6.13 ENVIRONMENT
Damage to the environment is an inevitable consequence of the
improvement in the standard of living. What are your ideas?
Note: The words in parentheses are more advanced alternatives. The
numbers refer to the standard essay pattern given in

.
INTRODUCTION
1. The idea (perception) that damage to the environment is an inevitable
result (consequence) of the development needed to raise our
standards of living has to be changed urgently.
2. I will look at the issue in terms of natural resources, recycling, and
pollution. (40 words)
BODY
3. First, some of our natural resources are irreplaceable and should be
used (utilized) with great care. This includes, for example, crude oil,
coal, and metal ores. However, we can replace other resources like
trees, animals, fish, and plants.
4. For example, when an area has been deforested, we are able to raise
seedlings and replant the area with the same kinds (species) that were
found there before.
5. Second, the extent to which we are using natural resources can be
limited if we pay more attention to recycling. It is known that
businesspeople are interested in developing industries that use
garbage (waste) as their raw material.
6. For example, in Japan, housewives have been educated to sort their
household waste into glass, plastics, and biodegradables. The waste
then has a money (monetary) value and can be marketed.
7. Lastly, at the moment, it is accepted that development inevitably
causes more pollution. This trend will have to be reversed in the
future.

8. For instance, scientists and industrialists have to realize that they
have to limit the amount of pollution that will result from the
development of new manufacturing processes. (180 words)
CONCLUSION
9. From the above, it is clear that there are ways to improve our
standard of living and at the same time limit (curb) the damage to the
environment.
10. To conclude, I would say, “Where there is a will, there is a way.”
