Summarize (总结).
Speak.
Choose one of the natural wonders to introduce it from these 6 aspects (方面).
The Dead Sea lies between Jordan and Israel. It’s a super salty lake but not a sea. It’s even saltier than the oceans! so people can lie on the surface. Its water and mud are good for our skin. But now the water level is going down, and the lake is becoming smaller. Because people are taking too much water from the rivers around it. Let’s use less water to save the Dead Sea!
Tip: Try to use linking words to be logical (逻辑的).
Share.
Nature doesn’t need us, but we need nature!
Let’s protect it and stay in peace with it!
