Model: It is very dangerous to pollute rivers because…

Our environment is in danger. The earth gives people mineral resources, rivers, forests, fields. But people often do things which pollute land and waters greatly.

Plant and factories cause the pollution of the nature. They throw harmful substances into the air, land and water. It is very dangerous because it does harm to people’s health.

Many kinds of birds, animals, fish and plants are in the so-called ``Red Book``. In this book there are such plants and animals which are protected by the country, because people can destroy them in a very short period of time.

Every year people cut down more trees, build more roads and use more land for farming. And we live in the towns and cities full of rubbish.

People must do everything they can to save our planet. We must stop cutting down the rainforests, because rainforests are the lungs of our planet. We must stop nuclear weapon tests. We can recycle most kinds of paper, glass, metal and plastic. Recycling saves trees and energy and protects the environment from pollution.

It is a wonderful world we live in. and we must keep it clean and take care of it.
