Dear Sir/Madam,
I am a junior 3 student. I have lived in this city ever since I was born and I love this city very much. There are many beautiful areas in this city. I’m writing this letter because I find that there are some environmental problems we need to pay attention to.
First of all, I find that the rivers in the city which used to be very clean and beautiful are badly polluted. They are dirty and full of rubbish and also produce bad smell. There are some reasons for these problems. Firstly, there are not enough dustbins so people throw rubbish into the rivers. Secondly, the factories near the river pour waste water into the rivers. It is believed that the factories are the main causes. I think that governments should close down the factories and we can also call on everyone in this city to throw rubbish in the dustbins.
Another problem is that the rubbish disposal areas at the bottom of our apartment blocks are very unpleasant and smelly. Exactly speaking, there is rubbish coming out of the bins, and flies, cockroaches and rats running all over the rubbish. The ploblem is there because the rubbish collectors do not come often enough to collect the rubbish. Meanwhile, the people living here may also be throwing away too much rubbish. It’s a good idea to ask people to produce less rubbish. Besides, I strongly suggest that rubbish collectors collect rubbish more often as well.
I believe that a better environment can be created in this city and we could all pull together to acheive it. Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
Sample
Dear Sir/Madam,
Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious all over the world.
With the development of the society, there are too many cars on the streets in our city. Cars have made the air unhealthy for people to breathe. Factories pollute the air with black smoke and poisonous (有毒的) gas (气体). Factories also put waste into the river. And wherever we go, we can find rubbish.
Now more and more people have realized these problems. I think that governments should close down the factories and develop laws to stop people from driving cars every day. I suggest everyone in this town should help to clean up the river and the streets. We should call on everyone in the town to throw rubbish in the bins.
I hope the problem will be solved in the near future and our home will become better and better.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
Dear mayor/sir or madam,
The environmental pollution is getting worse and worse. We can’t afford to wait any longer to take action.
There used to be a clean river in our city. But now the water is badly polluted by the factories. Because of this, we have no clean water to drink. Also, a number of trees are being cut down. Some animals are being killed to make money and some factories are producing dirty air into the sky. Not only does it have a bad influence on our lives and health, but it also has a great effect in the future.
In order to live a better life, we need to protect our environment as soon as possible. First of all, I think our government should develop laws to protect the environment. As a member of the society, we shouldn’t throw away rubbish everywhere. We had better use the recyclable bags instead of plastic bags when we go shopping. What’s more, it is important to plant more trees and stop people from cutting them down. In these ways, our earth will be more and more beautiful.

There has been frequent haze in the last few years in many cities. It’s high time people started paying attention to air pollution.
What are the reasons behind the terrible weather First, the number of cars has increased in the last few years, and they produce too much poisonous gas. Second, a lot of rubbish is burnt without following the rules. Besides, smoke and flying dust from chemical plants add to the problem. The river used to be very clean, but now it is polluted.
It is time for us to fight against air pollution. We should use buses more instead of driving cars. I hope more trees will be planted by people in the future. We are trying to save the earth. Let’s take action now!
