In the past, people only ate food that was grown locally in season, but now people can eat food from all over the world at any time of the year. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
【句子示例】 The major concerns stem from an excessive consumption of petrol and consequently higher carbon emissions associated with long-distance food transportation, and unavoidable waste caused by food spoilage.
2. 文脉逻辑维度(Coherence and Cohesion) 由于提问类型是Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?需要写作者分析好和坏,并且得出结论“好是否大于坏”,不能使用“一边倒”结构,即:只写好处或者只写坏处的文章结构。如果打算得出”好处更多“的结论,写作者可以单独写一段描述这个现象的好处(比如:人们的选择更多,对经济有促进作用)。 在写完这个趋势的弊端之后,写作者可以在同一段提到科技(比如:冷链物流cold chain logistics)可以减少食物腐败产生的浪费,从而削弱“对立面”提到的负面影响。
4. 语法和句型维度(Grammatical Range and Accuracy) 本句的主语是 "The major concerns"。谓语是 "stem from",表示”……由某事引起“。谓语后面and连词并列了宾语部分。其中有两个过去分词作后置定语的语法现象:associated with和caused by,分别修饰的前面的名词carbon emissions和waste。
