We live in the world every day. We eat food, drink water, wear clothes, watch TV, use computers and so on. We are producing waste every moment.
Generally speaking, there are four sorts of waste. They are material waste, organic waste, inorganic waste and poisonous & harmful waste. Now, we are going to talk about each sort of waste one by one.
Material waste: it means the waste of substance or things from which something else can be made. For example, people throw away the used metal products and buy a new one, so the old metal waste accumulates. At last, they become waste. For example, when people finish reading newspaper, the paper will become waste. When the glass is broken, it also becomes waste. Nobody wants to use a broken window or drink with a broken glass or wear a pair of broken glasses. Once it is broken, it becomes waste. The rate of using plastics is increasing day by day. People use plastic bags because they are convenient. When they get home, they throw the plastics way, paying no attention to the environment. The more convenience plastics brings to us, the more plastic waste is produced. This is called “white pollution” as most plastics are white. Some of our products we use every day are made of rubber, just like the tyres and the bottom part of our shoes. It’s true that rubber plays an important role in our life. However, it also brings us some trouble when it has been used for a long time and becomes old. The old tyres become waste because it can’t break down by nature. This is really a big problem.
We have only one earth. But now,the environment becomes worse and worse.
As you know,there's no enough clean water for people. So many of them lose their lives because of water. In a lot of countries, people have to cut trees for living. So there's nothing to keep water from running away. Also we have polluted the land, the river and the air. So we have to face more and more floods and droughts .
It's time that we must do something useful to protect our environment. We can plant trees and take good care of them. We can save the water and ask our parents to do so. We can't throw any litter onto the ground and we should collect them for recycling.
If we take good care of our earth today,it will be more beautiful tomorrow.
Water is the source of life
Earth looks like a big blue marble; from high above the Earth and from the moon, the planet gleams and shines. The blue water in the oceans and seas of the Earth makes a dramatic image.Water is the source of this beauty and the source of life on Earth. It is the reason people can live on this planet. Water is everywhere. Water is in rock deep under the ground, in natural holding areas.In a real sense, water keeps Earth alive. The last drop of water will be the world's human tears. We Chinese are one of the 12 water-poor countries, as people waste, water less and less. However, there are many waste of water, for example: some of the children bought water gun filled with water shooting water everywhere; there are some students hand-washing after washing bowls, or not turn off the faucet, waste a lot of water... .... Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, where the recent prolonged drought, making survival of the population there is facing a serious threat to address this problem, we in China 1.3 billion to develop awareness of water conservation. Therefore, I appeal to you here: "Take action at water saving
Stop earth mother from crying!
地球看上去就像一个巨大的蓝色玻璃球, 从高高的地球上空或从月球上望去，这颗行星熠熠生辉，闪闪发光。
地球上大洋大海里的蔚蓝色的水构成了一幅激动人心的图画。 水是地球上的美丽之源、生命之源。 水是人们能在这颗行星上生存的根本。 到处都有水。
水深藏于地底下的岩层里、在天然蓄水区里. 从真正的意思上说，是水维持着地球的生命。
世界的最后一滴水将是人类的眼泪。我们中国是12个贫水国之一，由于人们的浪费，水源越来越少了。
但是生活中还有许多浪费水的现象，比如;有些小朋友买来水枪到处射水，还有一些学生洗完碗或洗完手，都不关水龙头，浪费了许多水……最近云南贵州高原那里长时间持续干旱，使那里居民生存面临着严重威胁，针对这个问题，我们中国13亿要养成节约用水的意识。 因此，我现在向大家呼吁：‘‘珍惜每一滴水，让地球妈妈不再哭泣。

Environment - how can we help protect it?
Our planet is in trouble!Almost every day we seem to hear of yet another problem affecting the environment - and what a list of problems!- pollution,acid rain,global warming,the destruction of rainforests and other wild habitats,the decline and extinction of thousands of species of animals and plants.and so on.
Nowadays,most of us know that these threats exist and that humans have caused them.Many of us are very worried about the future of our planet and unless we can find a way of solving the problems we have made then the environment will suffer even more.
It all sounds so depressing - but we certainly mustn't despair!Every one of us,whatever age we are,can do something to help slow down and reverse some of the damage.We cannot leave the problem-solving entirely to the experts - we all have a responsibility for our environment.We must learn to live in a sustainable way i.e.learn to use our natural resources which include air,freshwater,forests,wildlife,farmland and seas without damaging them.As populations expand and lifestyles change,we must keep the World in good condition so that future generations will have the same natural resources that we have.
Here are just a few ideas to help you to do something to protect our environment.
.plant more trees;
.saving energy and water;
.minimise waste;
.use as much public transport as you can;
.protect wild animals.

环境-我们如何才能帮助保护它?
我们的星球陷入困境!几乎每天我们都会听到另一个影响环境的问题-以及一系列问题!污染，酸雨，全球变暖，热带雨林和其他野生动物栖息地的破坏，减少对动物和植物物种灭绝等数千。
如今，我们大多数人都知道，这些威胁存在，人类已经造成他们，我们很多人都非常担心我们的星球的未来，除非我们能够找到一种方法来解决我们所做的问题，那么环境将遭受更多。
这一切听起来如此沮丧-但我们一定不能绝望!我们每一个人，不论年龄的我们，可以做些什么来帮助减缓和扭转一些损害。我们不能把问题的解决完全的专家-我们都对我们的环境有责任。我们必须学会生活在一个可持续的方式，即使用我们的自然资源，其中包括空气、淡水、森林、野生动物、农田里毫无损伤。随着人口增加和生活方式的改变，我们必须保持在良好的状态下的世界让下一代有相同的自然资源，我们有。
这里有一些想法，帮助你做一些事情来保护我们的环境。
种植更多的树;
节约能源和水;
尽量减少浪费;
尽可能多地使用公共交通工具;
保护野生动物。
Stepping into the new century environment pollution has become more serious than ever since. There are different kinds of pollution. Such as water pollution air pollution and noise pollution and so on. It seems that we live on a planet which is full of pollution. where all these pollution comes from? To a large extend the environmental destruction is the heavy price that we pay for the rapid development of economy and the growing population. In order to have more fuel people cut down trees and dig more corals. But the growing needs for energy are hardly to meet. Countless private cars on the street the gas stations are short of gasoline even the government has raise the price so many times in order to control the needs of gasoline but it’s still not working. Overusing the natural resources has already affected the ecological balance. However the factories still release the toxic air into the sky and the polluted water into the rivers. People still lack of the conscious of protecting the environment. I think it’s time for all of us to do something.
进入新世界以来，环境污染比任何时候都要严峻。有各式各样的污染：水污染，空气污染，噪音污染等等。看起来我们活着一个四周都是污染源的星球。那么，这些污染是从何而来的呢?在很大程度上，环境被破坏就是我们为快速的经济增长和人口增加所付出的惨烈代价。为了得到更多的能源，人们砍伐树木，挖更多的煤矿，但是还是难以维持日益增长的需求。不计其数的私家车充斥着公路，加油站的汽油严重短缺，政府多次上调油价也未能阻止私家车对汽油的需求。自然资源的过度利用已经影响到了生态平衡。然而，工厂依旧向外排放有毒气体，把工业废水倒入河里。人们依旧缺乏保护环境的意识。我认为人们应该做些事情了。
The government should put forward some more strict laws to prevent the environment from being further polluted. And they should let people know more about the importance of environment protection. And we should find the balance between the economic growth and environmental protection. Plant more trees in the deserts and stop cutting down the forest. Forbid the factories to pour the waste water into the rivers directly. Encourage people to use public transportations to work. Both government and ordinary people should join hands together to make our home clean and fresh again. Only in this way our earth could be a better place to live in.
政府应该施行一些更为严格的法律来防止环境被进一步的破坏掉。他们应该让人们了解到保护环境的重要性。我们要在保持经济发展和环境保护中找到平衡点。在沙漠中植树造林，停止砍伐森林。禁止工厂往河流里直接排放废水。鼓励人们用交通工具上班。政府和普通民众都应该携手保护环境，让我们的家园变得干净整洁。只有这样，我们的地球才能更适合人类居住。
Hello:
everyone!Now I want to talk about a beatiful world!
When I was young,I always dreamed that I lived in a beautiful country. There were many flowers and trees around our city.We counld hear the birds singing and see the children dancing. The streets were clear and the the air was very fresh! How nice it was!But that only was a dream of mine!How I wish that it would be come true! So I think we should do something to protect our environment. Everyone should make a contribution to protect the environment.
Taking care of our environment is very important.Wherever you live,you can do something around your neighbourhood.
Have you ever thrown any litter onto the ground?Have you ever drawn pictures on public walls?Have you ever spat in a public place?Have you ever cut down trees?If your answers are "No",it means that you have already helped protect our environment.
It is our duty to keep our envionment clean and tidy. You might ask yourself,"Have I ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin?Have I ever collected waste paper or bottles for recycling?Have I ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my neighbourhood?"If your answers are"Yes",it means that you have already done something useful to improve the environment.
Now I want to say :Let's do our best to make our world more beautiful!
On a Saturday morning. I went to have breakfast. I felt there was a terrible smell and went over to have a look carefully. I found that there was a big pile of banana skins giving out the smell.Just then a young fellow holding a dustpan rubbish to walk towards here . He raised his hands, The big pile of rubbish was here. At once I went to him and said “Uncle , you can’t do like this . These things will rot very soon. It’s bad for our health and make the people fall ill.” However ,the man said “Everyone does so ,who falls ill,who will see the doctor.”
Looking at this , I remembered another act : There is a stream through our village. Over it there are two bridges .At the age of seven years old , I enjoyed the beautiful scenery under the bridge very much. It was the best place to swim in summer. But now the rubbish was getting more and more .Dish leaves,fruit skins,dead ducks and chickens….after rotting ,not only the mosquitos flew around but also the bad smell made everyone feel quite terrible.Though the stream was cleaned up several times, it’s still happening now. A lot of plastic bags always float on it .In summmer we have to go far away from the village to swim.
What causes this? Who is the devil?It’s the human ourselves. I have got to known from a book .The rubbish in the countryside mostly occupies the fields and damages the earth’s surface .It pollutes soil,wave ,atmosphere and damages our health. The adults often say “The body is capital.” But why are they able to make woollen cloth like this ? Does it affect everybody’s safe and sound life ?
Schoolmates, we are the host of society tomorrow . It’s our duty to improve and build the safe invironment.
Safety is in our hands .We must take park in more environmental protection activities, Plant more trees and flowers to make us live in a beautiful home with the blue sky ,blue water and green land forever.
Safety is in our hands . Please try your best to tell people around you to deal with the rubbish , and to make a contribution to building our safe hometome .
在一个星期六的早上。我去吃早餐。我感到有一股难闻的气味，走过去仔细看看。我发现香蕉皮发出的气味一大堆。这时，一个年轻人拿着簸箕垃圾走到这里。他举起双手，垃圾堆在这里。我立刻去对他说：“叔叔，你不能这样做。这些事情会很快腐烂。这对我们的健康是坏的，使人们生病。”不过，他说，“每个人都这么做，谁生病了，谁会去看医生。”
看这个，我记得还有一幕：有在我们村里流。它有两座桥。七岁的时候，我喜欢美丽的风景桥下很。它是在夏天游泳最好的地方。但现在垃圾越来越多。菜叶子，果实皮，烂后死亡鸭和鸡的…，不仅蚊子到处乱飞，而且每个人都难闻的气味很可怕。虽然流清洗几次，它仍然发生了。很多塑料袋总是浮在上面的。夏天我们要去远离乡村游。
这是什么原因造成的?谁是魔鬼?这是人类自己。我要知道从一本书。在农村，大多处在域和损害地球表面的垃圾。它污染土壤，大气波，并损害我们的健康。人们常说“身体是本钱。”但是他们为什么能这样呢?它影响到每个人的安全和健康的生活吗?
同学们，我们是社会的主人的明天。这是构建完善的安全环境是我们的责任。
安全掌握在我们手中。我们必须参加更多的环保活动，种植更多的树木和鲜花，让我们生活在蓝天一所漂亮的房子，蓝水，绿色的土地永远。
安全是我们的手。请尽力告诉你周围的人来处理垃圾，并使我们构建安全的家乡贡献。
It's my great honor to be invited here to give a speech on environment.As we all know the environment is very important to us. Because it has a great effect on us.So we should protect our environment .
In fact ,we can do many things to improve environment such as planting trees, collecting waste paper, write to the local newspapers to remind everybody to take care of it.The most important thing is,I think ,to let everybody know its importance and everybody should make a contribution to it .
As long as we try, we can make it. We strongly believe that we can do it !
Let’s do it together!
我很荣幸被邀请来做一场环境正如我们所知道的环境对我们来说很重要。因为它有一个很大的影响我们. 所以我们应该保护我们的环境。
事实上,我们可以做许多事来改善环境,例如植树,收集废纸、写信给当地报纸来提醒大家来照顾它最重要的是,我认为,让每个人都知道它的重要性,每个人都应该作出贡献。
只要我们努力,我们一定能成功。我们坚信我们能做到!
让我们一起做它!
Development and the Environment
It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.
Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if people’s lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?
There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. The key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem. Both governments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.
Chinahas a very long and brilliant history whose people are so friendly and hospitable. But I am wondering why some people pay such little attention to the environment and nature. In many places of the countryside rivers have become stinking sewers and brooks have disappeared. Heaps of garbage obstructs the scarce flow of dirty water. The grounds are littered with plastic bottles and bags. People are cutting down trees even though it is illegal. In some towns rubbish is hidden behind walls. Garbage cans are often of little use making cleaners must rush all day long and also by night to clean the rubbish.
中国有着悠久辉煌的历史，人民十分友善好客。但是我很好奇为什么有些人对自然和环境那么不在乎。在乡下的很多地方，河流已经变成臭哄哄的下水道，小溪也消失了。成堆的垃圾阻碍了污水难得的流动，地面上到处是丢弃的塑料瓶和塑料袋。尽管乱砍滥伐是违法的人们还是砍倒树木。在一些乡镇，垃圾就隐藏在墙后面。垃圾箱基本上没起到作用，使得清洁工人必须整天日日夜夜来回清理垃圾。
This lack of consideration for nature in general is extremely detrimental to children’s education toChina’s image to public health to tourism and to the future.Chinais the common treasure of all Chinese and we should live up to be a member of this big family a descendant of 5000-year-plus ancient civilized country. I think the environment must absolutely be strictly protected by all means. This protection should go at the same pace as the marvelous development of the nation.
这种缺乏考虑大自然的行为一般都会对孩子的教育，对中国的形象，对公众的健康，对游客以及对未来很不利。中国是所有中国人共有的宝贵财富，我们必须成为这个大家庭中合格的一员，成为5020xx年古老文明的国家的子孙。我认为必须想方设法严格的保护环境，这种保护应该与国家的快速发展的步伐相一致。
In this respectGermanyis a rare model and leaves me a very deep impression. After you have an exciting tour around in this country for a week or so it is unnecessary for you to polish your leather shoes. Personally first of all the strong awareness of people’s environmental protection; then the advanced technology applied in the field of preserving the nature; We can learn form others in building China into one of the most environmentally friendly places in the world.
在这一方面德国是少有的模范，给我留下了深刻的印象。当你环游这个国家大约一周之后，你没有必要去擦你的皮鞋。在我看来，首先是因为那里的人们保护环境的意识非常强;其次，在保护大自然这一领域应用的技术十分先进。我们可以向别人学习，把中国建设成世界上最环保最友好的国家。
Dear headmasters,teachers,classmates and friends:
I’m very proud that I have chosen to speak to you all today, I’m a bit nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many people ,so please forgive me if it shows.
As we all know,the environmemt around us is getting worse and worse .In some places we can’t see fish swimming in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink. So I think we must do something to protect the environment. .But what can we do? How to protect our environmemt? For example, we can go to school on foot or by bike . we can use shopping basskets not plastic bags .when we go shopping and we can use both sides of the paper when we write .In a word ,if everyone pays more attention to our environment ,there will be less pollution and our life will be better.
“There is only one earth”,I hope everyone will protect our environment well. Thanks!
