1 It is now possible for scientists and tourists to travel to remote natural environments, such as the South pole. Do advantages outweigh disadvantages? Steps Methods Analyse 1 Topics types: report; agree/disagree pros/cons 2 Outline:function of each paragraph Support paragraphs? concession? refutation? reasons? 3 Logic in the topic: a: pros / cons a-c: cause-effect c: causes pros/cons: Do advantages outweigh disadvantages pros/cons: if more pros than cons Body 1: 3 pros ( 立论 ) Body 2: 2 cons support paragraphs pros/cons 4 keywords remote natural environments scientists and tourists Q: remote A: situated far from the main centers of population Q: Why do they travel to those places? A: scientists: research tourists: the unique natural scenery Q: features of remote areas A: fragile environment-ecosystems are easily to be disturbed unknown and challenging weather conditions threaten tourists health

2 10 mins planning for other students Intro: There are more pros than cons Body 1: 3 pros Pro1: learn more a. traveling to remote areas allows tourists to experience some aspects of the nature which are not accessible on mass media ( appreciate the unique natural scenery, observing wildlife and their habitats directly) b. expand their views Pro2: learn effectively a: traveling to remote areas gives tourists the first-hand exposure to the nature b: learn about the nature in an engaging manner c: facilitate their learning about ecosystems ( accelerate learning) Pro3: a: scientists can collect valuable data for research on ecosystems, b: accelerate the speed of research and enhance the reliability of results c: benefit our future e.g. weather forecast, conserve endangered animals, global warming Recipes: It is a that b and c If sth had not happened, sth would not have happened

3 Body 2: 2 cons Con1: pollution a. lure a large number of visitors b. cause human activities that are harmful to the environment using transportation tools throwing trashes in the nature c. jeopardize habitats of flora and fauna e.g. use of vehicles-carbon dioxide emissions-global warming Con2: health a. weather conditions in remote areas are unknown and challenging b. threaten people s health ( make sb vulnerable to ailments or dangers) c. e.g. some people died in South pole due to the low temperature or natural disasters such as snow storm etc

4 abc in red It is now possible for scientists and tourists to travel to remote natural environments, such as the South pole. Do advantages outweigh disadvantages? Nowadays, visiting to areas, such as Antarctica, that are away from our living places is no longer an unrealistic dream. I think this trend has more benefits than drawbacks. Numerous merits will be listed and explained in this paragraph. Firstly, traveling to remote areas allows tourists to learn about some aspects of the nature that are not accessible on mass media, thereby broadening their views. For example, they can appreciate the unique natural scenery like icebergs, observe rare wildlife and their habitats closely, which expands their knowledge on ecosystems(50words). They can also comprehend those knowledge effectively (c), since the first-hand exposure to the environment enables them to learn in an engaging manner. ( 25 words) Additionally, the possibility of going to distinct areas can facilitate research on topics including weather forecasting, endangered species conservation and global warming, and etc (c). This is because valuable data and samples can be collected from those areas ( a) so that the reliability of research results will be enhanced. (b)(42 words) 135 words recipes: a verb b, thereby c For example, a verb b, which c c, since a verb b c. This is because a so that b However, the associated problems cannot be ignored. The most obvious concern is the damage on ecosystems. If those destinations lure a large number of visitors, human activities will increase, jeopardising habitats of flora and fauna. For instance, it is reported that the ever-increasing tourists in Antarctic area has exacerbated global warming, threatening the survival of lots of animals. ( 54 words) What is more, the challenging weather

5 conditions in untouched areas will make tourists vulnerable to ailments or even lose their lives. Undeniably, it is mainly the harsh weather in Mount Everest that has caused the death of many mountain climbers and scientists. ( 46 words) 109 words In summary, though visiting to distinct areas will cause negative impacts, they can be avoided by releasing strict environment protection laws and offering tourists training to cope with challenging weathers. Therefore, the prevalence of this tourism has pros than cons. / ( positive influences than risks)
