People ___________ think that big things _________ be done to save the earth. Many forget that saving the earth begins with small things. For example, you __________ save electricity by turning off the lights when you leave a room. You ________ also use reusable bags instead of plastic bags. I think it’s a great idea that you now _________ pay for plastic bags in some stores. And instead of driving to school or work, you __________ ride your bike or walk. If it’s far, you ________ take the bus. All these small things _______ add up and become big things that __________ improve the environment. Let’s take action now!

写作指导:
本次写作内容是一封书信,信中首先要介绍你所在城市存在有哪些环境问题,是谁造成的这些问题,然后提出解决这些环境问题的方法和措施,可以结合3a中列举的问题和前面学过的解决办法来完成这封信。
例文:
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I have lived in this town ever since I was born and I love this town very much.
I think there are beautiful areas in this town, but there are also areas that aren’t attractive, like the rubbish areas at the bottom of our apartment blocks. There is rubbish coming out of the bins, and flies and rats running all over the rubbish. It is unpleasant to see
and it makes the environment very dirty.
The problem is that the rubbish
collectors do not come often enough to collect
the rubbish. The people living here might also
throw away too much rubbish.
We could try to ask people to produce less
rubbish. I suggest that rubbish collectors
collect rubbish more often .I believe that a
better environment can be created in this town
and we should all work together to achieve it.
Yours faithfully,
Wang Xi.
