My Views on Environmetal Protection

Nowadays, the world we live in is becoming more and more intolerable because of environmental destruction. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of industrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. Recently,haze weather has become a usual phenomenon here in large part of China. People are forced to wear the mask to avoid breathing poisonous air. Some people think it is impossible to solve the problem,however,from my opinion,if we find out the reason and take effective measures the environment can be better.

If we trace the cause for haze weather,the main points are as follows,first,our countrys air quality standards are rather lax and evaluation factors are limited,so you will see that current air appraisal system has defects. Second,some people just go for economic interests instead of turning out products according to relevant law and regulations. They tend to use obsolete equipment in which they are more likely to emit a great deal of wasted air. Third,across our society,the awareness of protecting the environment has not built up so that people havent formed a habit of using green product and saving energy as much as possible. If we dont take action to show respect to the environment, we will have to face an increasingly awful situation.

Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws passed to conserve the environment. In my opinion, to protect the environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, people should be educated to recognize the importance of the problems, to use modern methods of birth control, to conserve our natural resources and recycle our products. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the policy of population into practice, because more people mean more pollution. Finally,laws concerning environmental protection should be put into effect and enforce strictly just as our government has been doing. To sum up,if we work together to take out such measures,our environment will get better and better and haze weather will vanish completely.

With the development of science and technology, peoples living standards are getting higher and higher, environmental problems are more and more serious, you found it?

Lets talk about water pollution! Gas stations and other factories always put the water without purification to the river, resulting in small fish without home. 50% of our country can not use clean water, this figure is not terrible? So saving water is imminent, you still waste it?

Lets talk about the problem of reducing trees! Now a lot of trees have been cut down by us, so the dust storm came, the flood came, nature to revenge us. We all know that the use of disposable chopsticks are made of trees, if each of us every day can use a pair of disposable chopsticks, one year down can keep ten thousand trees, see this time, you are still presumptuous Behavior?

Lets take a look at the sky, the blue sky is gone, the white clouds are hidden, is it really gone? No, they are just "smoke" by the smoke from the factory.

These are water caused by it? Are our own human beings, if not felling of trees, garbage, a reasonable discharge of purified sewage, I believe our planet will be beautiful. Protect everyone from the earth, let us work together to protect the environment!

随着科技的发展，人们的生活水平也越来越高，环境问题也越来越严重了，你们发现了吗?

咱们就来说说水被污染的问题吧!加油站和其他工厂总是把未经过净化处理的水排放到河里，导致小鱼没有了家。我们国家有百分之五十一的人都无法用到干净的水，这样的数字难道不可怕吗?所以节约用水已是迫在眉睫，你还在浪费吗?

我们再来说说树木减少的问题吧!现在好多树木已经被我们砍伐叻，所以沙尘暴来了，洪水来了，大自然来报复我们了。我们都知道使用的一次性筷子都是用树木做的，如果我们每个人每天可以少用一双一次性筷子，一年下来就可以保留千万棵树木，看到这时，你还在放肆自己的行为吗?

我们再来看看那天空，蓝蓝的天不见了，白白的云也藏起来了，是真的没有了吗?不是的，它们只是被工厂排放的浓烟给“保护”起来了。

这些都是水造成的呢?都是我们人类自己，如果不乱砍伐树木、垃圾，合理排放净化过的污水，相信我们的地球就会很美。保护地球人人有责，让我们一起来保护环境吧!

When people get sick, they will go to see the doctor, the most common thing the doctor says is that to drink more water. Most people don’t put it in their hearts, thinking it is just useless. But drinking more water indeed brings people health, it can make the blood circulate quickly and get rid of the harmful part. So it is good for people to drink more water no matter what they are doing.

当人们生病了，就会去看医生，医生说得最多的就是多喝水。大部分人并没有把这个放在心上，觉得这是没有用的。但是多喝水确实能给人们带来健康，它能让人的血液快速流通，排出有害的部分。所以，无论人们在做什么，多喝水是有好处的。

On earth a vibrant, is full of lovely life. We need to cherish life, to protect us.

People have life, animals have life.

BC, appeared a man, for now, some people think that they will just social animals. In fact, said this man, that is, they descended.

Historically, many people have to kill animals at all costs. Take former guangdong, for instance, they are the most like to eat wild raw monkey brain, at that time, they get rid of skull live monkey dont feel cruel. For those too poor...

Now, in the zoo, we tend to see "please dont feed the" slogan. In order to let the passengers dont cast a prank. Once, an animal is eating the passengers throw plastic bags, ill.

So called for everybody, please protect the animals, wild animals less and less now let our home full of vitality!

地球上一片生机勃勃，到处都是可爱的生命。生命需要我们去珍惜，我们去保护。

人有生命，动物也有生命。

公元前出现了猿人，对于现在，有些人认为，他们只是会群居的动物。其实，说这话的人，也就是他们演变而成的。

从古至今，许多人曾不择手段的捕杀动物。就拿以前的广东人来说吧，他们最喜欢生吃野生猴脑了，那时，他们把活生生的猴子的头盖骨去掉也不觉得残忍。可怜了那些猴儿啊……

现在，在动物园里，我们往往会看见“请不要喂食”的标语。就是为了让旅客们别投搞恶作剧。一次，一只动物就是吃了旅客投的塑料袋，生病了。

所以，呼吁大家，请保护动物，现在野生动物越来越少了让我们的家充满生机吧!

I enjoy summer vacation very much.Becausesummer vacation is the longest vacation of the year. We have more than fifty days to rest. Though it is very hot, we can either go to swim or stay in the air-conditioned room.

In the evening, I like to go shopping with my friends.We can eat many things in summer, such as ice creams, watermelons, grapes, and so on.In summer, I always go on a trip with my parents. Its a good chance for us to visit some nice interesting places.

The boundless sea gives people the expectation, the beauty, the warm maternal love.

The sea is like a poem.Like a picture, the meaning is rich;Like a symphony, the vast...It is always calm, like a mirror;Now and then the rage, the surge of rage, can overturn the boat that sailed.In my mind, the sea is the blue world and the cradle of life.There are so many free and free lives.The sea is so mysterious, so charming!

Now the sea has changed.The water is no longer clear, its cloudy, its dirty.The water washed up on the sand, leaving no more of a bouncing fish, but a pile of trash, and a lot of shrill little shrimps.Why is that?Its all because of us.While enjoying the beauty of the sea, someone threw the stinky rubbish into the sea.There are also people living on the coast who make toilet discharge pipes to the bottom of the sea.Even worse, the waste water from the factory poured into the sea, and the water became a strange color.Lead to give birth to a lot of lack of brain ` low IQ baby, our next generation - the eyes bright ` voice immature ` gorge through red face the next generation will never see the beautiful blue sea.

Some people have done an experiment, he compared a basin of water to the sea, and drop a drop of ink into the "sea".At once, the ink spread slowly, shallower and disappeared, and the "sea water" was almost as clean as before.If the ink keeps dripping, "the color of the water will get darker and darker, and then it will turn into a basin of black water.The worlds six billion people produce a lot of waste water and industrial pollution every day, just as the ink has been pouring into the pristine waters of the sea, and the sea is now a pool of sewage.

For the sake of our human health, to see the beautiful and charming blue ocean for our children and grandchildren.Let us act immediately, love the sea as we love life, and love the common blue home of mankind.

今天是晴天。我起得很早，读了一些英语。然后我吃早饭去上学。在早上我们有四节课，他们是英语课，一节语文课和一节历史课。我最喜欢英语。中午我们在学校吃午饭，我们吃米饭和蔬菜，但是我们不太喜欢他们。下午我们有两节数学课和一节音乐课。数学很难，但我努力学习。我们唱一首美丽的歌。我们在五点一刻结束学业。我和朋友在操场上打篮球。这很有趣!然后我回家做作业，然后和父母一起吃晚饭，看电视。我九点睡觉。

Recently I found out that some bad things happened in our school.

At ordinary times is very neat and clean campus, has recently become some dirty, some corner or in the corridors, students can be seen the plastic bags used to hold things, eat some fruit peel, cabinet and throw away the packing bag of after loud snacks. Is each class in our school there is a certain region responsible for cleaning, clean, will arrange the students per class every day the rubbish is certainly in the classmate after cleaning the health, and others left, I think the quality of the students really is very low, I dont know to cherish other peoples work achievement, dont know how to protect the campus environment.

Students, not to be good, not to be, not to be evil small but to be, everybody join hands together, protect our campus environment together!

最近我发现我们的学校发生了一些不好的现象。

平时十分整洁干净的校园，最近却变的有些脏兮兮的，一些角落里或者是走廊里，都能看到同学们用来装事物的塑料袋，还有一些水果皮、碎纸屑和吃完小零食以后扔掉的包装袋。我们学校是每个班都有一定的卫生打扫的负责区域的，每天每班都会安排学生打扫，这些垃圾肯定都是在同学打扫完卫生之后，又有人丢下的，我觉得这些同学的素质真的很低，都不知道珍惜别人的劳动成果，不知道保护校园的环境。

同学们，不以善小而不为，不以恶小而为之，大家携起手来，共同保护我们的校园环境吧!

As we all know,the number of Siberian tiger is becoming smaller and smaller. The appearances of Siberian tiger is terrifyingly.They are with an red-brown colour and brindle on their furs.They are mainly inhabit in forests and mountain area of the north by east in China.Their favourite food is fresh meat,especially the small animals.Their habitual behavior is to hide by day and come out at night. And we should try our best to protect them.

我喜欢的公益广告是节约用水的类型。因为人们要节约钱.节约资源.现在的淡水太少了,江河污染严重.这就给国家水资源部门带来了许多麻烦,为了人民利益.身体健康.国家为了更好发展,就单在这一方面就花费了许多财力.物力和人力.这就是而我们也相对会付出更多钱。所以我创造了节约用水的广告：水是生命的源泉、工业的血液、城市的命脉。

我还创作了一个节水标志时刻提醒着自己要节约用水。再说节约用石油没有什么坏处节水可以减轻农田水利建设的工作量促进了农业现代化的发展，采用传统的地面沟灌、自流漫灌，要大搞平整土地，这就加大了农田水利基本建设的工作量，采用喷灌后，土地不需平整，种地实现了“三无”，即无渠、无沟、无埂，大大减轻了水利建设的工作量，有力促进了农业向机械化、产业化、现代化方向发展。

为了节水我海洋告诉大家节水的好方法：(1)你如果觉得厕所的水箱过大，可以在水箱里竖放一块砖头或一只装满水的大可乐瓶，以减少每一次的冲水量。但须注意，砖头或可乐瓶放得不要妨碍水箱部件的运动。(2)水箱漏水总是最多，进水止水橡皮不严，灌水不止，水满以后就从溢流孔流走;出水口止水橡皮不严，就不停流走水，进水管不停地进水。(3)用收集的家庭废水冲厕所，可以一水多用，节约清水。(4)垃圾不论大小、粗细，都应从垃圾通道清除，而不要从厕所用水来冲。朋友们，保护水资源吧!

水，滋润万物，是生命之源。长江、黄河孕育了华夏文明；亚马逊河创造了神秘的玛雅文明；尼罗河是古埃及文明的存在基础；幼发拉底河、底格拉斯河使两河文明成为了中亚地区的历史宝库中的璀璨明珠。

不仅如此，就连科学家也因火星上有与冰痕相似的痕迹而兴奋不已。因为水的存在，所以生命才得以发展……我们誉黄河为“母亲河”，而我们却不止一次听到黄河水质继续变差或黄河断流等一些让人尴尬的消息。不停地排放化学污水、过度汲水是造成这些恶果的主要原因，而人类就是整个事件的罪魁祸首，但并不是所有的人都那样做，因为我们也听到保护水源的呼声越来越高。

即使人类成功地解决了上述问题，却仍避免不了由自然因素引起的水害问题。如果不是这样，就不会有禹三过家门而不入的故事，也不会有98年那样壮大的抗洪救灾场面，那我们炎黄子孙的精神也就得不到体现。“水滴石穿、绳锯木断”。水，看似柔弱，却能把坚石滴穿，汇成洪流，更可穿峡破谷，一往无前。水是这样地顽强，但人类的精神决不会比它弱，否则的话水早已将人打败了。

水不仅孕育了生命，表现了顽强，还见证了古往今来的悲欢离合，演绎了那么多可歌可泣的故事。“风萧萧兮易水寒，壮士一去不复返”、“孤帆远影碧空尽，唯见长江天际流”、“桃花潭水深千尺，不及汪伦送我情”，这些脍炙人口的名句包含了多少辛酸、无奈。屈原投汩罗江、项羽自刎于乌江旁，这两个故事也足以让人感到一丝凄凉。所以说水是历史的“见证人”，历史的车轮在不断转动，水也在不停息地向前流去。

总而言之，水，就是那么神奇，孕育生命、一往无前、演绎悲欢离合，不论三个中的哪一个都足以让我们沉思良久。

The Importance of Electricity

When you go to work in the morning and find that traffic lights dont work, the traffic jam will certainly happen. A patient needs to be operated on at once. What will happen if the operation cannot be made because of the electricity. Without electricity, we can neither watch TV, listen to the tape, nor chat on line. Electricity is closely related to our daily life.

How terrible it would be if there were no electricity!

一天中午，烈日炎炎，农夫们都回家喝稀饭去了。有一块农田因为没有水喝而干渴着，他吟呻到：“哎呀，水呀，我要水……哪里有水呀？”

就在这时，一只小鸟乘坐着一片云朵飘过。这云漆黑漆黑的。农田以为是乌云，所以立即提起了精神，他睁大眼睛，惊喜地说：“乌云先生，是不是要下雨了呀？太好了，终于有水喝了！”

可“乌云”听了却一脸无奈：“农田老弟，我不是乌云先生，我是被染过色的白云先生，我原本是雪白雪白的，可现在……”

“哎……”农田叹了口气，他了解，他也亲眼目睹过：那些工厂的烟囱里排出一缕缕灰烟，那些川流不息的汽车尾也排出一缕缕灰烟，而偏偏那能净化空气的树木却被人类大量砍伐了，白云怎能不被染成乌云呢？

农田非常失望。他又看到了云上的小鸟，于是便抱着一丝希望对她说：“小鸟姐姐，你能帮我乘点水来吗？我都快渴死了！”

小鸟说：“可以是可以，可我们正要外出旅行呢，要不我们旅行时顺便帮你点水回来？可你要等很久喔！”

“行行行，你快去吧。”农田听了赶忙答应了。

过了一小时零五秒，小鸟嘴上叼着一瓶水乘坐着云朵凯旋而归了。太好了，终于盼到水喝了！农田心想。可当小鸟把水浇给它时，他却是难地咽下去的，身体也变黑了。

“哎呀，小鸟姐姐，你给我喝的是什么呀？又臭又难喝。”农田奄奄一息地问道。

小鸟委屈地说：“这就是山后小溪里的水呀，我们刚好去哪儿旅游，可那里得水怎么这样了？”

“哎……”农田叹了口气，他了解，它也亲眼目睹过：那些工厂都把污水排到小溪里去，人们总是随意地往小溪里扔垃圾，可偏偏人们看到小溪变脏了不但不觉悟，还一错再错，小溪里的水能不又丑又脏吗？

第二天，身体发黑的农田，死了……

[初一作文：为水而死

Excuse me waiter, there’s a shark in my soup

Some 200m years before dinosaurs made their appearance on earth and thus quite some time before Homo sapiens began celebrating nuptials at extravagant wedding banquets, sharks swam the oceans. Sharks are older than trees. They have survived at least four planetary mass extinctions.

在恐龙在地球上出现之前两亿年左右，也就是在现代人(Homo sapiens)开始举办奢华婚宴之前相当久远的时候，鲨鱼们就已经在海洋中游弋。鲨鱼比树还要古老。它们至少经历了四次地球物种灭绝，一直活到了今天。

The link between these ancient predators and contemporary wedding receptions is that, among Chinese people, it is a sign of generosity and prestige to serve guests shark-fin soup. Since there are more than 1.3bn Chinese people, and since they are getting more affluent by the day, that is of no little consequence to the shark population. Some 70m sharks are killed each year for their fins. Much of the time, the fins are sliced off with a blade at sea and the bloody shark torso thrown back in the water to die.

这种古老的食肉动物和当代婚宴之间的联系在于，在中国人眼中，请客人吃鱼翅羹是慷慨与体面的标志。由于中国有13亿多人口，并且中国人一天比一天富裕，吃鱼翅对鲨鱼数量可谓影响重大。为了获取鱼翅，人类每年要捕杀约7000万条鲨鱼。大多数时候，人们在海上用刀把鱼鳍割下来，然后便将血淋淋的鲨鱼躯干扔入海里，任由它们死去。

The California state legislature is debating a bill co-sponsored by Paul Fong, a Chinese-American Democrat, to ban the sale, consumption and trade of shark fin. Hawaii, Oregon and Washington state already impose similar bans. California accounts for 85 per cent of shark fin eaten in the US. The bill sailed through the lower house assembly, but is being held up in the state senate because of concerns it discriminates against Chinese Americans.

加利福尼亚州立法机构正在讨论由民主党人、美籍华人方文忠(Paul Fong)联合提议的一项旨在禁止贩卖、消费和交易鱼翅的议案。夏威夷州、俄勒冈州和华盛顿州已经实施了类似的禁令。加州的鱼翅食用量占到美国鱼翅总食用量的85%。州众议院会议已通过了此项议案，但因担心法案有歧视美籍华人的嫌疑，州参议院还未对其投票表决。

What people eat is, indeed, a sensitive topic and one that generates much hypocrisy. Different cultures have formed their own taboos about what is proper, and not proper, to eat. Muslims and Jews don’t eat pigs, Hindus don’t eat cows and most Americans don’t eat snake or whale. Jains, and vegetarians of all cultures, don’t eat any animals at all.

人们吃什么确实是一个敏感的话题，也会催生许多虚伪的作风。对于可以吃什么、不可以吃什么，不同的文化有着各自的禁忌。穆斯林和犹太教徒不吃猪肉，印度教徒不吃牛肉，而大多数美国人不吃蛇肉或鲸肉。耆那教徒(Jains)和各种文化中的素食主义者都不吃任何动物。

Westerners are particularly prone to turning up their nose at what other people eat. Their position is mostly illogical and sometimes offensive. They tend to mentally divide animals into those you eat (like pigs, sheep and chickens); those you cuddle or stroke (cats, dogs and horses); and those too ugly, unusual or intelligent to eat (say beetles, zebras and dolphins). Many profess to loathe barbarity – think clubbing seals – yet are happy to eat veal or to ignore what goes on in their friendly neighbourhood abattoir.

西方人尤其看不惯其它文化社会的人们所吃的东西。他们的出发点大多不合逻辑，有时可能还会触犯众怒。他们往往在心里把动物分为好几类：吃的(如猪、羊和鸡)、搂抱或抚摸的(猫、狗和马)以及太丑、太怪或太聪明而不能吃的(比如甲虫、斑马和海豚)。许多人都公开对残暴行为表示憎恶——例如用棍子猎杀海豹——但却爱吃小牛肉，或佯装对自己居住的友好社区的屠宰场里发生的一切毫不知晓。

Michael Moore, the American documentary film-maker, brilliantly – if possibly inadvertently – exposed this self-delusion in Roger & Me. In a scene that was meant to highlight the poverty of Flint, Michigan, a woman selling rabbits is shown asking customers if they want “pets or meat”. If the answer is “pet”, the cuddly bunny is handed over to a delighted child. If “meat”, the hapless creature is clubbed to death with a lead pipe and skinned on the spot.

美国纪录片电影制片人迈克尔?摩尔(Michael Moore)在《罗杰和我》(Roger & me)中绘声绘色地(也可能是不经意地)披露了这种自欺欺人的行径。在展现密歇根州弗林特(Flint)贫困状况的一个场景中，有个女人在卖兔子，她问顾客要买“宠物还是兔肉”。如果答案是“宠物”，她就把小兔子交给一个满心欢喜的孩子。如果答案是“兔肉”，她便当场用一根铅管把这个可怜的动物打死并把皮剥下来。

The richer societies get, the more finicky they tend to become. Many (including myself) waste half the animal they have had killed on their behalf, refusing to consume its organs, intestines, brain and so on. These parts are often eaten, and sometimes prized, in non-western societies, particularly in Asia. In their willingness to consume almost all the animal, both China and Japan score far better than most western countries.

社会越是富有，往往就会变得越挑剔。许多人(包括我在内)会浪费掉因为他们而被杀死的动物的一半，我们拒绝食用它们的器官、肠子和脑子等等部位。但在西方之外的社会、尤其是亚洲，人们通常是吃这些的，而且有时还会将其视若珍品。就吃下动物所有部位的意愿而言，中国和日本要远远排在大多数西方国家的前面。

Surely, then, one can’t object to eating shark fin? Yet one can and one should. The reasons are to do with conservation and our broader ecosystem. Some species of shark have been depleted by 70 per cent and a few, such as smooth hammerhead, bull sharks and tiger sharks, by 90 per cent or more. Sharks are the ocean’s top predators. Their absence causes havoc. Off the east coast of America, sharks used to eat bottom-feeding rays. With shark numbers massively depleted, the rays have had a field day devouring scallops, clams and oysters, rapidly reducing stocks.

这么说来，想必我们不能反对吃鱼翅了?不，我们可以反对，而且也应当反对。因为这关系到环境保护以及更广泛生态系统的保护。一些种类的鲨鱼数量已减少了70%，少数几个种类的数量减少了90%，例如平双髻鲨、牛鲨和虎鲨。鲨鱼是位于海洋食物链最顶端的捕食者。若没有它们，生态系统会发生混乱。在美国东海岸附近，鲨鱼通常以在水底觅食的魟鱼为食。由于鲨鱼数量急剧减少，魟鱼就会趁机吃掉很多扇贝、蛤蜊和牡蛎，使这些物种的数量迅速减少。

Once shark fins are dried and in jars, it is all but impossible to tell what kind of shark they came from or whether they were finned. At one store in the Sheung Wan district of Hong Kong, a city where half the world’s shark fin is traded, a salesman admits he has no idea whether the fins come from endangered species. His shop does not sell shark meat, and he says it could be true that the carcase is simply tossed into the sea. As well as the cruelty, there is also the incredible waste. The average shark stretches to about 10 bowls of soup.

鲨鱼的鳍一旦被晒干并放入罐里，便几乎无可判断它们来自哪种鲨鱼，或者是否是被割下来的。在鱼翅交易量占全球一半的香港，上环区一家商店的一位销售人员坦承，他不清楚店里的鱼翅是否来自濒危鲨鱼。他的店里不卖鲨鱼肉，并且他表示，鲨鱼的尸体被直接抛回海里可能是真事。岂止是残忍，这也是一种巨大的浪费。平均每条鲨鱼只能加工出大约10碗鱼翅汤。

Certainly, shark fin is traditional. As one writer points out, to ask people to stop eating it is the equivalent of suggesting Americans give up turkey for Thanksgiving. There is doubtless a case for banning other types of food, such as some types of caviar and some species of whale. But cultures are not immutable. Traditions change, especially when they are unsustainable.

不错，鱼翅是一种传统食物。正如一位作家所指出的那样，要求人们不吃鱼翅就好比让美国人过感恩节时不要吃火鸡。我们无疑有理由禁止食用其它食物，比如某类鱼子酱和某些种类的鲸。但文化也不是一成不变的。传统会发生变化，尤其是当它们难以为继的时候。

Fortunately, many of the most prominent campaigners against shark fin are Chinese, with Yao Ming, the recently retired basketball sensation, among the most passionate. In Hong Kong, where shark fin used to be de rigueur at Cantonese banquets, many young people refuse to eat it. Besides, sharks have less cachet now they are siphoned from the oceans on an industrial scale.

值得庆幸的是，在反对吃鱼翅的最著名活动人士之中，许多都是中国人，比如近期退役的篮球明星姚明，就是行动最积极的人士之一。在香港，鱼翅曾是粤宴上的必备菜肴，但如今许多青年人拒绝食用鱼翅。此外，在捕杀鲨鱼实现工业化规模的今天，鱼翅的身价已大不如前。

In Canada, more than a few ethnic Chinese couples have made a show of not serving shark fin at their wedding. Judy Lao recently told the Vancouver Province why she didn’t have it at her reception. “We don’t really care, our friends don’t care, and shark fin has no nutritional value anyway,” she said. “So why should we serve it?” Why indeed.

在加拿大，许多对华裔夫妇已做出表率，在婚宴上不供应鱼翅。Judy Lao最近向《温哥华省报》(Vancouver Province)解释了，为什么她的婚宴没有上鱼翅。“我们并不介意这些，我们的朋友也不介意，再说鱼翅根本也没有什么营养价值，”她表示。“所以，我们为什么要上鱼翅呢?”确实，这有什么必要呢?

They litter is completely in order to save trouble, because they are at the moment of litter didnt thought that could damage the environment, there is no thought that could bring inconvenience to the cleaners. I wonder why, these people have no morality heart? If so, I ask them to stop littering, please them to protect the city, to protect our beautiful home.

Day, the once very blue, but because of air pollution from factories, make the blue of the sky becomes cloudy; Water was very clear, but because the effluent from the factory, once the bottom stream become colorful; Forest, once very lush, but due to the deforestation of people, make once lush forest into a desolate desert...

At our side, there are many "environmental small guards", of course, there are a lot of damage to the environment behavior; Environmental protection of people we need to encourage them to adhere to the environmental protection, destroy the people we need to tell them the benefits of protecting the environment and damage the environment.

I hope that people can do it later "protect the environment, everyone duty", and the ability to truly realize the importance of protecting the environment, and make everyone around him to do this, in this way, our earth will be able to more and more beautiful, more and more prosperous!

人们常说：建设一座现代化的城市，首先要保证这座城市要有良好的生态环境。

每天早上上学时，总是可以看到地面上干干净净的;中午放学的时候，我总是能清楚地看见地上的垃圾，而旁边的垃圾桶里却干干净净的，难道这些人不知道垃圾要丢到垃圾桶里吗?不，他们知道，连幼儿园的小朋友都知道垃圾要丢到垃圾桶里，他们怎么会不知道呢?他们乱丢垃圾完全是为了省事，因为他们在乱丢垃圾的那一刹那根本就没有想过这会破坏环境，根本就没有想过这会给清洁工带来不便。我很纳闷，这些人究竟还有没有公德心?如果有，我请他们不要再乱扔垃圾，请他们一起来保护这座城市，保护我们美丽的家园。

天，曾经很蓝，可是由于工厂排放的废气，使曾经湛蓝的天空变得浑浊不堪;水，曾经很清，可是由于工厂排放的污水，使曾经清澈见底的溪水变得花花绿绿;森林，曾经很茂盛，可是由于人们的过度砍伐，使曾经郁郁葱葱的森林变成了荒无人烟的沙漠……

在我们的身边，有许许多多的“环保小卫士”，当然，也有很多破坏环境的行为;环保的人需要我们去鼓励他们坚持环保，破坏的人需要我们去告诉他们保护环境的好处以及破坏环境的弊端。

我希望，以后人们能够做到“保护环境，人人有责”，并且能够真正地意识到保护环境的重要性，并且使身边的人都做到这一点，这样，我们的地球就能够越来越美好，越来越富强!

Last Friday, a chance encounter changed me and my familys life greatly.

After school, I was about to enter my apartment building when a little dirty dog, lying beside the du，stbin, caught my eye. He looked extremely weak. Immediately the homeless dog filled me with sympathy. So I bent down and held him in my arms. I rushed him upstairs and right away fixed him some food. Then, I gave him a bath. After the bath he looked energetic and refreshed. What a lovely dog!

When my parents got home, I asked if I could keep the dog. To my surprise and happiness, they agreed. From that day, he has become a member of our family. Everyone has enjoyed his company. My parents walk him often. He and I play joyfully.

Looking at the cute, happy dog today. I realize that I did the fight thing. I brought him to a warm, loving home and he has brought us great happiness and laughter.
