②接下來分析低碳生活引起了人們關(guān)注的多方面原因。drawpeople'sattention和multiple為高分詞匯。

③提倡低碳生活的原因之一：資源日漸衰竭。通過強(qiáng)調(diào)對(duì)后代的義務(wù)來喚起當(dāng)代人們的責(zé)任心和緊迫感。

④提倡低碳生活的原因之二：污染日益嚴(yán)重。witheverypassingday為加分表達(dá)法。

⑤節(jié)能減排需要全球合作，同時(shí)也需要一個(gè)響亮而明確的口號(hào)號(hào)召民眾，因此“低碳生活”應(yīng)運(yùn)而生。globaleffort,callsfor,unite,encourage積極意義的詞匯引起共鳴和好感。

⑥大學(xué)生有兩種參與方式：宣傳低碳生活的理念和身體力行從日常做起。engageourselves,spreadtheconceptamong,beginningfrom,carryouttheconcept為加分表達(dá)。
