Dear Alex,
My name is Angelina. I am from Russia. I live in Rostov. It is an old and beautiful city. It stands on the big river Don. I live in a block of flats. There are a lot of green trees and flowers in our street. There is a Botanical garden and other parks in Rostov. I like to go to the zoo. There are theatres, cathedrals, a lot of monuments in the city. It has got a lot of old interesting buildings to see. I love my native city very much. Write about your city.
Best wishes,
Angelina
<span>Once sitting in the garden with my grandmother I’ve noticed that we’re
surrounded by hundreds of shades of green – the grass, the leaves of the trees,
even the water in the pool – the shades of green were all around. They say that
seen from space our planet is blue, but I see it green. The green in plants and water produce the
oxygen we breathe. The green feeds almost 90 percent of the living creatures on
Earth. The green in the end turns into soil, and the cycle of green life starts
again. </span>
<span>We all depend on the green, and that
should have made us extremely caring about it. But in reality, is the maintenance
of the planet green – our priority? No, the priority of humanity today lies
mostly in consumption. But even if we knew how to produce goods from the air,
what would be the source of the air? The green.
People cut down forests, contaminate oceans and atmosphere and give away
the essence of human existence – water and the green – for the sake of
expanding production, overestimated consumption and money making. </span>
Pollution of the environment will
cost humanity a lot. We have already harmed the planet, and go on exhausting its
resources. We all maintain our homes, because they keep us warm and safe, but
if a house falls in ruins we stay on the surface, surrounded by green. What
shall we do when the planet falls in ruins?
<span>And when we disappear, the green planet will start different, but new
circle.</span>
<span>
</span>
<span>P.S. The green - существительное = зелень.</span>
