I live in a very old town which is surrounded by beautiful woods. It is a famous beauty spot. On Sundays, hundreds of people come from the city to see our town and to walk through the woods. Visitors have been asked to keep the woods clean and tidy. Litter baskets have been placed under the trees, but people still throw their rubbish everywhere. Last Wednesday, I went for a walk in the woods. What I saw made me very sad. The litter baskets were empty, but the ground was covered with pieces of paper, cigarette ends, old tyres, empty bottles and rusty tins. Among the rubbish, I found a sign which said, 'Anyone who leaves litter in these woods will be prosecuted!' I looked round. The sign had been broken. I smiled. You see, the woods are the only clean place in our town — on the sign.

我住在一个被美丽树林环绕的古镇。 这是一个著名的风景点。 每逢周日,数百人从城里来参观我们的小镇,并在林中散步。 游客们被要求保持树林整洁。 垃圾筐被放置在树下,但人们仍然到处扔垃圾。 上周三,我在林中散步。 眼前的一切让我很难过。 垃圾筐是空的,但地上到处是纸片、烟头、旧轮胎、空瓶子和锈罐头。 在垃圾中,我发现了一个牌子,上面写着:「在林中乱扔垃圾者将被起诉!」 我环顾四周。 牌子已经坏了。 我笑了。 你看,树林是我们镇上唯一干净的地方——牌子上。
