It’s a bad habit to spit on the ground. It carries and spreads diseases, pollutes our environment and does harm to our health. It is very important to protect the environment. We should educate the public to change their bad habits, and punish those who spit in public places. If all the people care about （take care of / protect） the environment, our city will become more beautiful.
Yours sincerely,
Wang Nan
