　　参考范文：

　　The picture depicts a person dumping a nearly full plate of food into an overflowing trashcan, while the writing on the trashcan indicates that the value of food wasted on the dinner table in our country amounts to sixty billion RMB each year.

　　The cartoon implies that much of the waste could be avoided, as the trash includes an entire fish and an entire chicken. By showing one person throwing away most of his or her dinner, it places the responsibility for conservation squarely on individuals' shoulders, and by showing only the arms of the anonymous individual it implies that each and every one of us is responsible for the problem.

　　While it is true that individuals should take responsibility for the environment and conservation, I also believe that the government ought to implement programs to encourage and reward individuals for reducing the amount of waste that they produce. Only such a combination of individual action and government support will be effective in substantially reducing our waste and improving the environment.
