【范文赏读】
With the approach of the World Earth Day, which falls on April 22, I strongly appeal to every one of us to take care of our planet.
The earth is suffering. Greedy human beings are constantly asking for natural resources, leading to the speedy exhaustion. Meanwhile, some unreasonable human activities result in a dramatic rise in carbon emissions, bringing the global temperature to an unprecedented level and making the earth an unsuitable place for our existence. Faced with the grave situation, we should stop acting foolishly, but instead turn to a green and lowcarbon lifestyle. Not only should we choose public transport instead of private vehicles, but we also need to save energy in our daily life.
Our Mother Earth is severely “sick”. It’s high time we acted to “heal” her. With joint efforts, she is bound to regain her vigour!
