Some people think that environmental problems are too big for individuals to deal with. Others, however, think that each individual should take some actions. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

　　考題分析：本題是一道典型的雅思環境類寫作考題。在歷屆雅思寫作環境類話題中，出題思路主要有以下三個方面：

　　1.環境保護是誰的責任?考題給出的選項通常會有個人、公司、國家、國際合作等。

　　2.怎樣保護環境?考題通常會給出某個方案問其正確與否。

　　3.為什么人們明知環境正在被破壞卻無動于衷例?

　　如果考前對以上三方面的雅思寫作真題都思考過，相信本題一定會變的很簡單，實際上只要把一些理由進行組合就可以了。由于考題的提問形式是Discuss both views and give your own opinion. 所以，既要討論到個人能夠采取何種行動解決一些環境問題，也要討論為什么有些環境問題個人無法解決。Sample Answer:

　　It is true that our tiny individual actions often seem insignificant compared to the scale and complexity of global environmental problems such as pollution, deforestation and depletion of natural resources. But that does not relieve our duty as individuals to do as much as we can to deal with these problems.

　　Individual actions, small as they may be, can prove more effective than we realize. We can avoid driving the car, and take public transit, walk, or bicycle instead. This will reduce the use of fossil fuels and cut pollution. Saving energy at home, like turning on the air conditioner only when we have to, or turning water heater down a few degrees, is also ultimately good for the environment. Individual actions can also turn into united powers when, for example, the whole neighborhood is mobilized to participate in a local campaign to oppose environmentally damaging policies.

　　There are, however, obstacles that stand in the way of individual action towards environmental conservation. The first obstacle is the lack of professional knowledge needed to cope with serious environmental issues like soil erosion and salinity, which require a significant amount of investigation and research. Another obstacle which makes individual action almost impossible is when an environmental emergency or accident happens, e.g. an oil spill near the bord der line, which would necessitate government intervention or even international coordination.

　　So, in conclusion, when it comes to environmental problems, individual actions are indispensable in the problem solving process. But the most pressing and complicated problems go far beyond an individuals capability and so require the concerted effort of the government as well as the global community.
