【连句成篇】
The river of my hometown was once polluted, with rubbish of different colours floating on it and no fish in it. Seriously polluted, the river occasionally gave off an unpleasant smell with the wind, especially in hot summer.
The local residents and several factories on both sides of the river were to blame. The water quality suffered greatly from an increasing volume of the local residents, who frequently threw huge amounts of garbage into it. Worse still, the waste from the factories was directly poured into the river, contributing to the severe water pollution of the river. So far, a comprehensive initiative has been started, with a number of measures that addressed the issues, such as improving the collection and transport of household waste and a restriction regarding the disposal of waste in the factories. The government also uses the media to raise public awareness of the environmental protection.
With our joint efforts, the river has been turned into a clean one. I do hope that we individuals can protect the environment and live harmoniously with nature.
