prosperity from the development of modern industry, yet few would give the slightest consideration to the global air and water pollution. Our ruthless exploitation has permanently impaired our mother—the earth.
Finally, we cannot help thinking of our posterity. Nature is not only the mother of the present generation, but also the mother of the generations to come. How severely our descendants will criticize us if we leave them a barren and lifeless mother? How much more will they appreciate us if we give them a world of harmony to inherit? Let us start respecting and caring for nature from now on. Let us start the campaign of creating a mutually beneficial relationship between people and nature right from this moment. With this new start, I firmly believe that our offsprings will live in a brand new age of green trees, clean air, crystal water, blue sky and an even more promising world!
【作文评析2】文章开头较有新意，全文贯穿环保意识，主题鲜明，有强烈的时代感。开头段：作者以一个孩子的三句话开头，点明孩子和母亲之间的关系：孩子只知索取，不知回报，为下文论述人类和自然的关系做了铺垫。中间段：作者以一个比喻句开头，点明人类和自然之间的现状：人类只知索取，不思回报。然后用三个排比句加以论述，同时点明人类破坏环境，没有环保意识这个社会问题。结尾段：承接上文，用两个排比句说明了破坏环境的严重后果，同时向人们发出倡导：从现在开始，关注环境，保护环境，我们的后代才能生活在一个美好的环境里。
