问题 Some people claim that not enough of the waste from homes is recycled. They say that the only way to increase recycling is for governments to make it a legal requirement.
To what extent do you think laws are needed to make people recycle more of their waste?
选项
答案 Some people are concerned that too much household waste is not being recycled. They believe governments should make laws to increase recycling. While I think, to a certain extent, governments should enforce recycling laws on households, I still hold that education about recycling is more important.
Just as we have laws about driving, governments should also make laws about recycling. If laws about recycling were passed, it would force people to think carefully before throwing things out with the garbage. In precisely the same way as penalties are imposed on drivers who disobey road rules, fines should be levied onto people who break recycling laws. Take Connecticut of the US for example. It has adopted various solid waste management requirements to promote recycling of specific material types, which have indeed achieved encouraging results.
Granted, having recycling laws in place might result in an increase in recycling, but educating householders about recycling is still more important. For instance, residents need to understand what sort of items can be recycled and what happens to their recyclable wastes once collected. Many people in fact don’t know that many household items such as paper, glass and aluminium cans can be successfully recycled and reduce the need for the extraction of new natural resources. With such knowledge of recycling transferred, the general public will learn and have better insight into it. Thus, education can be a much better way for compliance than enforcing laws that people do not understand.
In conclusion, while laws may be needed to boost the amount of recycling, I believe that educating residents is much more important and a better way to achieve the same outcome.
解析 本题命题较为灵活。审题时要看清题目的背景和问题。背景是有些人认为家庭回收的垃圾不够多，所以认为只有立法才能改善这种情况。而问题是To what extent do you think laws are needed，意思是“你认为在何种程度上认为立法是必要的”。即文章要回答“立法的必要性会达到何种程度”，故文章注意不要单纯论述“立法很重要”。
范文采用“立法有必要，但教育更重要”的观点，故主体段一段讲述立法的重要性，另一段说明教育的重要性。
