Task: Story Composition
Input (English): Background Paragraph: Natural resources include energy, minerals and other materials. Natural resources may be renewable or non-renewable. Non-renewable resources cannot be replaced. When they're gone, they're gone. Renewable resources can be replaced. They can supply human activities forever. Fossil fuels are crucial for modern human society. Fossil fuels are essential for transportation, industry and agriculture. Renewable energy resources tend to be clean. They emit fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases than fossil fuels. Renewable resources often have other problems. They are more costly and less efficient than fossil fuels. Still, they have many advantages. Research is going into developing renewable resources. Conservation is the best way to increase resource availability. Anyone can conserve! You and your family can. Society can. The world can. Just reduce, reuse, recycle.
Output (English): Germany took steps to increase the use of renewable natural resources. Today, they are the leader in using renewable resources. Most of their energy requirements are met with renewable natural resources. But it's not the case with nearby Russia. Russia has been heavily depended on non-renewable natural resources. With the discovery of huge gas and oil reserves there is no sign that situation would change in Russia any time soon.
