ReadingI love Switzerland. It is a country with high mountains and clean blue lakes.It is beautiful, and we should try to keep it that way.
我喜欢瑞士。这是一个有着高山和干净湛蓝的湖水的国家。它很美丽，我们应该尽力让它一直保持那样。In Switzerland, things like glass, plastic and paper are separated into different groups and then recycled.Even old clothes and shoes can be recycled. I learnt about an organization for recycling clothes.It collects old clothes from all over the country. Some of the clothes are sold in charity shops, some are given to the poor, and others are sent to factories for recycling.My family and I often send our old jeans and T-shirts to this organization.
在瑞士，玻璃、塑料和纸张被分成不同组并被回收。甚至旧衣服和鞋子也被回收。我了解到有一个组织回收衣服。它从全国各地收集旧衣服，一些衣服放在慈善店出售，一些分给穷人，还有一些则被运去工厂循环再生。我的家人和我常常将我们的旧牛仔裤和T恤送去这个组织。Our government has many laws to protect the environment.For example, we are not allowed to cut down trees.Otherwise, we will be punished. If we drop litter in a public place, we will be fined by the police. There arealso laws to limit air and water pollution.
我们的政府有很多保护环境的法律。例如，我们不允许砍伐树木。否则，我们会受到处罚。如果我们在公共场合乱扔垃圾，我们会被警察罚款。同样还有法律来限制空气和水污染。
大自然是我们最大的财富。我们依靠其丰富的资源生存，所以要理智地保护它，这一点很重要。幸运的是，我们开始利用太阳能、风能和水能。这些新型能源不仅成本低廉，而且用之不尽。更重要的是，它们不产生污染。Today is 5 June, World Environment Day. What have you done for the environment? Remember that everyone cando something to make a difference!
