答案     Environmental protection is, no doubt, one of the most important global issues in modern society. The public has proposed many different ways to show concern for the environment. Admittedly, the three ways suggested in the question are all very effective. Yet, among the three ways, I think the second way—reusing and recycling waste materials—is the most useful action. I have the following reasons to support my choice.
    The foremost advantage is exhibited in the reduced amounts of waste materials. Currently, the growing amounts of waste materials lead to an increasing number of landfills, which cause many problems in the world, especially in the context of rapid development of urbanization. The landfills compete with sprawling cities for land, exacerbating the shortage of public space and residential areas. If more waste materials are reused and recycled, the amount of waste that goes to landfills can be significantly reduced. The waste materials recycled can be used to produce new products. This will help alleviate the shortage of natural resources, a problem we are facing now.
    Reusing and recycling is regarded as the most useful way also because it has the edge over the other two methods. It is unrealistic for people who have a long commute to ride a bike or walk to work. They might feel too tired to work after spending so much time in riding or walking. The third option, buying locally produced organic foods, protects the environment by reducing the chemical contamination caused by non-organic farming and the carbon footprints caused by transporting foods. However, it is worth noting that local organic foods can be expensive. The prices may cause extra burdens for individuals and families; therefore, it is not the most useful way for most people. In comparison, everyone is able to reuse and recycle waste materials, which will not induce extra time costs or financial burdens for them.
    To sum up, reusing and recycling is the most favorable way for most people to protect the environment. in fact, there are many successful examples of this method to encourage people to live in a more environmentally friendly way. Japan is such a typical example. lt took about a generation’s time for it to establish the current system of recycling and reusing since 1990s, and now Japan is considered one of the cleanest countries in the world. Therefore, I think that this method is definitely worth being promoted.

解析     第1段:介绍题目,并表明自己的观点。通过介绍环保的大背景来引入题目。对题目进行回应。由于题干较长,所以不重复题干,而是用the three ways suggested in the question来简单概括。说明自己的选择:回收和重复利用废物。承接下一段,提出自己的理由。
    第2段:描述回收和重复利用废物这种方式的好处。第一句提出观点,通过描述世界各国普遍面临的、严峻的废物处理问题,来凸显回收利用的必要性。最后凸显实行回收利用对解决这一问题的意义及其他环境效益。
    第3段:比较所选方式和其他两个方式。第一句是主题句,鲜明地提出这个方式比起其他两个有优势。描述骑自行车出行或者步行这种方式的不便之处,先采用欲抑先扬的方式,肯定购买本地生产的有机食品这种方式的好处,然后话锋一转,指出这种方式不方便推广的原因。通过比较,再次突出回收和重复利用废物这种方式是最实用的。
    第4段:总结段。重申自己的观点,给出一个例子,丰富论证。最后总结全文。
