　　Write an essay of 160—200 words based on the following pie charts. In your essay, you should first describe the pie charts, then interpret its meaning, and give your comment on it.

　　You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)

　　As is apparently raled in the pie charts above, forty-eight percent of people surveyed have nr heard of the International No Motor Vehicle Day while fifty-sn percent are willing to give up driving on such a day. What is betrayed in the pie charts is most thought-provoking.

　　The implied meaning of the pie charts is both disappointing and exciting. On the one hand, much necessary work still needs to be done with respect to environmental protection. The public ignorance of relevant environmental protection results from inadequate and limited popularity of environmental protection knowledge by relevant government departments at different lls. Since environmental protection is an international issue, we must constantly introduce the advanced and practical practice in other countries to our general public. Only in this way can we promote environmental protection in China. On the other hand, the enhancement of the public awareness of environmental protection is a welcome dlopment. Over the past years, as people’s living standard improves, people attach importance to the quality of their life. They have a better understanding of the relationship between environment and their daily life. As a result, they are interested in following positive international models. In sum, we have got a mixed feeling toward the very fact raled in the pie charts.

　　In my view, necessary measures should be immediately taken to ensure a nice environment. First of all, government departments at all lls must play a active role in popularizing international experience and practice of environmental protection. What’s , the general public should be encouraged to participate actively in environmental protection. Only in this way can we live in a healthy and harmonious environment. (278 words)
