Answer

Let’s Do Something to Save Our Environment

It is recently reported that some rivers and lakes have dried up in South China. A lot of fishes died. The bottoms of the rivers and lakes have become grass land. The water is becoming less and less because of the bad weather.

So everyone should do something to save our environment. First, we should save every drop of water, such as turning off the taps after using it and recycling the water. For example, we can water the plants and clean the rest room with our used water. Second, we should save energy, such as less turning on the lights and turning off the lights when we leave;Do more walking, more bicycling and less driving and so on. Third, we should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories.

Let’s act now from everything to save our environment. Don’t let our tears be the last drop of water in the world!

【解析】这是一篇给材料作文，写一篇以“Save(拯救)our earth”为主题的英文。结合所给材料，可知本文主要考查一般现在时态，人称为第一，三人称，注意主谓一致问题，句子结构主要为系表结构和动宾结构，注意一些常见句式的应用，比如：It is recently reported that……，The water is……，we should……，we can……，Let’s……等句式的应用。写作中注意运用代词，注意多种句式交替运用。写作中注意叙述顺序，符合逻辑关系。

点睛：本文结构紧凑，语言简练。开头介绍了现在的环境问题，接下来介绍我们应采取的措施，最后倡导我们现在就采取行动来挽救环境。此处dry up, turn off，such as，turn on，ask sb to do sth,let sb do sth等这些词组的运用也让文章增色不少。
