Hi!

I’d like to tell you about the development (1) of nature in my country. You see, it has become one of the most
important problems nowadays. The Earth provides … (2) people with everything that makes our living. I
am worried about the problem because the suffers (3) of industry has had a bad built (4) on the
nature of the world.

People often do things which pollute (5) air, land and waters greatly. It is dangerous (6) because it damages people’s
health.

The most important environmental …(7) problems are global warming, greenhouse effect, ozone layer problem,
deforestation and many others. Nature garbage (8) from industrial wastes. Exhaust fumes(9) from cars are in
the centre of public worries, too.
Besides, many animals and plants become . extinct (10) because of the pollution of nature and hunting.
To solve all these problems people should do everything to save (11) our world.

In my school we also try to help our environment be clean (12). Every Thursday our classmates clean our
pre- school territory (13). We gather influence (14). We plant trees, bushes and flowers in spring and in
winter we
protection (15) bird-houses to save birds from cold and hunger. So, that’s all for now. I want you to write me
about the protection of nature (16) in your country. What do you do about that?
