The change I want to talk about today is to plant more trees to improve the environment in the local area. On the one hand, the government should increase the budget on the environmental protection（增加在环境保护方面的预算）, in which case more workers can be employed to plant more trees on both sides of the road; on the other hand, the teacher should teach our younger generation that it is every citizen’s obligation（每一位公民的义务）to protect the environment. As far as I am concerned, this change will help to solve many problems. Firstly, the air will be purified(空气将会被净化). Trees are beneficial to the environment, since they absorb the carbon dioxide（吸收二氧化碳） and give off the oxygen（释放氧气）. In today’s society, the pollution is becoming even more serious, so it is the government’s top priority（当务之急） to encourage more people to plant trees in order to purify the air as well as to protect our common home. Secondly, the change will preserve the soil and the water（保持水土） in my hometown. My hometown is located in the north-western part of China, which has serious desertification problem（严重的荒漠化问题）. In this case, planting more trees can improve the environment of the city as well as prevent the soil erosion（预防水土流失）. As for my feelings about the change, firstly, I have to say, this change will definitely improve the air quality as well as strengthen citizens’ sense of environmental protection（增强市民的环保意识）. Secondly, it will set a good example to the rest of the country, and even to the rest of the world. I think there will be an increasingly number of people to join in the team of alleviating the pollution（缓解污染问题） as well as protecting the earth. Based on the reasons mentioned above, I think this improvement is really beneficial to the local area.

本题要求说明一项可以改变当地的一项举措，建议这个话题可以和环境保护联系在一起，所以就可以说植树这个可以改善环境的措施。第二个问题是关于这样一个举措可以如何付诸于实施，那么可以分成两点。第一：增加政府在环保方面的预算（the government should increase the budget on the environmental protection），后面加上一个in which case引导的定语从句来说明这样的话政府就可以雇佣更多的人（more workers can be employed）在道路两边种树。第二点，老师可以抓紧对年轻一代的教育。然后紧接着就阐述这样一个改变可以解决什么样的问题，同样可以分为两点来说。首先，这样可以净化空气（the air be purified）。后面紧接着可以具体化，因为树是可以吸收二氧化碳释放氧气的（absorb the carbon dioxide and give off the oxygen）。同时联系当今社会污染严重的现实，表明种树可以净化空气从而保护我们共同的家园。第二点，说明种树可以保持水土（preserve the soil and the water）。后面紧接着开始具体化，说明我所在的城市有严重的荒漠化问题（serious desertification problem），种树可以预防水土流失（prevent the soil erosion）。最后问到我对这个举措的感想，可以先做一个总结，表明这个举措可以改善环境，净化空气，strengthen citizen’s sense of environmental protection（增强市民的环保意识）。第二，可以稍微做一点升华，说这可以给本国的其他地方甚至是世界做一个表率，让更多的人加入缓解污染问题（alleviating the pollution）的团队。
