The End of the World|假如世界末日来临

　　

提 示：

　　全球暖化造成气候剧烈变迁，关于旱灾、水灾的报导更是层出不穷，让人不禁担心地球未来的命运。从现代电影到古马雅历都提及 2010 年地球即将毁灭，如果这是真的，那你会在世界末日之前做什么事呢？请写一篇约 120 至 150 个单词（words）的英文作文，文分两段，第一段以 Some people believe that the world will end in 2012. 为主题句；第二段则以 If the world were to end in 2012, what would I do? 为主题句并加以发展。

写作前后（Pre-writing & Post-writing）

　　根据提示，第一段除了叙述有人认为 2012 年世界末日即将来临外，可以列举可能会发生什么毁灭性的事件导致地球的毁灭或人类的灭亡。

　　第二段则描述要是世界末日真的会在 2012 年发生，自己会怎么做？列举出几项自己想做的事情，并简略描述想这么做的原因，会让人更明白这么做的用意为何。结尾时可带出自己想和亲爱的家人朋友一起分享这些经验，或一起等待世界末日的来临。

第一段主题句：有人认为 2012 年世界末日即将来临。

Some people believe that the world will end in 2012.

第一段发展句：一些像是核战或是毁灭性洪水等灾难事件会发生而导致人类文明毁灭。更糟的是，人类可能会灭绝。

a.  Something disastrous like a nuclear war or a devastating flood may happen, causing civilization to be destroyed.

b.  Even worse, mankind might become extinct.

第二段主题句：要是世界末日真的在 2012 年发生，我会怎么做？

If the world were to end in 2012, what would I do?

第二段发展句：我会去环游世界，看看所有我曾在书本上读过的地方。我会去参观吉萨金字塔、去南极大陆体验最寒冷的环境，以及到亚马逊雨林旅行。

a.  I would travel around the globe to see all the places I have read about in books.

b.  I would visit the Giza Pyramids to experience the spectacular structures.

c.  I would also go to Antarctica to experience the extremely cold environment there.

d.  Traveling to the Amazon Rainforest would also be on my list.

等我回到家里，我会和亲爱的家人朋友分享这些独特的经历。

When I got back home, I would share these unique experiences with my family and friends.

第二段结论句：我们会一起等待看看世界是否真的在 2012 年毁灭。

Then we would wait together to see if the world really comes to an end in 2012.

范 文：

Some people believe that the world will end in 2012. Something disastrous such as a nuclear war or a devastating flood may take place, and civilization will be destroyed. What's worse, mankind might become extinct.

If the world were to end in 2012, what would I do? I would travel around the world to see all the places I have only read about in books. I would visit the Pyramids of Giza to experience the mighty structures that ancient people built with primitive methods. I would also go to Antarctica to experience the extremely cold environment there. Traveling through the Amazon Rainforest would also be on my list. I would observe the lifestyles and customs of the locals as well as learn about the various animals and plants in the rainforest. When I got back home, I would share these unique experiences with my loved ones. Then we would wait together to see if the world really comes to an end in 2012.

　　要是世界末日真的在 2012 年发生，我会怎么做？我会去环游世界，看看所有我只在书本上读过的地方。我会去参观吉萨金字塔，体验这些古人用原始方法所建造出来的宏伟建筑。我也会去南极大陆体验那里的极冷环境。穿越亚马逊雨林旅行也在我的计划名单上。我会观察当地人的生活方式与习俗，还有认识雨林里各式各样的动植物。等我回到家，我会和亲爱的家人朋友分享这些独特的经历。然后我们会一起等待，看看世界是否真会在 2012 年毁灭。
