changing (3) because we are polluting it with chemicals and it is keeping in too much (4)heat!
This will (5) cause the sea (6) level to rise and (7) drown cities and even countries. The
burning and cutting down of trees is making the greenhouse effect (8) worse because
trees take in harmful gases. Our (9) habit of using things once and then throwing them
away creates (10) mountains of rubbish and it pollutes our lands and seas. In order to
save our world, the book is asking us to become ‘green consumer’.

hesitant)

Director
Shenzhen Environmental Bureau
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to inform you about two environmental problems. The first problem is an air
problem on Garden Street. It is caused by a factory building. A lot of unpleasant smoke
comes out of the building’s chimney. It pollutes the area and makes everything smell
unpleasant. The second problem is a noise problem. It exists all around our school. There
are too many cars and lorries rushing by. When there is a traffic jam, everyone keeps their
horn. It makes it difficult for us to study. I would be grateful if you could let me know your
plan to deal with these problems. I hope that you will take action quickly before the
environment is too badly damaged.
Thank you.
Your faithfully,
Chen Chen.
