92. A Letter to a Newspaper Editor 给报社编辑的一封信
July 19, 2002
Dear Sir or Madam,
We are writing to you for your help. Our hometown used to be a beautiful place in the past. Thick trees and green grass could be seen everywhere. But recently, people have cut down more and more trees in order to build houses and grow more crops. As time has gone on, the whole forest has almost been destroyed and the green hills have changed into wasteland. As a result, sandstorms strike us now and then, especially in spring. We suffer a lot from sandstorms. We do hope that all people realize the terrible results if we don't pay enough attention to our environment. Instead of cutting trees down, we should take good care of the forests and plant more trees so as to improve our living conditions.
Yours sincerely,
All the students
Class One, Grade Six,
No. 1 Elementary School
先生或女士，
我们写这封信是寻求帮助。我们的家乡过去曾经是一个美丽的地方，茂密的树林和绿茵茵的草地到处可见。但是近来，人们为了盖楼房和种庄稼，砍伐的树越来越多。随着时间的推移，整个树林几乎被毁，青山变成了荒山，结果是沙尘暴时时袭击我们，尤其是在春天，沙尘暴给我们带来很多困难。我们真切希望人们能够意识到不注意保护环境的可怕结果。我们不应该伐树，而应该爱护森林，多植树，以便改变我们的生活环境。
您的真诚的
第一小学 六年级一班全体同学
