The following are my reasons. First of all, we should do everything in our power to protect our delicate environment. Organic farming, with no chemical fertilisers, can keep the soil rich. As a result, it's sure that organic farming is good to the environment. With more and more people diagnosed with cancer, we should pay more attention to our food. Organic farming produces food full of minerals and vitamins, which is nutritious. The better food we eat, the less likely we are to develop disease. Lastly, all of us know that food produced in the traditional chemical way tastes bad. However, organic food is more delicious, which helps us have a good appetite. In a word, I think organic farming is better. 词汇 清单 核心短语 应用词汇:1.digest: digestion n.; digestive adj. 2. essential : be essential to/for,It is essential that ...(should) do, It is essential to do ... 3.alternative: an alternative to..., have no alternative but to do sth., have the alternative of doing sth. 4.instance: for instance;in this instance in turn, over time, for instance, focus on, keep...from..., have no impact on, conduct a research, set up, carry out, separate...from 认知词汇:fertiliser, flavour;alleviate, poverty, pesticide, bacterium 拓展词汇:chemical chemistry,nutrition nutritional nutritious;organic organically; depth deep deepen Summary Therefore,there is still a long way to find a suitable solution that puts sufficient food on the dinner table while keeping people and the environment as healthy as possible.(as...as possible) 重点句式 1.(2023 全国乙卷)They also remove some harmful _(化学物质) from paints or cooking. 2.The elderly and children are having a hard time in the_(最深处) of winter. 3.Plants in desert usually have long_(根). 4.The government has taken measures to help people get rid of_(贫穷). 5.(2023 新课标II卷)A new study shows that wildness in u_ areas is extremely important for human well-being.
