Một bài viết cho đề thi ngày 28/6 của một bạn học viên tại IELTS Vietop: Due to increasing world demands for oil and gas energy, people need to look for new sources of energy in remote and untouched natural places. Do advantages of locating these sources outweigh disadvantages damaging such places? With increasing demand for energy coming from oil and gas, countries from over the world are looking for alternative sources of energy in natural places that still remain intact. I am of the view that this act carries more disadvantages than advantages when the expenditure and the potential impacts on natural wildlife are being considered. First of all, in order to locate new oil and gas reserves, a lot of research and developments have to be carried out for an extensive period of time. This means that a big amount of money has to be invested in these projects. Apparently, many people are against it on the basis that they think the cost would have been better spent to assist third world countries to tackle famine and infectious diseases. Moreover, from a cost effective point of view, the expenditure of attempting to find new deposits of fossil fuels will be significantly reduced if renewable energy such as solar or wind power is considered to be a substitute for oil and gas to meet the energy demand. Another serious issue caused by this act is the potential threat posed to natural habitats. Normally, resources are deposited deep in the earth in far off places that are often homes to many wildlife species. Thus, when people try to explore and extract resources from those places, they inadvertently disrupt and damage the wildlife habitats there. In fact, numerous species have been on the edge of extinction since they have lost their homes to this kind of human activities. This has certainly raised the alarm in the wider community about the biodiversity and sustainability of the Earth ecosystem. In conclusion, while there are still multiple reasons as to why people should not try to find new sources of energy in remote and intact natural places, the aforementioned reasons are just the most convincing rationale in my opinion. It is highly recommended for countries to contemplate using renewable energy so as to avoid unnecessary drawbacks from looking for new oil and gas reserves. Bài viết này rất hay về từ vựng, grammar.
