How to protect the earth In the past, we human beings lived in harmony with nature. It was obvious that the environment was much better, so we enjoyed a comfortable life in time. However, with the population growing, what we can see is that more and more trees have been cut down to make buildings and factories;so many problems have multiplied since several years ago. As a result, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, so whether environment will be taken care of will depend on whether this problem can be solved. So lets take immediate action to protect the earth,and it is everyones responsibility to protect the environment. I hope people from different areas work together to protect our earth .Only in this way can we prevent the earth from being destroyed.Homework.1. Remember the usage of important words and expressions.2. Review the subject clause.
