Task2

Developmentof technology are causing environmental problems. Some people think thesolution is that everyone accepts a simpler life,while others believe thattechnology can solve these problem,

Discussboth views and give your own opinion.

本次作文both sides相对比较清晰，难在ideas拓展。

A:Livinga simpler life is a ideal measure to improve environmental problems caused bytechnology.

B.The problems can be resolved by technology itself.

参考文章：

Technologybrings tremendous conveniences to our lives,while also leading to serousenvironmental concerns. The question over the solutions of these problems hasalways been disturbing us and agreement can hardly be reached. Some insist thatthe very recipe is to turn to simpler life ways.

Theview is strongly supported by the fact that many cities in the world areencouraging their citizens to take public transport instead of private vehiclesand the policy has achieved extremely positive environmental results. Lessvehicles mean less emissions and better air conditions. Residents in somecities are even advocated to take bicycles to minimize the negative effectscaused by the increasing transports. In addition, The advancement of technologyrequires constant supply of natural resources. If we all adapt to a simplerlife way, a sustainable development will be realized,which will consequentlybenefit the development of later generations.

Onthe other hand, some people propose totally different idea and they claimtechnology will resolve its own problem as it continuously develops. Theconstant study and research to the clean energies is a convincing evidence tothis. Now many vehicles and machines can be powered by electricity and solarenergy. Scientists are also trying to find more renewable energies, such astide,wind and geothermal energy, as alternative energies to oil and coal, whichare hugely dirty and environmentally harmful.

Asfar as l am concerned, the two sides both hold well-groundedexplanations,meaning a simpler life and the power of technology are bothimportant aspects in bettering the environmental conditions. Only when the twosides are integrated can the best living environment be achieved.
