參考范文
As is depicted in the picture, weather is becoming so hot that the duck even feels that the pig smells like bacon. A little exaggerated though it sounds, it is an indisputable fact that global warming is becoming increasingly severe. 1
Global warming has negative effects on many aspects. 2 Firstly 3 , global warming may cause the icebergs to melt, which may lead to a rise in sea level. As a result, some island nations will be submerged by the sea. Secondly 3 , due to global warming, natural disasters occur frequently, such as floods, hurricanes and so on. Thirdly 3 , the ecological balance will be destroyed and many creatures will disappear for ever with the aggravation of global warming. Fourthly 3 , the cost to compensate for the loss caused by global warming will be huge.
In conclusion, global warming is a serious problem. We should pay more attention to it. Let’s take actions, start from ourselves, advocate the low-carbon way of life, and contribute our efforts to the protection of the planet. 4
正如圖中所描述的,氣候變得如此之熱,以至于圖中的鴨子甚至感到,它對面的豬已經散發(fā)出熏肉的味道。 雖然聽起來有些夸張,但是全球變暖日益嚴重是不爭的事實。
全球變暖帶來的危害是多方面的。首先,全球變暖可能會導致冰山融化,海平面上升,結果,一些島國將被海水淹沒。第二,由于全球氣候變暖,洪水、颶風等自然災害頻發(fā)。第三,生態(tài)平衡將遭到破壞,許多生物會隨著全球變暖加劇而永遠消失。第四,為彌補因全球變暖帶來的損失,我們將付出沉重的代價。
總之,全球變暖是很嚴重的問題,我們應該更加重視這個問題。讓我們行動起來,從自身做起,倡導低碳生活方式,為保護地球貢獻自己的力量。

句法點評
1. A little exaggerated though it sounds, it is an indisputable fact that global warming is becoming increasingly severe.
全句是包含though引導的讓步狀語從句的復合句。though引導的讓步狀語從句使用了倒裝語序,改成正常語序應該是Though it sounds a little exaggerated。后半句為該復合句的主句,主句句首的it為形式主語,真正的主語是后面that引導的從句。
2. Let’s take actions, start from ourselves, advocate the low-carbon way of life, and contribute our efforts to the protection of the planet.
使用祈使句感召力更強,take,start,advocate和contribute四個動詞排比使用,更有氣勢。
