答案:
Ⅰ.
From the picture we know that people are cutting down many trees. The trees are getting fewer and fewer. More and more farmland is becoming sand. This has caused sandstorms. Our living environment is getting worse and worse. The environmental problem is serious. Something must be done at once. We must build the Green Great Wall to stop the wind from blowing the earth away. Everybody should do something to protect our living environment. We must try to plant more trees, stop anyone from cutting down trees and make more people know how important it is to protect our environment.
