I have three questions for you: Do you often see a blue sky ①our city? Is the air in our city fresh? ②the water in our river clean? The answers to these questions are ③“No”!
My grandfather often tells many interesting stories about his childhood. At that time, the sky was blue, the air was fresh and the water was clean. When my grandfather and his friends ④in the forest, they ⑤hear birds sing. When they swam in the river, they could see many fish. It was ⑥happy time.

Dear friend
Trees are our friends. They work hard for us. They cool our cities and clean the air. They ①away dust and change carbon dioxide into oxygen for us to ②. Trees reduce sound pollution in large cities and make them more beautiful. Without trees, soil ③be washes away and there would be no food ④us to eat.

They also supply materials for house, furniture and paper ⑥. Some trees even provide important things ⑦medicine. Without trees, we would die.
In the last 200 years, more than half of all trees on Earth have ⑧destroyed. We need more trees!
Trees for Earth are making a difference. To help protect our environment, we plant trees and take care of them. We need more people to ⑨us in this project. We want to plant 100 million trees in the next 10 years. If you want to find out more about us, please send us an .
