Recently,one investigation indicates that the resources of electricity or water consumed in most of the buildings in China, no matter for office or residential purpose, are far more than that of the developed countries.
For example,the average consumption of Beijing residents is three times as much as that of the families from the north Germany where the climate is similar with that in Beijing.
Because China is a country which is short of energy, we must save our resources so as to enssure the sustainable develeopment of our country's economy.
assure和ensure这两个词都是“保证”的意思,assure是“向某人保证”(make someone confident)的意思,而ensure是“保证上,确定”(make certain)的意思
例1:I want to assure you that nothing will go wrong tomorrow.
例2:1 want to ensure that nothing will go wrong tomorrow.
