model answer:
As human population is significantly rising every year, people's requirements
are increasing too. We need more food, more machines, more place to live. As a
result of this people need more land to satisfy their requirements. We cultivate
and irrigate more and more land to plant vegetables, build new buildings,
airports, roads, etc. I think sometimes we forget that we are not alone on this
planet. I have to disagree with those people who think that human needs are more
important than saving land for endangered animals. I base my opinion on the
following points.
First of all, as I already mentioned, we are not alone on this planet. A few
centuries ago we were the part of wild nature. I think we need to remember this
fact and respect all creatures around us.
Second of all, I believe that we all need to think of the problem of
overpopulation. The human population is dramatically increasing and we have to
do something about it. From my opinion, every family should have no more than
two children. It will help to stop the growth of population, decrease human
needs for farmland, housing and industry.
In conclusion, I think it is a very topical question nowadays. My point is that
all people should answer this question and find the solution.
