Yancheng Nature Reserve is one of the world's most important wetlands. It is in the north-east of China. It covers an area of about 45,000 hectares. It is home to many birds, including the red-crowned crane. The reserve is a perfect place for wildlife.
However, wetlands are facing problems. Some people want to have more space for farms and buildings. This leads to less space for wildlife. The government has made laws to stop all these things. It also encourages people to protect wetlands.

第七部分 书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Tom,
How is it going? I'm writing to tell you about how to protect the earth.
The earth is facing many problems. The ocean is facing a serious problem with pollution. Millions of tons of plastic are in the ocean. This harms or even kills sea life. Wetlands are also facing problems. Some people want to have more space for farms and buildings. This leads to less space for wildlife.
What can we do to protect the earth? First, we should use environment-friendly products. Second, we should not throw rubbish in the forest. Third, we should take our own chopsticks when eating out. Fourth, we should clean up the beach. Finally, we should encourage people to protect the earth. It is also a good idea to join an environmental group and work as a volunteer.
It is time for us to take action. If we work together, we can make our world a better place.
What about you? What do you think we should do? Please write back and tell me.
Yours,
Li Hua
