WRITING TASK 2

You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

In the past, people ate local food in season. Now it is possible to have any kind of food from all over the world at any time of the year. 

Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Write at least 250 words.

全球化

【题目解析】

题目大意：在过去，人们吃的是本地应季食物。现在人们可以在一年中任何时间吃到世界各地的各种食物。这种发展的好处是否多于坏处？

【难点】与本题相似的题目在之前曾有出现（2018年5月19日，2016年8月13日）。但过往题目中未曾刻意提到in season和any time of the year的信息，本题也需要关注食物“季节性”和“任何时间”这个点，以便更准确地回应题目。此外，本题属于advantages outweigh disadvantages类型，因此好处与坏处均需要给出，切忌只对一方进行论述。

【解决】可以先发散思维，列出“人们可以在任何时间吃到世界各地的各种食物”的好处与坏处，确定立场之后安排文章结构，此类题目的结构方式可以有多种安排，包括主体段两段或三段式，先让步或后让步等，只要逻辑清晰论证充分有理即可。论点方面的时间概念可以通过使用“all year round”，“eat off-season food”等进行强调。

【写作思路】

开头段：改写题目，提供自己的立场，说明认为好处大于坏处。

主体第一段：论述题目现象的好处，从消费者和食品生产/出口方两个角度给出论点。对于消费者来说可以在全年确保营养物质的充分供给，并且可以在任何时间吃到本地不适合耕种的食物，因此对于身体和精神上的满足感都有提高；对于食品生产/出口方来说，一些高度依赖农产品出口的国家可以通过这种贸易获得大量订单，市场扩大使得一国经济和就业等都得到改善，有利于国家发展。

主体第二段：论述可能存在的环境问题；长途运输消耗燃料同时产生碳排放，加重全球变暖等气候问题，但实际上这只是环境问题的一个方面，事实上如果迫使一些国家不进口只发展自己的本土种植，那么所消耗的资源和造成的环境问题同样严峻。

结尾段：重申个人立场，表明由于环境影响难以简单计算，食品全球运输这个现象的好处更明显。

【参考范文】

Nowadays, people’s plates are piled high with plentiful and nutritious ingredients, many of which are shipped from other regions. Despite the increased carbon emission generated due to the long-distance trip, I believe the benefits of importing foods are more significant. 

The primary positive impact of this practice is that people can enjoy a more diversified diet instead of limited local food choices all year round. For instance, people in winter no longer fret about the lack of vegetables and fruits that cannot be grown in cold weather as most of them can be shipped from warmer areas. This continuous provision of essential nutrition and the excitement of having various off-season food can be conducive to both physical and mental well-being. Additionally, the cross-border food transport also contributes to economic progress. The global trade actually facilitates many countries’ economy, especially those heavily dependent on agricultural industries, since they can export the produce to an expanded market with bulk orders. This creates increased foreign incomes and more job opportunities for local people, two crucial factors in a nation’s prosperity.

On the other hand, it is true that environmental consequences arise from shipping food across the world. It is a common notion that compared with the distribution of domestically grown equivalents, the long-distance travel of foods involves greater consumption of fossils fuels and in turn a larger carbon footprint, which inevitably aggravates the already severe global warming problem. However, transport miles are just one component of environmental costs and the fact is importing foods can be more environmentally friendly for some countries like Canada and the UK due to their absence of suitable climate. Otherwise, they have to use heated plastic greenhouses for vegetables that are grown in hot climates, which requires more energy and generate amounts of plastic pollution, another two major environmental hazards.  

In conclusion, since the environmental expense cannot be measured by considering carbon emission only, I believe there are more advantages to increasing the availability of food shipped from other countries, both for consumers’ life and nations’ development.
