The importance of protecting the environment

Dear Editor,

In the past, my hometown used to be a beautiful place. It was surrounded by plenty of trees and covered with green grass everywhere. Later, people destroyed many trees to turn for its into farmland and a lot of water and soil was carried away down the hills. Thus, much farmland has became waste land. Whats worst, this waste land is increasing and our village is suffering from storms. I think its time for us to realize the importance of protecting the environment and to do something about it, such as planting trees, growing grass and so on. I am sure that our hometown will become beautiful again in the few years time if we do so.

Yours sincerely,

LiuMei.
