参考范文

As is depicted in the picture, weather is becoming so hot that the duck even feels that the pig smells like bacon. A little exaggerated though it sounds, it is an indisputable fact that global warming is becoming increasingly severe. 1

Global warming has negative effects on many aspects. 2 Firstly 3 , global warming may cause the icebergs to melt, which may lead to a rise in sea level. As a result, some island nations will be submerged by the sea. Secondly 3 , due to global warming, natural disasters occur frequently, such as floods, hurricanes and so on. Thirdly 3 , the ecological balance will be destroyed and many creatures will disappear for ever with the aggravation of global warming. Fourthly 3 , the cost to compensate for the loss caused by global warming will be huge.

In conclusion, global warming is a serious problem. We should pay more attention to it. Let’s take actions, start from ourselves, advocate the low-carbon way of life, and contribute our efforts to the protection of the planet. 4

正如图中所描述的，气候变得如此之热，以至于图中的鸭子甚至感到，它对面的猪已经散发出熏肉的味道。 虽然听起来有些夸张，但是全球变暖日益严重是不争的事实。

全球变暖带来的危害是多方面的。首先，全球变暖可能会导致冰山融化，海平面上升，结果，一些岛国将被海水淹没。第二，由于全球气候变暖，洪水、飓风等自然灾害频发。第三，生态平衡将遭到破坏，许多生物会随着全球变暖加剧而永远消失。第四，为弥补因全球变暖带来的损失，我们将付出沉重的代价。

总之，全球变暖是很严重的问题，我们应该更加重视这个问题。让我们行动起来，从自身做起，倡导低碳生活方式，为保护地球贡献自己的力量。

句法点评

1. A little exaggerated though it sounds, it is an indisputable fact that global warming is becoming increasingly severe.

全句是包含though引导的让步状语从句的复合句。though引导的让步状语从句使用了倒装语序，改成正常语序应该是Though it sounds a little exaggerated。后半句为该复合句的主句，主句句首的it为形式主语，真正的主语是后面that引导的从句。

2. Let’s take actions, start from ourselves, advocate the low-carbon way of life, and contribute our efforts to the protection of the planet.

使用祈使句感召力更强，take，start，advocate和contribute四个动词排比使用，更有气势。
