  The Ups and Downs of Population Growth

  It is well-known that there has been a drastic increase in world population. Butit is probably less well-known that the distinction rate of wildlife species isexperiencing a parallel trend. Take the situation in the United States for example: In 1990 U.S. population reached an unprecedented level of 250 million, which is approximately 250 times of that of 1800. On the other hand, wildlife species are disappearing from the country at an alarming rate: by 1900, about 70 wildlife species would never be seen in U.S.

  Judging by the figures, we are fully justified in declaring that the explosive population growth has had an adverse effect on the survival of wildlife species, and will be a constant threat to the wildlife resources if no immediate actions are taken.

  In the last two centuries, as industrialization and man's thirst for material goods grew, the earth's natural covering of vegetation has been under constant encroachment, and the natural balance in the biological world was altered in a variety of ways. The rapid destruction of the tropical rain forests which are the ecosystems with the highest known species diversity on earth has led to vast-scalehabitat destruction. Overgrazing, pollution are also accountable for the high extinction of wildlife species, which have to fend for themselves in unfamiliar environments, and die out when they can't cope with the situation well.

  To sum up, nothing has ever equaled the magnitude and speed with which the humanspecies is altering the physical and chemical world and demolishing the environment. It is high time that we recognized the significance of biological diversity in all ecosystems. Population growth shall no longer go unchecked, more natural habitats of wildlife species should be consciously restored.(288 words)

  【范文二】得分11分

  The Ups and Downs of Population Growth

  As we can see from the given graph, the American population has been growing rapidly in the last two centuries. From 1800 to 1990, it has grown from 2 million to 250 million. But there is another noticeable trend: a large amount of wildlifespecies which were living in America are no longer in existence in the 1900s.

  It is obvious from the graph that there is a collateral relationship between thetwo curves: the explosive growth of U.S. population has undoubtedly brought about a high extinction rate of wildlife species. There may be two reasons. First of all, as more and more people come to make a living in the country, they have to occupy more lands and turn forestssintoscorn fields to plant foods. Secondly, as industrialization grew the environment is polluted and unfit to the wildlife species to live in.

  If man want to enjoy a continuous growth of economy, we must learn to live side by side with our“neighbors”, by which I mean the wildlife species. We have tomaintain the natural balance and biological diversity to live a better life. Therefore, we must keep the population under control and keep the remaining naturalhabitats intact. Only in this way can we keep a good relationship with nature.(215 words)

  【范文点评】

  文章内容切题,包括图中说明“effect”的有关信息;条理清楚,语言流畅,有说服力,句子的结构和用词没有什么重大的错误。但是应该用unfit for someone to do something,不能用unfit to someone...;同时,在最后一段中,人称应该保持一致。如果用we就都用we。如果用man作主语,物主代词应该用he。文章长度符合要求。

  【范文三】得分8分

  The Ups and Downs of Population Growth

  The graph shows us that the U.S. population was only 2 million but in 1990 the number has grown to 250 million. But the other graph tells us that within 300 years the extinction rate of wildlife species has also grown at a rapid rate. So we can draw the conclusion that as the population grows, the number of wildlife species becomes less and less.

  There may be some reasons: first, as more and more people are living in the U. S., human beings have to drive away or kill the wild animals to get living space.Also they have to cut down the forests to get lands from which they cultivate crops and get their foods. The third reason is that the industrialization broughtpollution which has also taken away the live of wild animals.

  As far as I am concerned, I think human beings should slow down the growing rateof population and pay more attention to wildlife protection, which constitute apart of the food chain. If no such measures are taken, man himself will face the threat of extinction some day in the future.(189 words)

  【范文点评】

  文章内容基本切题,基本包括了图中说明“effect”的有关信息,说理也比较清楚,思路清晰。但是句子结构和用词出现了一些错误,比如单复数问题和冠词的使用等,而且句式稍嫌单调,有中文式的英文的印象。文章长度符合要求。

  【范文四】得分5分

  The Ups and Downs of Population Growth

  As to show in the drawing, the people in the U.S. from 1800 to 1900 appeared a big increase. But we also see the number of extinct wildlife species rose greatly. Based on these numbers we can see that the wildlife extinction is caused by the increase of U. S. population.

  I think there is at least two reasons. For the first, more and more people they destroy the nature, many wildlife cannot live in the damaged environment.Second. many lifes were killed by people for food. But there may be also some changes of nature to blame.

  Our enviorment is destroyed. Wildlife animals disapear, but we must protect wildlife. Otherwise we will have big difficulty to live ourself.(120 words)

  【范文点评】

  文章基本切题,内容尚可理解,并且基本是围绕所给提纲展开的。但是出现了较多的拼写、用词和语法错误。比如,as to show应为as is shown, drawing应为graph, there is应为there are, lifes应为lives, disapear应为disappear等,此外还有病句,句子开头没有大写等一些体现出作者基本功比较差的问题。并且文章长度不符合要求。

  【范文五】得分2分

  The Ups and Downs of Population Growth

  Acording two graphs. It can see that a growing of US population numbers an the decreesing of wildlife numbers.

  But why be this so? Someone say it because the large population ocupy the animal room. Some one also say the big population result pollution to the people. And also there is other reason: some one kill animals to eat.

  The main important resution is to keep the population to control and strict law to stop people kill animal.(78 words)

  【范文点评】

  文章基本按照题目要求写作,但是几乎没有一个完整无错误的句子。出现多处拼写和语法错误,有些句子无法理解。字数也和考试要求相差甚远。
