From June1, 2008, shops and supermarkets are forbidden from offering free plastic bags to customers, according to a new law. A nation-wide campaign against plastic bags has been launched.

Nowadays, Chinese people use up to three billion plastic bags a day. While being very convenient to shoppers, plastic bags also cause serious white pollution” and waste resources.

Though the ban may cause some inconvenience to shoppers, it can help reduce the use of plastic bags when people have to pay for them. Besides, the ban, in away, can promote public awareness of environmental protection.

So I think it necessary to forbid shops and supermarkets from offering free plastic bags. When shopping, we can use cloth bags or baskets instead of plastic bags as we used to.

Every child needs to receive education and they spend so much time to learn

knowledge, whether they are like or not. The adults always tell their children

that as they are young and full of energy, so they should learn knowledge and

skills, but most kids dont know the necessity of study. The most important

reason to study is to keep pace with the time. We live in the society that we

need to make connections with others. If we dont get the newest information, we

will be kicked out and have no idea what they are talking about, then isolation

happens. Whats more, when we are equipped with skills, we can make our choices

and take charge of our life. In order to live the comfortable life, we must

study hard and fight for our future.

Through observation, I found that plastic bags on peoples harm and pollution is very large. People often use plastic bags: mother to buy food and plastic bags; to shopping malls with plastic bags; in the restaurant to eat rice is also packaged with plastic bags to take home; even I buy stationery also with plastic bags. People do not know what they do to the environment caused by pollution, their own body caused any harm. Such as: people often put useless plastic bags thrown into the garbage, plastic bags in the rubbish will be smelly, so that the pollution of the air. People also throw plastic bags anywhere, a wind, plastic bags flying in the sky, the branches also see the tree is a plastic bag, and even the river there are plastic bags. This plastic bag in addition to pollution of the air, but also polluted our water resources.

We should raise peoples awareness, tell us the neighbors and friends and family together to beautify our environment. On the road to see the plastic bag quickly picked up, immediately took it to the garbage disposal. We want to start from my use less plastic bags, so that my mother every day to buy food or shopping when they first take their own bags, this is not very environmentally friendly? Or can use their own holding things as far as possible by hand, no plastic bags.

As the saying goes: "to protect the environment, everyone is responsible" We have to protect the home environment out of a force.

Recently, our efforts to protect wild animals was questioned by the public,

because the news is keep reporting that more and more wild animals was killed by

human beings, especially the very precious one. Innocent animals was dead for

their meat, fur and tooth, it was just used to fill up human beings desire. In

my point of view, the wild animals were protected effectively still has a long

way to go.

Firstly, people should try harder to make a better place for animals. The

land where the wild animals live was deprived by human being. For hundreds

years, people cut the trees to make land for their living and farming, wild

animals homeland was took, they have no choice but run away. What is more,

human beings break the food link in nature; wild animals can not find enough

food to keep alive. There is no doubt that the destruction of nature has become

a big problem to kill wild animal, for instance, a polar bear was starved to

death because of the greenhouse effect, the ice was melt away, the seadog and

fish that polar bear like to eat are far away from them. For those reasons,

people should protect the environment first if they want to protect wild animals

effectively.

Second, no buying, no killing. Some rich people like to wear fur coat, they

treat it as a status symbol, especially for rich woman, they think animal fur is

beautiful and warm, they will never consider that the fur they wear for years is

the skin that animal wear for their whole life, and they knew how bloody when

people took the fur from animal but they choose to ignore it. If people do not

buy the fur and tooth, lots of wild animals will be survived.

In sum, wild animals are our friends, we should give back and protect their

homeland, and stop buying their body part, or our future generations will see

them in zoo and museum.

There used to be a lot of tigers. They used to live in the woods and mountains. However, people are cutting down trees and destroying their homes. There are fewer and fewer tigers out there. It is very important to protect the tigers. So, we should protect their homes.

以前有很多老虎。他们住在森林和山里。但是人们在砍伐树木而且毁坏他们的家园。那里有越来越少的老虎。保护老虎很重要，所以我们应该保护他们的家园。

Animals are close friends of humans. In particular, the existence of rare animals, the whole world has become very colorful.so we should protect the animals as possible we can.

I have recently heard that rare animals in zoos have even suffered from harm, it shocked me deeply. Incident stems from some people is not enough awareness of animal protection and anima indifference.

Bearing in mind the protection of rare animals are the responsibility for each of us, we should publicize its meaning, and to take effective measures.

I think in the near future the world will be more beautiful with our efforts.

When I got settled, the total use of the microwave to do their own things

When I grow up I want to IT (information technology) industries. "Yes, I bought

a computer five years ago after his father, I am familiar with it day by day.

Until last year, and I have formed a deep bond with it. From then on, I want

success in the information technology industry to make contributions to the

cause of national computer. But my father said I could only do in the field

"testing the game," is what the new game, and always let me play with, the

report there will be any games. I think what he said is not their fault, I

always play games recently, those who do not have a veteran like Flash. In

recent days, I sprouted out of a bad idea : I will be playing the game that the

当我闲得没事时，就总自己用微波炉做点东西吃。一天，爸爸看见我这样，说我长大恐怕是要当厨师了。我立刻把头摇得像拨浪鼓似的，说：“那不是我的理想，我长大想做IT(信息技术)行业。”

没错，自从五年前爸爸给我买来电脑后，我就一天天地熟悉它。到了去年，我已经和它结下了不解之缘。从那时候开始，我就想要在信息技术行业取得成就，为国家计算机事业做出贡献。

可是爸爸说我在这个行业中只能做“游戏测试员”，就是什么游戏新出来，总是先让我玩玩，报告游戏中有什么错误。我觉得他说的没有错，我最近一段时间老是玩游戏，那些FLASH之类的老也不用了。

最近几天，我萌生出了一个不好的想法：将我玩的那个网络游戏的服务器给黑了，将我的账号修改成最高级别。可是，我想了又想，这样做是不对的，而且被警察抓到也是不好的。而且当黑客也需要很高的电脑技术的。

成为IT行业的一员是我的理想，所以我要向这个目标前进，提高自己的电脑技术.

It is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along

with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional

ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and

craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.

The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly,

traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new

sciences are always highly efficient, because modern science and technology

facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot, with which we can save much

money and time. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture,

especially the maintenance and repair of the historical buildings.

In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it

couldnt keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history

that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the

end.

Why should we protect wildlife animals?

Do you know of any endangered animals?Why are they in danger?

I think there are many endangered animals in the world,such as tigers and pandas.When farmers cut down trees,tigers can no longer hide and hunt.Many tigers are killed by people who want to sell their fur for money.And there are few places where pandas can live.We are not alone in the world.We human beings could not live without all the plants and animals around us.So protecting wildlife animals are very important.We must take measures to keep plants from being destroyed and stop animals from being killed.If each of us can plant a tree and build a birdhouse,the world will be more beautiful.It is very easy but useful.

On March 8th, 1975, the United Nation started to celebrate the

International Women’s Day. In China, the women’s day also called “March 8th”day.

Why we celebrate women’s day? There is a long story.

On March 8th, 1909, the Women’s Union of Chicago demonstrated against the

inequality between men and women. They demanded that they should have the same

payments, the same working hours as men had, and they should have the rights to

vote. They even put forward a slogan: Bread and Rose, which stood for equal

payment and a better living standard. This demonstrated had caused international

attention to the women’s rights. A year later, a critical meeting was held in

Demark, in order to promote the women’s liberation and equal rights, the council

members decided to establish the Women’s Day on March 8th. Then March 8th, 1911

just became the first Women’s day.

In our country, during the women’s day, the women usually have a day-off

holiday. The communities or companies will organize the recreational activities

such as a spring outing, a nice dinner and some extra welfare. On this special

day, the women can really realize that a woman’s value is not only giving birth

to a child, doing endless housework, but also find her own status in the modern

society. That is she can make a different. She can do everything that a man can

do. When you look around, you will find that more and more women are acting as

scientists, doctors, lawyers, even leaders. Just try to remember, women rule

half of this world. The life could quite different without their wisdom and

beauty.

Happy International Women’s Day!

At present, there is a hot word in our life - "low carbon". For this new

friend, I have done a detailed understanding, the original, low carbon is to

reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Low carbon environmental protection, green

travel, in todays society, bike sharing is the top priority.

In 2017, shared bicycles have sprung up on the streets of Fuzhou with

colorful colors, including blue, orange and yellow Dressed up in the beautiful

streets of Fuzhou. It serves every citizen of Fuzhou and brings convenience to

us. Everyone is contributing to the environmental protection cause of Fuzhou.

This is the responsibility and obligation of Fuzhou citizens. I see the rapid

development of bike sharing. There are yellow cars, Moby bikes, and hello bikes

This aroused my curiosity, and I also wanted to experience it. Today, I took my

mothers mobile phone and couldnt wait to find a small yellow car. I turned on my

mobile phone, scanned the QR code of the bike sharing car, and input the

password. I only heard "didi" and the lock on the bike was opened. This

operation is really convenient. So my mom and I got on the bike sharing. We

enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, talking and laughing all the way,

but also exercise. This is really a healthy and environmentally friendly way to

travel!

However, the good time is not long, bike sharing is facing unprecedented

disaster. Some are thrown into rivers, some are short of arms and legs, some are

locked in private Where are the qualities of these people? Is this the quality

that we Chinese should have? No, this is not the quality that we Chinese should

have! This small bike sharing is like a mirror, reflecting the quality of

Chinese people. The original intention of bike sharing is good, it can bring

convenience to the public, low-carbon environmental protection, green travel! I

hope you can maintain bike sharing together!

With the progress of society, peoples quality should be constantly

improved. Bike sharing is a good invention. Lets protect it together. Low carbon

and environmental protection. Starting from me, lets maintain a better tomorrow

with both hands. Lets make our sky bluer and our air cleaner!

The earth that we have been living on has changed since then. Once the pond was clear and the pond was a frog, and there were a couple of small fish in the pond. Now the pond is filthy, and there is a lot of garbage everywhere, and every now and then a dead fish comes out of the water. The sea was blue; Now the sea, because of human "processing", once "monotonous" blue has become now "beautiful" green. When I went back to my hometown last month, my father said to me on the road, "Ill take you to the river where I swam when I was a child." I began to wonder, thinking, "whats going to be like the river where my dad used to swim?" Thinking about thinking, we have unwittingly to grandmas, voracious after a meal, I finally can glimpse, can go to see the real appearance of the river. Looking at the river, I said, "ah!" I didnt realize that the river had a foul smell on the river. Even the tree at the edge of the pool was bowed head by the smell of pain, as if suffering. "Ah" father sighed and said, "now, no real morality, such a good one, was destroyed by now. It seems you this generation of people is not good, has the good peaceful land cant see at all." Where was the clean river once? Why is water so dirty? Is everyone not going to be public now? We really need to rethink. About a week or two ago, I saw a story in the news. News about said: there are some environmental protection volunteers after days of hard, get one from a most of the rubbish in the river pick, finally also drink a clear. But, we have thought, if we have so many volunteers, if we still dont have a sense of environmental protection. Then our lovely earth will never have peace. So please everyone one by one action, and become a good citizen morality, let our mother - the earth a rest and for our children and grandchildren to see the blue sea, see the blue sky, the vast grassland.

In the last century, the level of human science and technology soared, and the quality of life became higher and higher, and the world was silent in the joy of rapid development. It is not until this century that the incessant scourge of human development is a wake-up call, and the word "environmental protection" is becoming more and more specific...

The lessons of history are painful, and he deeply affects every one of us, such as SARS in 2003, the snow in 2008, the earthquake... Both give us the lesson of blood and tell us the importance of environmental protection. Of course, the nightmare is not over, and this year the swine flu epidemic is raging around the world, and the catastrophe seems to be getting closer. The arctic ice sheet is still melting, the hole in the ozone layer is growing... Scientists have calculated that the Pacific island of tuvalu is about to disappear in 50 years. If humanity does not pay attention to the earth, the big cities in the east of our country will become "the Venice of the east", and the only people who will greet us will perish.

So what is green? Some say it is the responsibility of the state, others say it is a national problem. This is true, but is there no personal problem? I said -- yes!

Earth to serve each and every one of us, every one of us on the earth are all have a responsibility, too much if we owe human nature, and dont want to return, the domineering creditor will no one earth, all living creatures on the earth will suffer.

So, whether its you I should have done that he "environmental protection", "environmental protection" is not difficult, as long as can do everything for the sake of the earth to protect the resources around, always about the earth in mind.

As middle school students, we should start from the school of "environmental protection", dont open my tired when the sun is shining lamp, dont let the tap water to pour into the sewer, dont let the junkve picked home! On the other hand, we have to urge parents and families to drive less, ride bikes and exercise more and be "green" volunteers.

The country has the duty to do, the people have the problem of this treatment, the individual has no duty to do, we ask ourselves: do you do the green? Have you put "green" in your mind?

The protection of the border is not a new problem for us, and our government has long proposed clear targets for governance. As every ordinary person in real life, although it is impossible to work directly in environmental protection, we can start from small things and start from me. Can you raise your hand when you see the tap in the bathroom? When the battery runs out, can you classify it instead of throwing it away? How about when shopping doesnt use ultra-thin plastic bags? ...... Small things are small, but they reflect how much environmental awareness we have.

Recycling one ton of waste paper can regenerate 800 kg of paper, can save 17 tree. 20 waste recycling boxes can create a beautiful pen container. Recycling one glass bottle to save the energy, can make the bulb light for four hours. Recycling one aluminum can is to save the half oil cans. So we should place the garbage classification, reproduction by the relevant department after recycling reuse!

As long as we start from oneself, starts from the minor matter, everybody joint efforts, perseverance, we will be for the society, also a piece of clear water, blue sky for yourself, I hope everybody can voluntarily protect the environment, to make our environment more beautiful life.

境保护对我们来说并不是一个新问题，我国政府也早就提出了明确的治理目标。作为现实生活中的每一个普通人，虽然不可能都直接从事环保工作，但我们完全可以从小事做起，从我做起。当看到洗手间的水龙头在滴水时，是不是能够举手关上呢?当电池用完后能否分类收藏处理而不是随手扔掉呢?当购物时能否自觉不使用超薄塑料袋呢?……一件件小事虽然都很不起眼，但却体现我们究竟具备了多少环保意识。

回收1吨废纸可再造出800千克好纸,可以挽救17棵大树.回收20个废餐盒可以造出一个漂亮的笔筒.回收一个玻璃瓶节省的能量,可使灯泡亮4个小时.回收1个铝罐就等于节约了半个铝罐的石油.所以我们应将垃圾分类安放,由有关部门回收后再生产再利用!

只要我们从自己做起，从小事做起，大家共同努力，持之以恒，就一定能为社会、也为自己留下一片碧水蓝天，我希望人人都能自觉保护环境，让我们的生活环境更加美好。

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?

Last week, I saw a very impressive documentary about panda. A professor

studied panda in the early 1980s went to the wild life and kept trace of wild

giant panda for many years. As a result, he found that it was human being that

made these lovely animals die out. At that time, many people believed that giant

panda became less because of the low rate of newborn babies. But it was not

true. People cut trees for making profit at that time. Panda lose homeland and

they lacked of food. Thanks to these valuable data, the government took the

policy to protect the animals. So today, the number of giant panda is

increasing. People realize the importance of protecting the environment and it

is the best way to protect wild animals, they are the indispensable part of the

nature.

My house have a garden downstairs, where flowers bloom all the year round, is the main place to neighbors leisure entertainment. The children often play there, I also liked to play there.

Homework today, I came to visit my good friends in the garden, flowers, they found flowers side there are a lot of rubbish. Think of "the teacher said to protect the environment is the responsibility of each one of us", I immediately ran over to pick up all the rubbish into the dustbin, at this moment, the other side of the garden came the cries of children: Peng Linqian, come and play! I cant help but stopped, the in the mind like two little quarrelling, pick up, afraid of see after children, said I was picking up litter. Dont pick up, let the garbage lying there quietly? Because of this problem, let me in a quandary. Pick up or not pick up? Ask mom and dad to say again!

Mom and dad is walking toward the side, and the father said, "of course it is important to environmental protection, you should start from around things, do not litter. If you see a garbage on the ground, should pick it up, so that you do to protect the environment." Mom said so.

Mom and dad gave me courage. Environmental protection is more important than face, they would say I am picking up litter and let them say! I dont care now. If a man pick up a garbage, more people will be able to pick up more junk. Earth must be the earth more than it is now clean and more beautiful.

Without hesitation, I run past, all the trash in the underground (bin) back to their home. Then, the people around to me to approval.

我家楼下有一个花园，那里一年四季都有鲜花盛开，是邻居们休闲娱乐的主要场所。小朋友们也经常在那里嬉戏，我也特别喜欢到那里玩。

今天做完作业，我又来到花园里看望我的那些好朋友——花，却发现花儿的身边有很多垃圾。想到老师说的"保护环境是我们每一个人应尽的责任"，我立刻跑过去准备把垃圾都捡起来送进垃圾箱，这时，花园的另一边传来小朋友的喊声：彭林茜，快来玩!我不禁停住了脚步，心里像有两个小人在吵架，捡，怕小朋友看见后，说我是捡垃圾的。不捡，就让垃圾静静的躺在那儿?就因为这个问题，让我左右为难。捡还是不捡?问问爸爸妈妈再说吧!

爸爸妈妈正好也朝这边走来，爸爸说："那当然是环保重要，你要从身边的小事做起，不要乱扔垃圾。如果看到地上有垃圾，当然应该捡起来，这样你就为保护环境做了贡献。"妈妈也这么说。

爸爸妈妈的话给了我勇气。环保比面子更重要，他们要说我是捡垃圾的就让他们去说吧!我现在不在乎了。要是一人捡一次垃圾，更多的人就能捡更多的垃圾。那时候的地球一定比现在的地球更干净，更美丽。

我毫不犹豫地跑过去，把地下的垃圾全部送回了他们的家(垃圾箱)。这时，周围的人们向我投来赞许的目光。
