【答案】
Dear Mr.Brown,
I’m writing to you to recommend myself as the activity prompter of World Meteorological Day.
Allow me to introduce myself first. My name is Li Hua. I am an eleven-year-old middle school student who is interested in protecting our earth. In my opinion, here is something we can do to make our world better.
First of all, the key to this is to start with small things in our daily life. For example, we can offer to do the cleaning actively, stop littering, and start to save water and electricity. What’s more, the way of traveling should also be taken into consideration. To be specific, choosing the green travel is an excellent idea, which means walking or riding a bike to school, as well as taking the bus instead of a car. In addition, if I become the prompter, I will hold events like speech contest to raise people’s awareness.
I would appreciate it if you could give me the chance. Look forward to your early reply.
Yours truly, Li Hua
