以色列雅思真题
》Nowadays both scientists and tourists can go to remote natural environments such as South Pole. Do you think the advantages of this development outweigh the advantages?
Example Essay:
Scientists are not the only few hundreds attracted to Antarctic as every year tens of thousands of people are also going there on a short tour of the ice, the water, the wildlife, the solitude, and the homeland of penguins. The hordes of visitors--by South Pole standards-- can pose a threat for the vulnerable areas at the bottom of the globe. After so many notorious human behaviors harming the planet's eco-system, who can actually believe that this trend can be something like eco-tourism ?
It is understandable that much of scientific research on Antarctic is devoted to unraveling the mysteries of the universe in general and evaluating the influence of global warming in particular. And this must be considered as a positive development since scientists are making efforts to look into even the remotest natural environments such as South Pole. The case with tourists is of course different. Although the time that tourists spend visiting Antarctic is relatively short in duration, comparatively high is the impact that each visitor has on its fragile eco-system. Besides, the manner in which they get there, either by ship or by plane, is polluting the last frontiers on earth. That is to say, more tourism, more contamination.
That tourism has increased dramatically on Antarctic in recent years is anything but good news to both environmentalists and animals alike, including penguins. As international tourism grows, many passengers can afford an expedition to the realm of penguins once in a lifetime. At this point, it is interesting to add that movies such as "Happy Feet" and "The March of Penguins" may have encouraged penguin tourism to jump, which has certainly given rise to more pressures on penguin colonies. The growing tourist invasion is taking its toll on the continent, and in one incident years ago an oil spill was reported due to a cruise running aground with a huge iceberg. Due partly to such kind of damage as caused by human activities, there is a serious push to limit the number of persons other than scientists to visiting Antarctic. Scientists there have begun worrying about more unexpected visitors to come, and further calling for the need to introduce new regulations.
In conclusion, seemingly innocent tourism should not entirely be acceptable when it comes to earnestly protecting natural environments in the South Pole. Perhaps some places on the planet are not meant to be visited by tourists, and some places can only be visited by scientists. After all, it is better to think that penguins along with all other living things in the habitat need no tourist money to survive with, let alone man-made tunes to dance to.
