SuggestionDear

Sir

or

Madam,I’m

a

student

in

senior

high

school.

While

taking

a

whale-watching

trip

to

the

sea,

I

found

that

the

water

has

beenheavily

polluted,

so

I’m

writing

to

offer

some

adviceonstopping

pollution.First

of

all,

we

need

to

tell

people

the

bad

effects

that

waterpollution

will

cause.Then,

limit

the

number

of

tourists

coming

to

the

seaside.

Thefewer

the

tourists

are,

the

less

polluted

the

water

will

be.Besides,

raise

people’s

awareness

of

protecting

the

sea

bygiving

lectures

or

organizing

activities

in

public

places

oratschool.I

do

hope

you

can

do

something

about

it.

Your

earlyconsideration

will

be

highly

appreciated.?14HomeworkDiscuss
