A
We all know that the environment is important to us all. We should always protect it from pollution. There is a discussion (讨论) on the Internet about the best ways to protect the environment.
David (A farmer) I think the best way to protect the environment is to plant more trees. Trees can make the air clean and make our city look nicer.
Frank (A bank clerk (职员)) Driving is one cause of pollution. If you want to use your car, ask yourself a question, “Do I really need my car ” Walk or use your bike if the trip is a short one. So in my opinion, walking or riding a bike is a good way to protect the environment.
Sally (A housewife) I usually use natural things and try to recycle things as much as possible. When I go shopping, I use a basket instead of plastic bags.
Helen (A doctor) I think water is the most valuable thing. If we don’t save water, it could run out. So I often shorten my shower time and turn off the running water after washing my hands. And I ask my daughter Lisa and my son John to do so.
We can do far more than these things in our daily life. Please protect the environment from small things. If you have any other good suggestions, please call us.

The worst tourist (游客) in the world may be Mr. Green. Once he went from San Francisco to his hometown in Italy to visit his family. The plane made a one-hour stop at the airport in New York. But Mr. Green thought it was Rome, so he got off (从……下来) the plane.
When nobody was there to meet him, Mr. Green thought perhaps they were held up (延迟) by heavy traffic. While looking for his address, Mr. Green found that the old “Rome” changed a lot. He couldn’t see many old buildings. There were high modern buildings here and there. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian.
After six hours’ traveling around in a bus, the driver had to take him to a police station. Mr. Green knew very little English, so he had to ask a policeman for help. Luckily, the policeman was born in Italy and answered him in the same language.
Mr. Green didn’t believe he was in New York when he was told so. In order to help him catch a plane back to San Francisco, a policeman drove very fast with siren (警笛) on to send Mr. Green to the airport. “Look,” said Mr. Green to himself, “I know I’m in Italy. That’s how the policeman drives.”

C
The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means (工具). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up (用完) or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It’s bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. The air pollution with sulfur dioxide (SO2) in it is now the most dangerous kind of pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must pay attention to the rise in pollution at the same time.
