原文:
It's very easy to forget about what's in the ground beneath our feet and why it's so important to protect it. One tablespoon of soil contains more organisms than there are people on Earth; billions of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms combine with minerals, water, air and organic matter to create a living system that supports plants and, in turn, all life. Healthy soil can store as much as 3,750 tons of water per hectare, reducing the risk of flooding, and the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said that 89% of all agricultural emissions could be mitigated if we improved the health of our soil. Good soil management also increases disease resistance in livestock and ultimately drives profits for farmers – yet soil and its impact on the health of our animals has, over recent decades, been one of the most neglected links in UK agriculture. Over the last 50 years' agriculture has become increasingly dependent on chemical fertilizers, with applications today around 10 times higher than in the 1950s. Farmers often think the chemical fertilizer NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) provides all the nutrition a plant requires, but it also has a detrimental effect on the long-term health of the land: research suggests there are fewer than 100 harvests left in many of the world's soils.

It's very easy to forget about what's in the ground beneath our feet and why it's so important to protect it.
我们很容易忘记我们脚下的土地里有什么,以及为什么保护它如此重要。
One tablespoon of soil contains more organisms than there are people on Earth;
一汤匙土壤中含有的有机物比地球上的人口还多;
billions of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms combine with minerals, water, air and organic matter to create a living system that supports plants and, in turn, all life.
数以亿计的细菌、真菌和其他微生物与矿物质、水、空气和有机物结合,创造了一个支持植物,进而支持所有生命的生命系统。
Healthy soil can store as much as 3,750 tons of water per hectare, reducing the risk of flooding, and the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has said that 89% of all agricultural emissions could be mitigated if we improved the health of our soil.
健康的土壤每公顷可以储存多达3750吨的水,减少洪水的风险,国际气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)表示,89%的农业排放可以减少,如果我们改善我们的土壤健康。
Good soil management also increases disease resistance in livestock and ultimately drives profits for farmers – yet soil and its impact on the health of our animals has, over recent decades, been one of the most neglected links in UK agriculture.
良好的土壤管理还能提高牲畜的抗病能力,并最终为农民带来利润——然而,土壤及其对动物健康的影响,在最近几十年里,一直是英国农业中最被忽视的环节之一。
Over the last 50 years' agriculture has become increasingly dependent on chemical fertilizers, with applications today around 10 times higher than in the 1950s.
在过去的50年里,农业越来越依赖化肥,今天的使用量比上世纪50年代高出10倍左右。
Farmers often think the chemical fertilizer NPK (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium) provides all the nutrition a plant requires, but it also has a detrimental effect on the long-term health of the land: research suggests there are fewer than 100 harvests left in many of the world's soils.
农民们通常认为化肥NPK(氮、磷、钾)提供了植物所需的所有营养,但它也对土地的长期健康有不利影响:研究表明,世界上许多地方的土壤中只剩下不到100种作物。
解析:
大家好,欢迎来到今天的SWT高频微课课堂,今天我们要讲的是the importance of the soil,土地的重要性。
第一部分:PTE写作SWT题型的生难词积累

先看一下单词积累,Tablespoon,桌子和汤匙所组合在一起的名词,大汤匙;Organism有机物、有机体;Livestock, 牲畜家畜;Ultimately, 这是一个副词,LY结尾的后缀,最终最后的;Fertilizer, 肥料、化肥的意思。
第二部分:PTE写作SWT题型的原文解析

1、我们来看一下今天这道题,It's very easy to forget about what in the ground beneath our feet, 我们很容易忽视我们脚下的土地里面有什么?And why it's so important to protect, 以及为何我们要如此重要的去保护它。你看,在全文的开头说了一个这么重要的概念,那我们肯定是要把这句话给带上的。它包括了很多的有机物,Then there people in earth, 这比人类在地球上的数量还要多。比方说真菌、细菌、其他的微生物、矿物质、水、空气等等。是对前者的举例和说明,也就是一汤匙的土地包含了很多很多东西,这些具体的东西我们不要,但是这个土地所拥有的有机物很多这个概念我们是要的。
2、good soil measure also increases disease resistant, 一个好的土地管理,能够提升我们对于疾病的抵抗力,以及最终为这些农场主提供这个profit,提供价值或钱财。所以这个地方说了also increases, 这是讲了第二点,结合了前面的health soil和这个good soil, 讲的是好的土地的两个方面,这两个方面我们都要。So and it's impact on the health of our has been one of the most negct link in the UK agture, 然而土地和土地的人类重要经常被neglected,这个neglected和前面相呼应,整个第一段都是在说土地很重要,土地重要在两个方面。所以这一段的第一句话和最后一句话,二者你择一就可以了,中间两个重要性句子很长,需要对这两个长句进行一些摘要,抓取主干部分。
3、Over the last fifty years agriculture,在过去的50多年里,农业,Become independent, 非常依赖于化肥,讲了一些细节。Most chemicalilizer bla bla the nutrition, 这些农场主通常认为这些化肥提供了很多很多的营养,But it also has effect the health land, 又讲到这个化肥虽然说有好的地方,但是它还会导致一些trimental effect, 一些有害的影响。针对这个土地,研究者们建议fewer than1harvest,目前真正健康的土壤,没有受化学污染的土壤已经很少很少了。第二段讲的内容其实比较简单,涉及到化肥对土壤的影响。
第三部分:PTE写作SWT题型的答案组成

1、整个这道题,两段讲的是两个不同的东西。第一个告诉大家土壤很重要,但是我们经常会忽视它,第二个讲到了化肥的好和不好之处。针对这两个部分,我们每一段再取出一些重要的信息出来,组合成我们的答案就可以了。
2、我们看sample answer, people usually forget,我们可以说people usually forget what's are in the ground andmportance why we , 然后because加了一个连词,因为两个好处,一个是create the living stands living system. 另外一个是increase the disease.第三我们要把这个化肥加进去,带到agriculture has become dependent on the chemical fertilizer。研究者最后suggest了什么也展露出来。
3、整个这道题呢,它是讲具体的内容,以及不断的例子去辅佐这个内容的结构。所以我们只要把具体的内容抓出来,其他的一些细节忽略掉,把主干部分摘出来,这就是这道题的答案了。
