问题     Technological development causes a lot of environmental problems. As for the issue, some people think a simple life style can protect environment while others argue that technology itself can solve it.
    Discuss both sides and give your own opinion.
选项
答案     As the symbol of 21st century, technology has transformed nearly every aspect of our life, such as communications, traffic, and housing. Environmental pollution, however, haunts technological advance up until now. Greenhouse gas emissions from popular private cars, poisonous pollutants from modern factories, and even noise pollution from air flights have promoted us to doubt whether we have paid too much for what we have enjoyed.
    On one hand, if less technological applications in our life are harnessed, environmental pollution will be alleviated. There is no doubt that our life becomes comfortable and convenient with the help of advanced technology, for example, private cars and air planes, which facilitate travel substantially and enhance our working efficiency considerably. Living in one country while working in another turns out to be a common practice for employees in some multinational companies. Nevertheless, from the perspectives of climate change and noise pollution, cars and planes are the main culprits. If we can live a simple life without those conveniences, then it is greatly conducive to safeguarding our surrounding.
    On the other hand, perhaps with the development of technology, the harms caused will be lessened. More countries begin to realise that a deteriorating environment accompanies a comprehensive growth in people’s living standards and further affects economic development. If natural environment is in a mess, no other countries will be willing to invest there, so a harmonious surrounding is the foundation for a sound development of a country. Under such circumstances, green technology is the future direction for every country, and the balance between technology and environment is the top priority for national policy. As for me, however, I doubt that technological leap can be really compatible with the environment, and, honestly, the possibility is slim.
    Taking into account our poor environment, I hope that our life can return to nature, and every one of us drives less and is away from those modern inventions detrimental to environment. After all, it is easy to pollute while formidable to improve.
