大作文題目

Many cities replace farmlands and parks with houses. Is this positive or negative?

寫作思路

把農(nóng)場和公園改建成居民樓，主要目的是為了給居民提供足夠的住房和更好的居住條件。但是這么做可能會造成一系列的問題。公園是人們休閑娛樂的場所，而且也美化了城市的環(huán)境。如果沒有了公園，人們的生活品質(zhì)會下降，城市的環(huán)境也會變差。農(nóng)場用來生產(chǎn)糧食，如果把農(nóng)田用來建房子，會影響到糧食供給和保障。

參考范文

To provide sufficient housing for city residents, new houses are built in many cities and some of them occupy the land of farms and parks. This measure has some benefits, but its drawbacks should not be ignored.

In many cities,house shortage has become a serious problem, accompanied by the rising house price that is unaffordable to citizens. Therefore, it is reasonable to construct more houses to meet people’s demand, even though sometimes thispolicy may sacrifice farms and parks to acquire more land for housing. With more house supply, people can live in larger space and enjoy better living conditions.

However, it is unwise to demolish parks just for the purpose of constructing residential buildings. The park is a good place for citizens’ physical exercises and leisure activities, not to mention that it constitutes the environment of the city. In a park with a high greening rate, plants and trees can absorb waste gases and provide green shade, creating a comfortable environment for city dwellers. Without parks, the life quality in the city would decline obviously,as living in concrete jungles makes people depressed.

Also, replacing farmlands with houses may lead to the decline in the production of grains, with some people possibly suffering from starvation. Food security is a big concerntoday, particularly in underdeveloped countries. As farms are used forconstruction, people are expected to reclaim more land in the suburban area,making the environment deteriorate.

Overall, in urban planning, it is justified to provide shelter for all citizens, but the importance of parks and farmlands should also be emphasized.
