The importance of protecting the environment保护环境的重要性
Dear Editor,亲爱的编辑，
In the past, my hometown used to be a beautiful place. It was surrounded by plenty of trees and covered with green grass everywhere. Later, people destroyed many trees to turn for its into farmland and a lot of water and soil was carried away down the hills. Thus, much farmland has became waste land. Whats worst, this waste land is increasing and our village is suffering from storms. I think its time for us to realize the importance of protecting the environment and to do something about it, such as planting trees, growing grass and so on. I am sure that our hometown will become beautiful again in the few years time if we do so.
Yours sincerely,
LiuMei.
在过去，我的家乡曾经是一个美丽的地方。它被大量的树木环绕着，到处都是绿色的草。后来，人们破坏了许多树木，把它变成农田，许多水和土壤被冲走了。因此，许多农田变成了荒地。最坏的是，这是浪费的土地正在增加，我们的村庄正在遭受风暴的折磨。我认为现在是时候认识到保护环境的重要性了，并且做一些关于它的事情，比如植树，种植草等等。我相信我们的家乡在这几年里会变得美丽，如果我们这样做的话。
你真诚，
刘梅。
