【参考范文(作业一)】
The Amazon rainforest is a natural treasure with rich biodiversity. Covering around 6 million square kilometres, it produces over 20% of the Earth’s oxygen, breathing life into the planet. Many rare species survive here, making it a key part of the global ecosystem. However, it is damaged due to human activities. We must take action to protect it, for its survival is closely related to the future of humanity.
【参考范文(作业二)】
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to call for urgent action to protect the Amazon rainforest, a natural treasure that maintains the Earth’s ecological balance.
The Amazon rainforest is home to one in ten known species worldwide and produces over 20% of the Earth’s oxygen. Unfortunately, about 17% of it has been lost due to human activities like agriculture. To save this precious ecosystem, I suggest stricter laws be made to ban illegal logging and over-farming. Meanwhile, public awareness campaigns should be launched to let people realize the rainforest’s importance. Additionally, supporting sustainable development projects in local communities can reduce destructive activities.
Protecting the Amazon is protecting our own future. I hope you will take these suggestions into consideration.
Sincerely,
Your Name
