During the 15 days from New Year’s Eve to Lantern Festival(元宵节), Beijing was affected （受影响）by haze（雾霾） .Do you know what the haze is ? Today I will introduce it to you .
Haze is air pollution(空气污染) in which is mixed up with dust, smoke and other dry particles (和灰尘,烟雾和其他干燥粒),and it covers(掩盖) our blue sky ,so we can’t see sunny days. It often happens in winter and spring.
The haze brings much trouble (麻烦)to people’s lives. On the road many traffic accidents （事故）happened because people can not see clearly. The haze is harmful to our health. People also have to go to see the doctor because of the poisonous（有毒的） air caused by the haze.
As students, we must tell our friends and family members to go to work or school with the public traffic, such as the bus and the underground and BRT .Also we should plant more trees and develop green and energy to reduce (减少)the haze. According to me, I will go to school by bike or on foot, and I won’t throw the waste (垃圾)anywhere . It may take about 20 years to solve the problems caused by the haze .I believe the environment will get better and better and haze weather will vanish completely(彻底消失)with the help of new technology.

The trees have been on the earth for millions of years. Disease(疾病) is destroying trees. For example, in the 1970s, many trees in Europe were killed by disease.
This new danger attacks all the forests and woods of Europe from northern Sweden to southern Italy. First the branches turn yellow and brown. Then the trees’ leaves fall. The roots and the trunk shrink(萎缩). Finally the trees die. In the Black Forest in southern Germany, 75％of the trees have been destroyed or killed．
Nobody knows exactly, but it is probably air pollution or acid rain(酸雨). Factories, power stations and cars give off tons of smoke with acid into the air. Sunlight turns these into something harmful which fall with rain or snow onto the trees.
What can be done about acid rain?
Acid rain doesn’t always fall on the countries which produce the pollution. The wind carries it from one country to another. Badly, the governments don’ t want to spend money on it if it won’ t harm the trees in their own countries.The rainforests of Asia and South America are being cut down for firewood and building materials. Something must be done. If the trees die, we will, too.
