Recently, frequent bouts of extreme weather and climate events are threatening millions of lives in various regions around the world to such an extent that humans should not look on with folded arms any longer. We need to live with the climate change and prevent it at the same time.
First and foremost, human society has to be confronted with climate changes anyway. They are inevitable for the two reasons. One is the inbuilt inertia of the ecosystem, which leads to the continuing warming effects during the next decades even if all the emissions stop today, and the other is the technology difficulty, which takes a long period to shift the global economy from the base of fossil fuels to renewable energies.
Therefore,a wide range of adjustments have to be made. There may be more severe floods and droughts, to resolve which problem, the techniques of artificial rainfall, sub drainage as well as real-time supervision and timely forecast should be strengthened and developed. What’s more, several industries should be revolutionized to better adapt to the changing climate. Agriculturally, meticulous selection of the water, drought, cold and heat resistant crops will be favored. As regards forestry, desertification can be slowed down by planting more trees while in terms of animal husbandry, grass seeds should be more diversified.
However,acclimatization does not necessarily mean capitulation in the battle against the climate change. Despite the impracticality to halt the alteration, the process can be postponed. One possible approach is to enforce strict laws, punishing environmentally destructive activities and deterring mercenary businesses and individuals from releasing astonishing amounts of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Another means is a concerted effort made by the global communities which are currently working individually for inconsistent targets.
In conclusion, the unstoppable climate change necessitates the simultaneous efforts of both and accommodation and prevention, which two are complementary and of equal significance.

Some people think that the government should decide the subject for students to study in university. Others believe that students should be allowed to apply for the subject they prefer. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
有人认为政府应该决定学生在大学期间的课程，其他人认为应该允许学生申请自己喜欢的课程。讨论双方观点并给出你的观点。
参考范文：
When it comes to the issue about the choice of subjects at university, some people argue that it should be determined by governments, but others believe that students have the right to pick up any subject they like.
On one hand, it may be more efficient for governments to arrange subjects for students. The high unemployment rate, to some degree, may arise from a fact that students pour into a specific subject, such as finance or economics, which leads to a severe competition among those graduates. However, if governments are potent to decide what kind of subjects could be chosen for students, governments could distribute students to different majors. Then, the unemployment rate may be lowered since students could avoid too much pressure in a specialization.
On the other hand, students may be more motivated providing that they could choose subjects they prefer. When young people are forced to major in some fields they dislike, some of them may rebel against governments, which may even lead to social conflicts. On the contrary, being free to take subjects may stimulate students to make painstaking efforts. Then, students may be potent to achieve their goals with a higher possibility due to their enthusiasm and energy.
From my own perspective, these two opinions do not necessarily contradict each other, but could be adopted simultaneously. It is true that students do deserve the freedom to do whatever they intend to do, but sometimes they may be blind and regretful for their former choices at university later. Thus, a compromise may be that governments need to respect students' choice, but they could provide students with a list on which some suggestions could be given. For example, governments could highlight some subjects related to too competitive careers currently, as well as some seemingly unpopular subjects that may be potential in the future, with which students may make an optimal option.
