八、书面表达
The earth is the only planet that we can live on. However, our earth is facing serious environmental problems. For example, air pollution is becoming more and more serious. Factories release a large amount of waste gas into the air, and cars also emit a lot of harmful gases. This has a bad impact on our health and the environment.
First, we should walk, ride bikes or use public transportation instead of riding in cars when we go to school. Driving less helps reduce air pollution. Second, we should sort waste before throwing it away and then put it into its proper dustbin. Third, we should take good care of trees and flowers. Don’t walk on grass or pick flowers. What’s more, we should save energy. We should shut off the electricity or taps when we are not using them.
I believe that if everyone takes action, the environment will change for the better.
