【参考范文(作业一)】
"A fable for tomorrow" tells a sad story of a once beautiful town. It was surrounded by prosperous farms and clear streams, with birds singing everywhere. However, terrible disasters struck later: animals sickened and died, birds disappeared, and plants withered. The silent town was no longer full of life. As the author reveals, human beings themselves caused the disaster by using harmful chemicals. This fable warns us to protect the environment, or we will face serious consequences.
【参考范文(作业二)】
Dear classmates,
After reading "A fable for tomorrow", I was deeply shocked by the terrible disaster caused by human activities. The once beautiful town became lifeless because of environmental pollution, which is a warning for us.
As students, we have the responsibility to protect our environment. First, we can reduce the use of disposable products to cut down waste. Second, we can plant trees and take care of plants around us. Third, we can share environmental knowledge with our families and friends to raise their awareness.
The environment is our common home. Let’s take action now to avoid the fable becoming a reality. Only by working together can we keep our world beautiful!
Yours sincerely,
Your Name
