疯狂英语易背作文 63.A Geography Group

Last term I took part in a geography research study group. Our topic was environment pollution and protection¹. We took a variety of pictures, showing the present pollution conditions of our city. To our surprise, there are still a lot of people doing silly things to our surroundings². Some people throw rubbish anywhere they like. Some cars give off harmful gases. What surprises us most is that waste water is poured into the rivers by some factories. Worse still, people sometimes have to make their way through dusty³ winds as a result of the pollution. Through our research we come to realize that everybody must pay much attention to the environment. Some measures should be taken to protect it. And to be exact, it is high time to take measures to protect it.
