戴爾美語練功坊雅思寫作測驗試題(6/10日) You should spend about 40 minutes on this task. Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic: Some people think food travel is beneficial to business, while others think it will do harm to environment. Discuss both views and give your opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words. The food travel debate is ineluctably intertwined between economic interests and environmental concerns. While food is traveling since transport has become so inexpensive by virtue of globalization, efficaciously abridging the distance of trudge, the manner by which food is no longer restricted to specific regions but carried is not doing the natural environment any favors. The crux of the concern is the attention riveted on whether to meet human food demand or to diminish pollution stemming from the transportation. Correlating closely food with transportation is crucial business. The affordability of cheap transport of food, in recent years, has given rise to booming business regarding freight by land, sea and air. As the population on the planet continues to grow, so does the demand for provisions. Nowadays, all types of produce, raw materials as well as food may be carried long distances from producing regions to consumer markets within weeks, days or even hours, which is indeed conducive to assuagement of paucity of viands or food in some indigent nations due to climate change, drought, or natural disaster. Employing this win-win trade practice, benefitting both sellers who can help create more valuable job opportunity and who can help supply consumers with more food varieties at more affordable prices and buyers who can arbitrarily choose from the variety of imports and who can randomly procure what is unable to be produced in their places. In token of this point, commercial globalization seems to be positive at its best, justifying in part why foods need to travel thousands of miles around the world. Conversely, the downside deriving from the transportation representative of pollution is the most rampant. Despite the fact that procuring and selling foods beyond borders may bolster bilateral or multilateral economic connections, the environmental impact caused by transportation appears to be just too severe to be ignored. Huge trucks, enormous ships and prodigious jumbo jets that are utilized to carry foods consume fossil fuels responsible for escalating amount of emission of carbon dioxide the culprit of global warming. Moreover, fuel burning has become so exorbitant that environmental activists behind a green cloak are calling on policy makers to forcibly diminish contamination, or else. Under no circumstances is the warning groundless or pointless, considering that contamination from transportation accounts for not merely a trace of emissions which are convinced to generate greenhouse effects that eventually cause the Earth's climate to change, contributing to further indecent harvest of crops. Conspicuously, the longer the distance food travels, the fuel consumption of the transportation vehicles will also be greater, and no doubt the more grave as well as the more pernicious the global warming. In the light of both the merits and defects about long-distance food transportation, there seems no explicit answer to the question. Nevertheless, it depends on consumers to make choices, knowing where food they enjoy derives from. Exercising our utmost to purchase local produce not only espouses local farmers but also furnishes your meals with the freshest and most nutrient-packed options; more importantly, it can sharply alleviate the pressure on the environment. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.126.31.60
