2011年考研英语一大作文题目及参考范文

As is vividly depicted in the drawing, two tourists are sitting on a boat enjoying the scenery. However, they are casually throwing rubbish—such as bottles, cans and food wrappers—into the lake, completely ignoring the fact that their behavior is polluting the very environment they are appreciating. The caption reads: “The ‘Remains’ of a Journey.”

The picture conveys a thought-provoking message about environmental protection. Many people, while enjoying the beauty of nature, fail to realize that their irresponsible actions are destroying it. The garbage they leave behind not only spoils the landscape but also poses a serious threat to the ecosystem. The cartoonist intends to remind us that tourism should never come at the expense of the environment.

In my view, urgent measures should be taken to address this problem. First, public awareness of environmental protection must be raised through education and media campaigns. Second, stricter regulations should be enforced to punish those who litter in scenic spots. Third, every individual should develop a sense of responsibility and treat nature with respect. Only by combining these efforts can we ensure that future generations will also be able to enjoy the beauty of our planet.
