Save the earth: Let's do our part!
The earth is the only home for everyone on it. It provides all the resources we need for survival, from fresh water to rich land. However, human activities cause serious problems. Climate change, pollution, and loss of biodiversity are now harming it. Our planet is crying for our help now. As middle school students, we have the power to make a difference and help save the earth!
To protect the earth, we can start by saving water, planting more trees and reducing pollution. Saving animals and recycling things whenever possible are necessary as well.
Let's do our part to save the earth!
[名师点评]
短文紧扣“保护地球”主题，从现状分析到行动建议层层递进，最后发出号召，展现了作者对环境保护的深刻思考和强烈的社会责任感，具有很好的示范意义。
① 使用from fresh water to rich land具体化地球资源，比抽象描述更具说服力；
② 该句使用了“地球在哭泣”的拟人化修辞，更能激发共鸣；
③ 使用as middle school students进行身份定位，强调主体责任，突破常规环保文章的泛泛而谈；
④ by后面使用三个动宾结构，形成韵律感。

One possible version:
Protecting the forests
Forests are of great importance. They are home to countless animals and plants, and provide us with fresh air. Moreover, forests help prevent soil erosion and regulate the climate.
However, forests are facing serious problems. People are cutting down trees for farming. This destroys the homes of animals and makes many kinds of plants and animals die. To save forests, we can plant more trees and use less paper. Calling on more people to protect forests is also very important.
Let’s take action now. Join forest protection campaigns and make a difference.

The earthquake is one of the most dangerous natural disasters in the world. Therefore, it's important to do the right things when an earthquake happens. Here are some tips you should follow during the earthquake. First of all, you must keep calm. If you scream too much, everyone else will scream too. If you are in the classroom, you had better go under your desk quickly. Stay under your desk until the classroom stops shaking. Then, get out of the classroom one by one. If you are outdoors, just stay where you are. Don't hide near tall buildings or trees, because they may fall down. Don't jump off the tall buildings if you are above the second floor. Instead, you should hide in some small space with strong support like the toilet and the kitchen.
