这是一道双边讨论类大作文，分析当今最大的环境问题究竟是什么。有些人认为物种的消失是当前所面临的最大问题，而另外一些人却认为有比物种消亡更可怕的问题。对于双边讨论类大作文而言，可以支持A/B 方观点，在两方观点不矛盾的情况下也可以同时支持AB 双方观点。在这道题目中，AB 两个观点存在比较的意味，即如果认定物种消亡是主要问题，那么 B 观点自然不成立，因此不建议均衡支持两个观点，避免在内容分上被判定为“无明确立场。”

以支持A方观点为例：

1. 确实当前环境问题频发，每一个问题都不容忽视。

2. 但是在这些环境问题中，物种消亡问题是不可逆的，没有任何的方法可以挽救或缓解

3. 物种的消亡影响生态的稳定性，威胁人类和其他生物自身的生存与发展

【参考答案】

The sustainability of ecosystem, since directly determines the existence of all creatures on the Earth, has always drawn great concerns from all over the world.The booming population, however, together with the deterioration of environmental circumstances, have already threatened the maintenance of ecology.

Some people claim that contemporarily the major environmental problem lies in the extinction of certain species, which I strongly agree with.

Diversified environmental problems can be observed nowadays, which are quite urgent to be solved, admittedly. The well being of not only human beings, but also all species on the Earth rely greatly on the healthy operation of ecosystem, hence even a tiny problem should not be overlooked. The shortage of natural resources,the prevailing of environmental pollutions, the unpredictable climate change are all imminent dangers to all living creatures. It is never too cautious to focus on those potential crises to the environment.

People have already taken countermeasures, however, to tackle the aforementioned problems. The healthy and environmentally-friendly lifestyle has been cultivated for years, while countless numbers of innovative technologies have been created in order to check and balance the present situation. Consequently,lots of previous problems have been at least soothed, while the extinction of species, no matter plants or animals, cannot be reversed. Once a specific type of creature is lost, it is almost impossible to save it back to the nature. Compared to other environmental problems, the loss of species is the one that human beings cannot solve up until now. Considering from this perspective, the emergency of this problem deserves more concentration.

What is more, one of the crucial aspects of natural balance is the co-existence of diversified species. Once a particular kind of animal or plant is lost, the survival of other species may also be hugely influenced. The birds, for example, have been assumed as the most resistive type of species because of their flying and stronger endurance capabilities. Due to the deterioration of forest environment and loss of plants, huge numbers of bird species have also been died out. Once an irreversible extinction has happened, potential threats may also approach.

In my opinion, all environmental problems should be given sufficient attention,however once an extinction of a species emerges, it is too late to make any remedies.
