2．例文
Tree Planting Day
March 12th is Tree Planting Day. This year our school bought enough trees before that day. On that day, we didn’t have classes. All the teachers and students planted trees around our school.
We began to plant trees as soon as we got to school. Some students dug holes. Some students put the trees into the holes. The others put the earth back into the holes. Then we pushed the earth hard with our feet. Finally, we watered the trees. It’s pleasant to plant trees. Since then, we have looked after the trees carefully, and the trees grow very well. They make our school more beautiful.
In a word, if you want to make the air clean, please try your best to protect the environment and plant more trees.
3．例文
The importance of trees
Trees play a crucial role in our lives and are essential for the health of our planet.
First, they are vital for environmental protection. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which is necessary for life. They also help to reduce air pollution by trapping dust and other pollutants. Second, trees have numerous other uses. They provide us with wood, which is used for building homes, making furniture, and creating paper. Third, trees are a source of food and shelter for many animals, keeping the balance of our ecosystem.
Let’s protect trees and make our earth more beautiful.
4．例文：
Dear Eric,
I’m glad to introduce bamboo to you. In China, bamboo has a special meaning. We always see bamboo as the symbol of persistence.
Bamboo grows in southern China. In spring, baby bamboo comes out of the earth, and we cook dishes with it. Then it grows taller and taller. Since bamboo is hollow inside, people will cut it down for furniture when it is tall enough. People also draw and use it to show its spirit of modesty and honesty.
Yours,
Li Hua

In summer and autumn, it grows taller and taller with green leaves. However, it isn’t like other trees. It’s hollow inside its body.

6．例文
The Importance of Plants
My name is Li Ming. Now, let me introduce the importance of plants to you.
Plants are very common in our daily life. There are many trees and flowers around us. Plants need sunlight, water, and good soil to grow well. They are very important because they give us the air we breathe and food to eat. Some plants can turn into medicine and clothing. What’s more, plants can give animals homes and enough food. They also help to keep the environment healthy.
In a word, plants are so important to us. We should protect them and try our best to plant more trees.
