大自然是善良的慈母,同时也是冷酷的屠夫。—— 雨果
大自然不仅每一个领域都是美妙绝伦，还孕育了无数生命，但当人们对其肆意破坏，大肆掠夺的时候，大自然也会变得冷酷无情。
季羡林说，一个人活在世界上，必须处理好三个关系：第一，人与大自然的关系。关爱大自然就是关爱自己。从现在开始，保护环境，共创美好家园，共享和谐发展。

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
演讲类
假如你是某中学的同学，将参加主题为"Let's ride bicycles"的英语演讲比赛活动，请撰写一份演讲稿。
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!
阐述观点类
近年来，我国大部分地区遭受雾霾侵袭，造成这一现象的主要原因是工厂排出的废气和汽车尾气等，低碳、环保已成为当今时代的主题，从我们身边的小事做起，保护环境。现请以"Let's Do Something to Save Our Environment"为题，写一篇短文。
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.
