25.02.27 [영어/작문] Nuclear Energy Revival Urged at EU Summit 작문

교정본

Some activities can be conducted in mundane routines. For instance, people should take responsibility for minimizing energy waste, such as electricity, water, and so on. The authorities can also impose additional taxes on those who consume energy excessively.

I disagree with using nuclear power widely because of the dangers of its plants. I somehow understand the nuclear skepticism since the Fukushima disaster occurred in 2011. If the nuclear power plants explode, the creatures living around the plants are exposed to radiation, which may result in disabilities.

On the other hand, there are some benefits as well. Nuclear power is economical from the perspective that the raw source isn’t pricey in comparison with other energies. Additionally, since the CO2 emission is low while extracting raw sources or none of the CO2 is emitted on nuclear power operation, it is eco-friendly.

오늘의 노트

1. HIGHLIGHT:
Apostrophe Use (Inanimate Objects): The original sentence uses "plants’ dangers," which incorrectly applies an apostrophe to an inanimate object ("plants"). In English, we don’t use an apostrophe to show possession for inanimate objects. Instead, we use the preposition "of," as in "the dangers of its plants." This avoids using the possessive apostrophe for non-living things.

Article (Its vs. The): The original sentence uses "its plants' dangers," but we need "the dangers" to specify that we are talking about particular dangers. "The" is the definite article that refers to something specific or known, while "its" alone is not specific enough in this context.

Preposition (Of vs. in): The original sentence says "plants’ dangers," but the correct preposition is "of." In English, we use "of" to show possession or connection, so we say "the dangers of its plants."

Noun Form (Plant vs. Plants): The original sentence uses "plant," but the corrected sentence uses "plants." Since the sentence talks about nuclear power in general, it’s better to use the plural form "plants" to refer to more than one facility.

2. EXAMPLES:
   - I am concerned about the effects of pollution on the environment.
   - The benefits of solar energy outweigh its initial costs.
   - She is cautious about the risks of deep-sea diving.

There are several activities that can be incorporated into our daily routines to save energy. For example, individuals should take responsibility for reducing energy waste, including electricity and water. Additionally, authorities can implement higher taxes on those who excessively consume energy.

I do not agree with the widespread use of nuclear power due to the dangers associated with nuclear plants. I understand the skepticism surrounding nuclear energy, especially following the Fukushima disaster in 2011. If nuclear power plants were to experience a meltdown, the surrounding wildlife would be exposed to radiation, potentially leading to disabilities.

Conversely, there are several benefits to using nuclear power. From an economic perspective, nuclear energy can be cost-effective as the raw materials used are less expensive compared to other energy sources. Furthermore, nuclear power generates low carbon dioxide emissions during resource extraction and does not produce CO2 during its operation, making it an environmentally friendly option.

There are a few simple things we can do every day. For example, everyone should try to use less energy, like turning off lights when they leave a room or not wasting water. Also, the government could tax people who use way too much energy.

I don’t think it’s a good idea for everyone to use nuclear power because it can be really dangerous. I get why people are scared of it, especially after the Fukushima disaster in 2011. If a nuclear plant has an accident, the animals and people nearby can be in big trouble because of radiation.

But there are some good things about nuclear power too! It can be cheaper than other energy sources. Plus, it doesn’t produce much CO2 when we make it or use it, so it’s better for the environment.
