Formal writing #3- El Medio Ambiente

Muchos problemas con el ambiente. En mi comunidad, hay mucho polución en los lagos. También mucha contaminación en el aire. Los pescados de los ríos y lagos son morir porque no viven en agua limpia. También, es difícil para nosotros viven cuando el aire esta no bien. Por ejemplo, en otras comunidades ellos tienen un mismo problema. Tienen botas de basuras que produce contaminación en el mar. En la Florida, un mayor problema es energía. La gente conduce mucha energía para sus cosas y varias otras cosas. Es muy malo que la gente ser un mayor problema y la causa. Necesito que nosotros informemos las personas a la destruyendo de la capa de ozono. Es importante que digan las personas que hacer porque ese ayuda el mundo. Cuando la gente está informa a los peligros de polución, esperar que ellos pararan. Un ejemplo esta tienen el presidente pronunciar un discurso a los efectos negativos todos las personas tienen en el ambiente. Pienso que las gentes del mundo recibir el información y ayudan a salvar la planeta pronto.
