Dear editor,
     I'd like to tell you something about the changes of my hometown. My hometown used to be a beautiful place. Thick trees and green grass could be seen everywhere. However, in order to build houses and grow more crops, people cut down more and more trees. As time went on, the whole
forest was almost destroyed. Gradually, the green hills have changed into a wasteland. As a result, sandstorms struck us now and then, from which we suffered a lot. So, I do hope that all the people should realize the terrible result of not caring about our environment. What's more, we should take good care of the forests and plant more trees instead of cutting them down so as to improve our living conditions.
                                                             Yours,

  敬爱的编辑同志：
    我想跟您讲讲我家乡的变化。过去我的家乡是一个荚丽的地方。茂密的树木和青草随处可见。可是，为了盖房和种更多的庄稼，人们砍了越来越多的树。随着时间流逝，整个树林几乎全被破坏了。渐渐地，青山变成了荒地。结果，沙尘暴时常袭来，给我们带来很多灾害。所以，我真的希望所有的人们都认识到不保护环境的严重后果。还有，为了改善生活条件，我们应看护好树林，种更多的树而不是砍树。

Dear editor,
     I wrote to tell you about my worry. In the past my hometown was a beautiful place with green hills around our village. But in recent years,more and more trees have been cut down because people wanted to build more houses and grow more crops. As time went on, the green hills have turned into a wasteland. It is hard to grow things on it. Besides, sandstorms struck us now and then, which brought us a lot of hardships. So, I do hope that all the people should be aware of the importance of protecting the environment. Thinking of the terrible result, we shouldn't cut more trees without planting them any more. Without the forest we wouldn't live a better life.
                                                             Yours,
