2020年10月17日托福考試線下考了這么一道題：Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Economy growth should not be slowed down by concerns about environment.

環境類話題在托福獨立寫作中與教育類話題比起來，確實屬于小眾話題，于是很多同學在遇到環境類題目的時候，就不知所措。但其實，托福獨立寫作中涉及環境類話題的題目，大多主要圍繞環境與健康、環境與能源、環境與經濟。最多結合一下政府這個主體提問，在觀點展開時可以選取的素材也相近。

2020年10月17日這道題我們在之前的考后回顧中提供過破題思路：
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Economy growth should not be slowed down by concerns about environment.

要點：環境問題和經濟發展之間的沖突，題目描述還是比較清晰的。但還是要注意兩者的結合，避免揪著講環境問題有多重要，不談經濟。
觀點：disagree
1. 從health的角度
1）環境問題如果已經影響了人們的健康，那么就算是經濟發展的大頭公司head of，也要進行一定的管治。
e.g. 二戰末期，英國煤礦資源豐富，是當時主要的經濟來源，然而1952年這一產業引起了嚴重的煙霧事件，人們健康深受其害，有關部門就開戰了調查并出臺了一系列相關限制issue a series of relevant restrictions

2. 從economy的角度
1）economy與environment并不是完全對立的兩方，其實可以相結合，在一定程度上，好的環境不僅可以促進可持續性發展，同時也能帶動區域的旅游業

3. 讓步：
對方觀點：agree
對方前提條件：如果放緩經濟發展的速度，也會影響國家實力和人民的收入

反駁：
1）放緩≠停止，人們不會直接實業，只是短期內受到一定的影響
2）從長期來看，還是益處多于危害的
 
其實在2020年9月6日托福線下考試中，獨立寫作就出了一道環境類話題的題目。

【完全重復20151212/20190922】
Some companies provide important products or service, but also damage environment. Some people believe that government should require more penalty, higher tax and larger fine of these companies, while others believe there are better ways. Which do you prefer？

這道題中的“important products”，其實也可以聯想到與經濟的關系，那么其他聯系的題呢？

環境與能源：
