　　2016年12月大学英语四级作文范文：前人栽树 后人乘凉
        　　The images above are both meaningful and instructive: this man’s hard work
is not only forhis own benefit, but also for the benefit of future
generations.
        　　The pictures serve to remind us that the existence of our current happiness
and valuablenational heritage is due to the struggles of our predecessors.
        　　We, in turn, should also work hard in order to guarantee the comfort and
safety ofgenerations to come. Sustainable development has become a topic of
heated debate in recentyears. While it is justifiable to satisfy current
demands, we cannot neglect the needs of ourdescendants in the process. Our
children also depend on Earth’s natural resources and weshould not deprive them
of such necessities.
        　　Unfortunately, many people only think of their short?term, personal
interests. An entireforest might be clear?cut, in the interest of making a
profit, without a single tree planted in itsplace. This inconsiderate attitude
towards the welfare of our descendants, as well theindifference to the outcome
of such reckless actions, can only turn Earth into a cold andlifeless planet.
People must be taught to appreciate Earth as not only their home, but also
thehome of our children and grandchildren, as well as all other plants and
animals.
        　　While making great efforts to increase our current quality of life, we must
simultaneouslyconsider how our actions will affect future lives.
