雅思写作高分范文：21世纪进步与挑战

英语自学网

　　Many people are optimistic to the 21st century and see it as a opportunity
to make positive changes to the world. To what extend do you agree or disagree
with their optimistism? What changes would you like to be made in the new
century?
        　　Entering the new millennium, our world has reached its peak in the
development of society, economy and technology. Faced with opportunities and
challenges, we should take a rational attitude and be confident about the
future.
        　　First of all, technology has brought us advances and challenges. For
instance, more families own private cars. We have more leisure time to enjoy on
weekends. Information technology brings people closer in communication. However,
the environmental pollution is accelerating. The air we breathe smells like gas
from cars. And the food we eat may be contaminated with harmful chemicals
discharged from plants into underground water. While the economic development
has made our life more comfortable, it has also polarized the society in the
distribution of wealth. More wealth is held by a very small percentage of the
population, leaving millions of people struggling to make a bare existence.
        　　Secondly, long-existing problems have not been solved in spite of the
constant progress of our society. Millions of people are still suffering from
poverty and wars. There are other problems such as how to find cure for new
diseases, how to solve the threatening energy crisis, how to deal with
globalization issues, and how to achieve lasting peace with the possibility of a
nuclear war.
        　　There are too many changes we want to bring to our world. But the primary
ones are: I want to help people in the world no longer suffer from hunger and
wars. I want to get the pollution under control and clean up the polluted
places. I also desire a peaceful, rich, healthy, beautiful planet for everyone
in the 21st century.
        　　To conclude, in the 21st century, we face opportunities and challenges.
While the progresses are significant and wonderful, old problems still remain.
We need to work hard to put a stop to issues such as world hunger, wars, and
environmental pollution to make the world a better place for all.
