环境保护英语演讲稿：Only One Earth

 环境保护英语演讲稿：Only One Earth¹

We have only one earth. But now,the environment² becomes worse³ and worse.

As⁴ you know,there's no enough clean water for people. So many of them lose⁵ their lives because of water. In a lot of countries, people have to cut trees for living⁶. So there's nothing to keep water from running⁷ away. Also we have polluted⁸ the land⁹, the river and the air. So we have to face more and more floods¹⁰ and droughts¹¹ .

It's time that we must do something useful¹² to protect¹³ our environment. We can plant trees and take good care¹⁴ of them. We can save¹⁵ the water and ask our parents to do so. We can't throw any litter¹⁶ onto¹⁷ the ground¹⁸ and we should collect them for recycling¹⁹.

If we take good care of our earth today,it will be more beautiful tomorrow.
