The purpose of this passage is:
1. to tell readers读者 about his / her childhood童年.
2. to describe the environment
he / she grew up长大 in.
3. to call on呼吁 people to protect the environment.
4. to ask people to bring back
the fish.
I always think about my childhood experiences. I would visit a stream next to our home to get water for my mother. I would drink water straight from the stream. I would play with the fallen flowers in the stream. And I would try to touch all kinds of fish. But every time I put my little fingers under them, they would go away. Later, I saw thousands of young fish swimming through the clear water against the background of the brown earth. This is the world I received from my parents.
Today, over 50 years later, the stream has dried up. Women walk long distances for water, which is not always clean, and children don’t even know what they have lost. It was not until now that I realized the importance of protecting the environment.
It’s time we took action for future generations! We should save water and make the best use of it. At the same time, trees should be planted as many as possible. What’s more, we can always go green by carrying our cloth bags while shopping and taking public transportation or shared bikes while moving around.
If every one of us gets involved, we will be able to restore the home of the young fish and give back to our children a world of beauty and wonder.

I always think of my childhood experience in an African village. I would visit a stream next to our home to get water for my mother. I would drink water straight from the stream. I would play with the fallen flowers in the stream. And I would try to touch all kinds of fish.

Earth Hour
Earth Hour is a global event held on the last Saturday of March every year. It calls on people to turn off their lights and other electrical appliances(电器) like computers for one hour. In this way, people can pay more attention to climate change and realize the importance of saving our planet. Earth Hour first started in 2007 in Sydney and many cities around the world followed its lead in the following year.

On March 28th, 2009, up to 88 countries and 4 000 cities participated(参加) in it. From 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm on that day, many cities in China such as Beijing, Dalian and Hangzhou also took part in the activity. It seems to be a dark world when the lights are turned off. People are trying to do something special to protect the environment through such a beautiful “dark moment”.
