　　例文： Preserving Natural Resources

　　Through the changes in the ways of making a living in a family over several

　　generations， the cartoon aims at sounding a warning against man“s wasteful use

　　of natural resources and emphasizing the urgent need to preserve these resources.

　　Ever since man appeared on the earth， man“s survival has been heavily relied

　　on nature.Almost everything we use in our everyday life comes from nature，ranging

　　from the food we eat， the water we drink， to the wood which is turned into furiture.

　　With the development of technology and population growth， the amount and range

　　of materials used has increased at an alarming rate. However， natural resources are

　　not inexhaustible. Some reserves are already on the brink of exhaustion and there is

　　no hope of replacing them. The widespread water shortage is an example in point. If

　　man continued to squander natural resources with no thought for the future， the

　　later generations would end up selling sand， as is the case in the cartoon， and

　　the whole world would be in a mess.

　　Time is running out. It is up to us to take effective measures before the

　　situation gets out of hand.
