【参考范文】
The past ten years has witnessed that some
creatures under the sea have died out, which has been
greatly concerned by the whole world. On one hand,
people should be aware of the importance of protecting
the ocean. As a matter of fact, to protect the ocean is
to protect human beings. On the other hand, it is
urgent that the government should take immediate measures to keep the balance of
nature. I’m sure that only by raising the awareness of protecting the environment and
making great efforts can we solve the problem.
