As we all know,forests benefit human beings a lot in many ways. However, it seems that many people haven't realize it. They have been cutting down trees in forests for wood and farmland. The areas of forests become smaller and smaller.Where the forests disappear, dust storms will occur constantly. The weather will get hotter than before and many animals will disappear,too. Human beings will be punished for their forest-destroying activities.
Therefore, it is high time that measures should be taken to protect forests. To begin with,people who destroy forests should be punished by the local government. Besides, planting more trees is a good idea. Bear in mind that joint efforts make a great difference!

Paragraph 1:
I was amazed by Abby's servant heart and her ability to organize. Not long ago, I came home from a future writers' conference, and she had totally reorganized my closet. Of course, I was pleased with my closet in order. To my surprise, she also bought a bookshelf and sorted my books. What surprised me most was that she bought me a tablet. I was touched that Abby had done such sweet acts of service without being asked. She's just that kind of girl—thoughtful and helpful.
Paragraph 2:
Allyson was a cheerleader for my whole life. “You can do it, Mom! ” “You're a great writer, Mom! ” It's like she instinctively knows when I need encouragement and gives it in time.She's also one of the hardest-working individuals I've ever known. Witnessing the many projects she had to do completely amazed me and motivated me to do more in my life. I feel fortunate that I have two daughters who teach me to be better in my life.

Paragraph 1:
In a flash, I went to high school. Shortly after I entered high school, my head teacher encouraged me to try out for the art school again. With the teacher's encouragement and considering I already had some acting skills, I auditioned once again. I thought from the beginning that I was sure to get in, but when performing I still shook with nervousness. I thought of the teacher's encouragement and what the judge said. Having taken a deep breath, I finally finished the audition.
Paragraph 2:
A few days later, to my surprise, I received an acceptance letter from the art school. During my first year, I auditioned for the school play.Because of the two previous experiences, I didn't feel nervous and succeeded in getting the leading role. Later, my cousin wrote to tell me that she wanted to try out for the art school but was afraid of auditions. I wrote back and told her what the judge had said to me. And she made it, too. Yes, nobody cares if you can't do well.

Dear Tony,
Hearing that our library is scheduled to buy some new books, I feel the urge to voice my opinion about what kind of books appeal to students most.
First come popular science books. As the name suggests, such books tend to explain science or scientific theories in a plain language,which may be guidance for us to learn science well.
Besides, we'd appreciate it if you could include some literary books on your list,especially the masterpieces of contemporary writers both at home and abroad. Having stood the test of time, such books can broaden our horizons and give us the joy of reading. Just as Bacon wrote, “Reading makes a full man.”
I'd be grateful if you could consider my appeal.Yours,Li Yue
