问题     It has been suggested that everyone in the world wants to own a car, TV and a fridge. Do you think the disadvantages of such a development outweigh the advantages?
选项
答案     In this essay, I shall look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of people all over the world having consumer goods such as cars, TVs and refrigerators.
    First of all, it seems clear that the majority of people in the world would like to have certain consumer goods that almost all people in the economically developed Western world already have. We can find this in countries like China and India where people are working to develop economies to make this happen. However, there are some people, even in the developed world, who do not want these things.
    The main advantage, in my opinion, of people having these things if they want them is that it will hopefully make their lives better through travel, the provision of information and the ability to store food better. Through buying these things, they will also stimulate the economy and provide employment opportunities for people. This, in turn, should raise living standards.
    The main disadvantage, as far as I can see, is that providing these goods for the whole population of the world, which is growing every day, is likely to have great negative environmental effects. More materials will be required to make the goods. More energy will be required to operate them. History shows us that competition for materials and energy between countries is a major cause of conflict.
    In conclusion, I think that, if we are to provide these goods for all the people in the world who want them, we will need to consider how the resources of the world are to be properly managed. I think that the aim is a good one, but achieving it will be difficult.
