Question

【题目】Dear Mr. Smith,

I am Lisa, Dean studying in a high school and I’ve noticed that forests are disappearing.

You know, forests are disappearing around the world each year because of many different reasons including farming, tourism, pollution, etc. If we stop doing these things, there will be a good future for people of tomorrow.

Now I’m writing to ask you to help stop forests from disappearing. You can help by getting shops to stop selling paper made from trees and by persuading people not to use tree-free paper (paper not made from trees). This will help forests so much. There are many, many things we can do to help forests. If you would like to know more, please visit http.//www. Rainforestweb. Org/.By changing the little things, we can make a big difference.

If you would like to contact（联系）me, please see the above address or e-mail me at SunnyLisa@hotmail.com.Thank you for taking your time in reading this letter.

Yours sincerely,

Lisa, Dean
