(2021·河北唐山路南一模)Rainforests are very large, they can be found close to the equator(赤道), in South East Asia, West Africa and Central and South America. They have very high temperatures and it rains all year round. In a year it can rain as much as 260 cm!
The rainforest is divided into three layers(层). The canopy(树冠)is the top layer of the trees where most of the animals live. These trees can be more than 30 metres high and it is the noisiest layer of the rainforest. The middle layer is under the canopy and has some shorter trees. The third layer is the forest floor. It has very little sunlight and is the quietest layer of the rainforest. It can take ten minutes for a falling raindrop to travel from a rainforest's thick canopy to the floor.
Rainforests help to protect the Earth's climate(气候)because they take in CO2, a greenhouse gas from the air, and give out O2. Many things we need such as medicines and food come from the rainforests, too.
Unluckily, these rainforests are disappearing. Every second an area the size of a football field is either cut down for wood, to make furniture(家具), to build houses or to be cleared for farming animals.Action needs to be taken to protect the rainforests now!

Ⅵ.An unforgettable activity
After busy study, we always have a lot of unforgettable outdoor activities. My unforgettable activity is that we go to the mountains to plant trees on Tree Planting Day this spring.
On the morning of March 12, all the students in our class met at the school gate at 7 o'clock. Some students carried shovels, some carried buckets, others carried trees, and we walked to the mountains together. After the whole morning's hard work, all the trees were planted. We were happy to be back at school. We are tired, but we are happy. Because we know that the more trees we plant, the better the environment will be.
As President Xi said, “clear water and green mountains are as good as mountains of gold and silver.” I think we should do more meaningful things for the environment in the future.
