4.[1]Wearefacedwithmoreandmoreenvironmentalproblemsnowadayssuchasclimatechangeenvironmentalpollutionandecologicalimbalance.Theseproblemswillultimatelydogreatharmtohumanbeings.Seriousasthesituationismanypeople[1]Wearefacedwithmoreandmoreenvironmentalproblemsnowadays,suchasclimatechange,environmentalpollution,andecologicalimbalance.Theseproblemswillultimatelydogreatharmtohumanbeings.Seriousasthesituationis,manypeople解析：本文標(biāo)題是“淪環(huán)境保護(hù)的重要性”，所以盡管outline中提到環(huán)境惡化、很多人不注意環(huán)境保護(hù)等內(nèi)容，但這些內(nèi)容似乎都不應(yīng)該作為重點(diǎn)，而只能是不可缺少的“引子”，作文論述的重點(diǎn)應(yīng)該還是正面闡述“重要性”。

環(huán)境保護(hù)問題當(dāng)然是“老生常談”，但動(dòng)筆具體寫的時(shí)候，卻讓人為難，可能總是轉(zhuǎn)不出“環(huán)境保護(hù)對(duì)人類的生存至關(guān)重要”這么一條理由。如何闡述理由，使這些理由相互關(guān)聯(lián)卻又截然不同，顯得層次分明，是考生寫作思路訓(xùn)練的重點(diǎn)。

Analysis

[1]第一段可以把outline中相應(yīng)內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)要介紹一下。

[2]前一句中的讓步結(jié)構(gòu)(seriousasthesituationis)運(yùn)用巧妙，而這一句就給出主題句。

[3][4]關(guān)于環(huán)保的重要性，能夠給出什么理由呢?這里只列了兩條：環(huán)?？梢哉鹊厍颉覀兩娴募覉@；只有環(huán)保才能讓我們擁有健康生存所需要的資源。理由只列兩條時(shí)，可以使用foronething…foranother的套話引出。注意，這里的兩條理由之間沒有重復(fù)交叉。如果舉出四五條理由，只不過分別說環(huán)保使我們得到干凈的水、空氣、土壤、糧食等等，雖然不算錯(cuò)，但內(nèi)容上是重復(fù)的，說服力就不夠。

[5]結(jié)尾段重復(fù)一遍主題是必要的，注意語言上要有變化。本文用到important，importance，significant和vital等不同的詞表示“重要”，所以語言就富有變化。
