尊敬的领导，
Dear Leader,
我自出生以来一直住在这个镇上，
I have lived in this town ever since I was born.
我是一名中学生，我非常喜欢这里。
I’m a middle school student and I love this town very much.
我想咱们镇上有几处美丽的风景区，
I think there are a few small places of interest in our town.
可是有的景区不但不吸引人，
However, some are not only awful,
而且遍地垃圾堆成山，
but also rubbish is piled up here and there,
苍蝇老鼠随处见。
even flies and mice are seen anywhere.
这不仅让本镇难看而且会让人生病。
This not only makes our town ugly but also people sick.
我想了想主要问题是清洁工人数太少，报酬太低。
I believe the main problem is that the number of cleaners is fewer, poorer pay.
我们应该想办法清理掉到处的垃圾
。
We should try to clean up rubbish everywhere.
我建议再雇佣一些清洁工，提高他们的待遇，清洁区承包。
I suggest more cleaners are wanted, higher pay, his or her own place is cleaned every day.
只有这样才能在清洁岗位上发挥每个人的重要作用。
Only then can everyone play an important role in cleaning up.
我相信那些景区面貌立刻变得美丽起来，
I believe those places are becoming more and more beautiful soon.
吸引更多游客，
More and more tourists are coming to our town some day.
提高本镇收入。
That will make the town’s income grow faster.
让我们齐心协力美化我们的环境吧！
Let’s pull together to make our environment more beautiful!
您说我的想法行不？
Do you agree with me?
我正期盼您的书面答复呢！
Now I’m looking forward to your reply in writing!
您的忠实朋友，
Yours faithfully,
万事通小姐
