【推荐1】This book is for children. It is about the seas. It tells us about different kinds of water pollution and the things we can do to keep the seas clean. It also tells us about the different ways we can save water. In this book, Simon Walker said, “Three-fourths of the Earth is water. For thousands of years, the seas have helped us by giving us food and water, but we are feeding them with dirty water from factories and rubbish from our homes. Now, the seas are crying because they are very sick. Please help to save them!’’

You can see many wonderful photos of the seas in this book. There are also beautiful photos of sea animals like whales and seahorses. You can also see photos of the pink dolphins.

I think it is a very interesting and useful book.

Hi, I am Cindy. I am in No.6 Middle School. This is my classroom. 40 sets of desks and chairs are in the classroom. The desks and the chairs are blue. I like the color. The teacher’s desk is white. A tape player, a notebook, a pen and a ruler are on it. On the wall are four pictures of our school. A bookcase is in the classroom, too. Many books are in it. We can read those books after class. My favorite books are about computers.

My classroom is tidy. I like it.
