【范文】
　　Natural disasters happen almost every day，those devastating ones leave us to think about our behaviors towards nature again.
　　First of all，we need to set a sound pre-warning mechanism, which enables us to detect potential risks at an early stages. Accordingly，emergency measures can be taken，and losses can be minimized.
　　Second，governments have to equipped with an excellent Disaster Assistance Response Team to rescue those disaster-stricken areas. The primary goal is to provide emergency services, such as drinking water and medical treatment, until long-term aid arrives.
　　Third, citizens need to realize that the main cause of those disasters is largely due to climate crisis; therefore, they should purchase energy efficient appliances, plant trees and economize our consumption on housing.
　　From what has been discussed above, I maintain that minimizing the cost of disasters can be achieved by our persisting efforts.
　　【点评】
　　段为总起段，提出问题并引起读者的注意。在形容自然灾害时，用disaster。Devastating表示极具破坏性的，同义词为destroying。Leave sb. to do sth. 意味着使某人做某事。之后第二段中使用了连接词accordingly, 用以表示顺接或因果关系，连接词的使用能够使文章更具连贯性和逻辑性。而两个被动语态的使用则使文章更加客观公正。
　　第三段从政府的角度来进一步论述。Disaster-stricken为形容词，意思为饱受摧残的。在讲述政府提供的救援时，文中用了举例的方法使文章更加具体有说服力。
　　第四段中的be due to主要用来表示不好的原因。Purchase表示大宗购买，意为buy。这里用了三个并列的动宾词组，使文章更加有说服力。
　　后一段maintain用来表示某人的观点，同义词还有observe, declare, insist。
