话题写作
人类与环境就像鱼和水一样，有着密切的关系，但是目前全球范围的自然环境遭到了严重破坏。保护环境就是保护地球和保护人类自己。
为了保护人类的摇篮——地球，让我们共同努力吧！
为了保护地球有限的资源，我们应该采取什么措施呢？请根据下面的写作要点写一篇约80词的短文，短文开头已经给出。
写作要点：1.节约水；2.节约电；3.保护森林；4.回收有用的垃圾。
Although the world develops much faster and better, the resources on the earth get fewer and fewer. In order to protect them, something must be done.
Save water. Water is the source of life. No water, no life. So it’s very important for us to save water. Not only should we protect drinking water and stop polluting it, but also we should make full use of it.
Save electricity. We can’t imagine what the life will be like without it. Everyone should do his best to save electricity. Don’t forget to turn off the lights or other electric machines when we finish working.
Protect forests. They are useful. Please stop cutting them down and recycle paper instead. Make our world a green one to live in.
Recycle useful rubbish. Plenty of rubbish can be recycled like pop-top cans, paper, bottles and so on. We can save resources in this way.
In a word, as long as we do these above, we can make our earth more beautiful.
假设你是李华，针对多个城市频繁出现雾霾（haze）天气，请你结合以下要点给某英语杂志社热点话题写一篇文章。
要点:1. 雾霾带来了哪些危害？
2. 为什么会出现雾霾天气？
3.我们可以采取哪些措施来抵制雾霾？
There has been frequent haze in the last few years in many cities. It's high time people started paying attention to air pollution.
Haze has a bad effect on people's health. Many people, such as children and the old, suffer from illness caused by haze. So citizens are warned not to go out without wearing masks.
What are the reasons behind the terrible weather First, the number of cars has been increasing 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.
It is time for us to fight against air pollution. We should take buses more often instead of driving cars. Planting more trees can also help to improve the air quality. Let's take action now!
