Since the reform and opening up policy was made, China has developed rapidly, with a growth of extraordinary five times increa in GDP over the last 30 years. Having long been a driving force for the world's economic development, Chine economic registered an annual growth of 8% percent, and its rate of contribution to the world economy ro from 2.3 percent in 1978 to 8.9 % in 2011, and it is expected to be ranked cond worldwide. Owing to its huge development, China has become a member of the world's major rising markets and incread influence on the global economy. To many experts, China's economic success is a miracle of Asia and the world as well.
However, though China has finished most of the targets to improve residents’ living stand
ard, the targets for environment were not done well. Building development, for instance, is in mass confusion. Chine building technique is primitive which requires large amounts of materials. Data has shown that in 2003 China poured 44% of the world's cement and decorative colorful brick which is much more than tho in western countries. What’s more, in order to boom the economic, Chine exploited large number of coal, oil, and any other natural resources, many of which are non-renewable.
“China should not follow the old path of pollution first and then treatment,” premier Wen Jiabao said. “We should leave green mountains and clear water to our offspring.” Now that China's infrastructure was improved, the commercial market was enriched, and the Chine people's living standard was greatly enhanced. It is high time we took measures to balance between economic growth and environment.
First and foremost, in order to develop environmental friendly, Chine government can carry out preferential手工小礼物 policies for tho enterpris which develop with lower pollution. Meanwhile, the government should toughen law-enforcement and protect the environmen
t in line with the law. Enterpris which consume huge energy and cau high pollution will be punished or shut down.
Secondly, Chine government should try to prerve natural resources. According to premier Wen, “we should not only focus our eyes on economic growth, instead we should pay attention to energy conrvation and environmental protection,"

L珍珠泉ast but not least, China should carry out special programs to treat environmental pollution, especially the treatment of water, air and land pollution.
All tho who have been to China were deeply impresd by the hopeful and dynamic atmosphere. However, China can not make a further development easily unless we accelerate the transformation of economic development pattern. In tho cas, a sustainable society is needed; a balance between development and environment derves everyone’s attention.
英语辩论——环境保护 VS 经济发展(经济发展正方） Which should receive priority in Chi
na? Environmental protection or economic growth. 正 方 陈 词 ： Good morning everyone! We are here now debating about whether environment protection or economy growth should take priority in China, we think it’s environment growth that should be chon. I have three reasons to prove this point. First, as a developing country, the economy power is far behind the developed counties, China have one fifth of the people in the world, but the微波炉美食 income of per head is only in 109th among countries. So the urgent affair of China is developing our economy. Second, economy growth doesn’t necessarily conflict with environment protection. We can develop our economy without environment pollution. Third, when our economy strength becomes strong, we can spend more money and energy on environment protection, till then it will be a win-win. In a word, considering the current situations, economy growth should take priority in China. 反方陈词：We agree economic growth is needed. But think about the past decades, we followed the old model of “first pollution, last treatment”, however, how did it come out? The environment problems have become increasingly prominent, and some local regions’ environment has been polluted to a dangerous extent that pos a great threat to our exi
stence. What’s more, the cost was too high and the effect was not up to much. By this means, it placed us in a completely passive position. At the same time the people started voicing new values: quality of life, urban conrvation and the environment. So, we must get to the bottom of the problem and learn from the past. That is, in the cour of development, we should consider the effect of pollution and receive environment protection in first priority. Only in this way can we solve the environmental problems in 滋组词the future reasonably. That’s all I want to say. 自由辩论 正方二辩：We all know that in many places of china like many poor countries, where the environment is pretty good, there are thousands people lack of money for the food the need to live. Then, opponent debaters, do you think we still need to develop our economies? 反方二辩：But opponent debaters can’t ignore the fact that most areas of China have solved the problem of food and clothing at prent . Furthermore, the level of economic development in many cities in eastern China is very high .But the pollution is pretty rious accordingly. We have money, but being under the sub health condition. Does it make any n, opponent debaters? 正方三辩：There do exist some eastern cities who economy is quite develo
ped, but you forget that China has 130 million people. The eastern cities can’t stand for the whole China. We know that environment protection need high-technology, High-tech personnel, and science rearch. They all need a lot of money, and money is created by economy. I want to ask my fellow debater that can we protect our environment well without strong economy strength. 反 方 三 辩 ： Environmental protection needs economy . But we can’t sacrifice the environment for the economic growth. If you drink polluted water, eat the toxic food, can we have a high quality of life? Economic development must be on the premi of environmental protection. The policy of “returning farmland to forests and grass” slow down the speed of economic development to protect 情话问答the environment. Dos it show that the environmental protection is more important? 正方：Opponent debaters have referred the returning farmland to forest policy. We admit our country has paid a lot of money for the environment even sacrificing the profit .But we should still take economic construction as the central task. 反方： admit economic construction is our country’s principle task .But we have to insist We on sustainable development while developing economy. We must attach great importance to
the protection of the natural environment in the process of economic development. 总结： 正方总结：Our opponent said , ” we can’t sacrifice the environment for 红薯种植the economic growth” .I think what they said can’t come true at prent . It’s unavoidable to harm the environment while developing economy. 反方总结: Our opponent said ” the urgent affairs of china is developing our economy” .The goal we develop the economy today is to create a happy and comfortable life for people in the future . If the economic growth lead to the pollution of the environment, can we live a better life? The excessive economic growth has caud the设备编码 greenhou effect, which lead to a-level ris. As a result, thousands of coastal dweller has to face the fate of the migration. Moreover, the opponent also said,” when our economy strength become strong, we can spend more money and energy on environment protection.” I want to question that when the animals and plants have died out, what the opponent debater protect with the money and energy. If the economic growth delays for two years, we can wait two years to develop it .But, if the environmental protection delays two years, the species will be extinct, the resources will exhaust. The urgency like this can’t wait. So our side advocates the environmental protection should receive priority in China. Thank you.
