A Voluntary Activity
Last Sunday, our class launched a voluntary activity, the theme of which is to make the city more beautiful and advocate a lowcarbon lifestyle. In the morning, we went to plant trees in the suburbs. We worked in cooperation. Some dug holes, some carried and planted trees, and the others watered them. In the afternoon, we went to the People’s Square to hand out leaflets, raising people’s awareness of environmental protection. Most of the students think highly of the activity, which will surely have a positive effect on our daily life.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s everyone’s duty to protect the environment. As long as there is the possibility of saving our planet, do take action now before it is too late. Low carbon living is surely a way of great significance.

Hello everyone！
I'm Li Hua, from Class Three Grade Two. I'm honored to speak here, and the topic of my speech is going to school in an Environmental- friendly Way. As we all know, with the development of economy, cars have found their way to ordinary families. While more and more students can enjoy the convenience that private cars bring by taking them to school, they cause problems such as air pollution,noise pollution and traffic jams at the same time.
So what can we students do to help deal with these problems? As far as I am concerned, we can ride a bike to school instead of a car ride. In this way, not only can we do our part in environmental protection, but also we can build up our health. Faint as we may seem separately, but together we can absolutely make a difference.
That's all. Thank you.

【范文必背】 One possible version: Dear editor,
I am writing to tell you something I have witnessed during my visit to Beijing.
Last summer I went to Beijing for holiday, the moment I stepped on the capital of my motherland I was thrilled by its beautiful and magnificence. However, when I was exploring this city I spotted something disagreeable.
First, when I was waiting for my turn to buy a ticket in the subway station, some people ignored the line and just jumped the queue. Then, while visiting the Great Wall I was shocked to see names were written or carved on this ancient wall. Worse still, rubbish was thrown everywhere while rubbish tins were within our reach!
These uncivilized behaviors not only destroyed the cultural relics, but also do harm to the harmony of our society. It will leave a bad impression on foreign visitors. Therefore, I think it's our responsibility to protect our cultural relics and build up a harmonious society.
Yours sincerely, Li Hua

Dear headmasters, teachers, classmates and friends:
I’m very proud that I have chosen to speak to you all today. I’m a bit(=a little) nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many people ,so please forgive me if it shows.
As we all know, the environment around us is getting worse and worse . In some places we can’t see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. But what can we do? How to protect our environment? For example, we can go to school on foot or by bike. We can use shopping baskets not plastic bags when we go shopping and we can use both sides of the paper when we write. In a word, if everyone pays more attention to our environment, there will be less pollution and our lives will be better.
“There is only one earth”. I hope everyone will protect our environment well. Thanks!

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【范文必背】 One possible version: Dear students，
Earth Day is coming. To build a beautiful home, we should save our natural resources and not destroy the environment.
First of all, the habit of saving is very important because natural resources in our world may run out one day. Meanwhile, this habit can help us avoid producing waste, which will make our home——the Earth more beautiful. As students, we should make our contributions. For example, we can recycle our textbooks or use both sides of our exercise books. In this way more wood would be saved. What's more, we Chinese have a good tradition of saving and regard waste as shameful, so let's make joint efforts to create a green and harmonious environment.
Your cooperation will be much appreciated.
