PR: In your country, is there more need for land to be left in its natural condition or is there more need for land to be developed for housing and industry? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Even though our population is increasing and land is needed for housing and development. I would hope that our country could save the land in its natural state for future generations to enjoy. This land would be good for promoting tourism, for preserving the environment, and for remembering our history.
尽管我们的人口在增长，住房和发展需要土地。我希望我们的国家能把这片自然状态的土地留给子孙后代享用。这块土地将有助于促进旅游业，保护环境，以及纪念我们的历史。
Although tourism has many negative side effects, it is an industry that can create enormous revenues. Tourism of course needs something to see. They would not come to our country to see rows of apartment buildings or new industrial parks. What is interesting for tourists is the pristine countryside that our country is known for.
虽然旅游业有许多负面影响，但它是一个可以创造巨大收入的行业。旅游业当然需要一些东西。他们不会来我们国家看一排排的公寓楼或新的工业园区。对游客来说，有趣的是我们国家以其原始的乡村而闻名。
Preserving the land as it is, would be good for the environment. More factories and other industries would further pollute our rivers and air. We need frees and wide open spaces to make us feel like humans, not machines.
保持原样的土地，将有利于环境。更多的工厂和其他工业将进一步污染我们的河流和空气。我们需要自由和广阔的空间，让我们感觉自己像人类，而不是机器。
Untouched land reminds us of our history. When we walk through the countryside, we can imagine our ancestors on the same path. If we cover the earth with asphalt and concrete, we will loose touch with our past. We will forget our roots. Preserving the land is good not only for the economy and environment, it is good for us as citizens of our soil. We must preserve what little we have left. Can we afford not to?
未被触碰的土地让我们想起了我们的历史。当我们走过乡村时，我们可以想象我们的祖先走在同一条路上。如果我们用沥青和混凝土覆盖地球，我们将与过去失去联系。我们会忘记我们的根。保护土地不仅有利于经济和环境，而且有利于我们作为我们土地的公民。我们必须保留我们所剩的一点。我们能承受得起吗？
