“范文”
There used to be① many kinds of birds which ate pests② and protected crops. They are good friends of peasants.
But the number of③ the birds has been greatly reduced④, because too much poison⑤ is used. As a result⑥, the number of the pests has increased. The peasants spent a lot of money and time in killing⑦ them every year, but it is still hard to eliminate(or: get rid of)⑧ them.
Now you can see how important it is for us to profect wild animals and to keep the balance of nature⑨. Only when everyone knows this can we live a more beautiful life.

“点评:”
这是一篇根据提纲提示展开的议论文。
本文是一篇三段式的议论文。前两段,作者谈到一种自然和社会现象:鸟吃害虫,为保护庄稼,人们用过量农药杀虫,但同时也引起鸟的数量大大减少,结果害虫大量增加。由此论据论证了这样的观点:保护生态平衡的重要性。这也是最后一段得出的结论。在文中,作者使用了There used to be…作为文章开头,然后用but, now过渡,分别引出后两段,层次分明,条理清晰。而且,文中运用了定语从句、状语从句、并列句、倒装句等多种句型,这表明作者有很强的语言表达能力。
全文结构紧凑、连贯,句型多样,时态正确,过渡自然,语言流畅,是一篇优秀范文。
