3. Essay
第一段：
Environmental degradation has been recognised as one of the main challenges that we have to overcome in the 21st century.
The rapid deterioration of environmental problems is believed to have posed a serious threat to our survival.
In order to (solve)address this concern, countries worldwide should join force instead of (setting up its own organ and acting on its own will)working individually for their own targets.
第二段：
People support international cooperation for two reasons and the first point is that the impact of environmental problems is normally on a global scale. It is common knowledge that we share the same biosphere, whose components are interrelated. For example, a stream in one country can be polluted by the sewage dumped by its neighbouring country. In other words, one country's effort can be futile unless(if) other countries are(are not) involved. It should also be noticed that some countries do not have adequate resource including capital and technology to reduce/abate pollution, even though these countries realise the importance of environmental protection. These countries can cooperate with developed countries, introduce technologies and draw on experience so as to implement(carry out) environmentally friendly policies continuously.
Although international cooperation is important (Despite the importance of international cooperation), countries should take initiative to implement some changes.
It is fair to say that countries are confronted with different environmental problems.
For instance, greenhouse gas emissions in China are mainly created by the electricity generation industry while those in the Unite States are primarily attributed to the increase in car use.
