passage 1 ：environmental problems are so big that they cannot be solved by any person or country alone. Instead, it should be solved at international level. To what extent do you agree or disagree. Environmental degradation has been recognized as one of the main challenges that we have to overcome in the 21st century. The rapid deterioration of environmental problems is believed to have posed a threat to our survival. To address this concern, countries worldwide should join forces, instead of working individually for their own targets. People support international cooperation for two reasons and the first point is that the impact of environmental problems is normally on a global scale. It is common knowledge that we share the same biosphere, whose components are interrelated. For example, a stream in one country can be polluted by the sewage dumped by its neighboring country. In other words, one country’s effort to tackle pollution can be futile if other countries are not involved. It should be noted that some countries do not have adequate resources(including capital and technology) to reduce pollution, even though these countries realise the importance of environmental protection. These countries can cooperate with developed countries, introduce technology and draw on experience so as to implement environmentally friendly policies continuously. Despite the importance of international cooperation, countries should take the initiative to implement some changes. It is fair to say that countries are confronted with different environmental problems. For instance, greenhouse gas emissions in china are mainly created by the electricity generation industry while those in the United States are primarily attributed to the increase in car use.
