我们写这封信是寻求帮助。我们的家乡过去曾经是一个美丽的地方，茂密的树林和绿茵茵的草地到处可见。但是近来，人们为了盖楼房和种庄稼，砍伐的树越来越多。随着时间的推移，整改树林几乎被毁，青山变成了荒山，结果是沙尘暴时时袭击我们，尤其是在春天。沙尘暴给我们带来了很多困难。

我们真切希望人们能够意识到不注意保护环境的可怕结果。我们不应该伐树，而应该爱护森林，多植树，以便改变我们的生活环境。

We are writing to you for your help. Our hometown used to be a beautiful place in the past. Thick trees and green grass could be seen everywhere. But recently, people have cut down more and more trees in order to build houses and grow more crops. As time has gone on, the whole forest has almost been destroyed and the green hills have changed into the wasteland. As a result, sandstorms strike us now and then, especially in spring. We suffer a lot from sandstorms.

We do hope that all people realize the terrible results if we don’t pay enough attention to our environment. Instead of cutting trees down, we should take good care of the forests and plant more trees so as to improve our living conditions.

Environmental problems are becoming more and more serious these years.

最近几年，环境问题越来越严重了。

We hope an appeal to the whole society would be made in the newspaper.

希望报社能够为此向全社会发出呼吁。
