大自然是善良的慈母,同時也是冷酷的屠夫。—— 雨果
大自然不僅每一個領域都是美妙絕倫，還孕育了無數生命，但當人們對其肆意破壞，大肆掠奪的時候，大自然也會變得冷酷無情。
季羨林說，一個人活在世界上，必須處理好三個關係：第一，人與大自然的關係。關愛大自然就是關愛自己。從現在開始，保護環境，共創美好家園，共享和諧發展。

Dear Jack，
Glad to receive your E-mail. As you know, there has been an activity of "Construction of an energy-saving society" in our school recently. I think it is of vital importance because our society is facing the increasing danger of lack of energy. Many reasonable suggestions are given during the activity. In my opinion, there're many things we can do. In our daily life, we shouldn't waste any food or paper. It is also advisable to refuse to use disposable chopsticks and plastic bags. Besides, I think the government should make it a rule that those used textbooks should not be thrown away when we graduate from school, because most of the books are in good condition and can be recycled. Actually, there are quite a lot that we can easily do: such as, try to take buses or ride bicycles instead of driving cars. All of these will definitely help to construct an energy-saving society.
Yours，
Li Hua
演講類
假如你是某中學的同學，將參加主題為"Let's ride bicycles"的英語演講比賽活動，請撰寫一份演講稿。
Good morning, everyone, I'm Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School. The topic of my speech is "Let's Ride Bicycle". As is known to all, with the improvement of people's living standard, cars have become a popular means of transport, bringing great convenience to our life. However, they have also caused some problems such as pollution and traffic jams. How can we solve the problem then? As far as I'm concerned, riding bicycles is a good solution. For one thing, bicycles don't need any petrol and they are energy-saving. For another, bicycles are environmentally friendly because they don't give off waste gas. What's more, riding bicycles is a good way to exercise and it is beneficial to our health. Therefore, let's take the responsibility to build up a low carbon city by riding bicycles. Come on and join us! Thank you!
闡述觀點類
近年來，我國大部分地區遭受霧霾侵襲，造成這一現象的主要原因是工廠排出的廢氣和汽車尾氣等，低碳、環保已成為當今時代的主題，從我們身邊的小事做起，保護環境。現請以"Let's Do Something to Save Our Environment"為題，寫一篇短文。
Let's Do Something to save Our Environment
We all live on the earth. The earth is our home. We have only one earth. We must take care of it. If we harm it, we will have a terrible end. There are three problems in our earth, which are pollution, disaster and illness.
It's our duty to protect our environment. So everyone should do something to save our environment. First, we should save every drop of water, such as turning off the taps after using it and recycling the water. For example, we can water the plants and clean the rest room with our used water. Second, we should save energy, such as turning off the lights when we leave，doing more walking, more bicycling and less driving and so on. Third, we should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories.
Let's act now to save our environment. If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, the earth will become much more beautiful.
