Save the Sea ——Letter of Suggestion
Dear Sir or Madam, I’m a student in senior high school. While taking a whalewatching trip to the sea, I found that the water has been heavily polluted, so I’m writing to offer some advice on stopping pollution. First of all, we need to tell people the bad effects that water pollution will cause. Then, limit the number of tourists coming to the seaside. The fewer the tourists are, the less polluted the water will be. Besides, raise people’s awareness of protecting the sea by giving lectures or organizing activities in public places or at school.
