時(shí)的女孩把香蕉皮隨手丟棄在地上，而不是把它放入垃圾桶內(nèi)。之后，一位年長(zhǎng)的殘疾人把它拾起放入了垃圾桶。穿著漂亮固然能夠展現(xiàn)美麗的外表。一個(gè)人的穿著方式有助于其擁有漂亮的外表，這體現(xiàn)了一個(gè)人對(duì)生活的信心和態(tài)度。然而，我們應(yīng)該始終記住這樣的原則：不以貌取人。一個(gè)人的自信和良好的形象往往不只在于她的長(zhǎng)相和穿著，而在于她的內(nèi)在品質(zhì)。正因如此，這位擁有高尚道德的長(zhǎng)者看起來(lái)要比這位時(shí)髦女孩更加美麗，盡管他有殘疾而他的外表也比不上這位年輕的女孩。
毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，美麗是指那些吸引人們目光的東西。一個(gè)漂亮迷人的女孩是美麗，一束盛開(kāi)的鮮花同樣是美麗，一個(gè)壯觀的瀑布從山上飛流直下也是美麗。然而，美麗還指那些能夠吸引人們思想的東西。中華民族的傳統(tǒng)美德是美麗，因?yàn)檎沁@樣的美德才孕育了世界上如此燦爛的文化。 一言以蔽之，我們不僅要只注意自己的外表，同時(shí)也要使我們的心靈得到升華。
