Dear classmates,

However, our mother river faces serious problems. Soil
loss washes away precious earth, and too much fishing hurts
its fish families.
We must act now to protect her! We should stop fishing
in protected areas and make laws to keep her clean. Saving
water at home and planting trees near her banks also help
greatly. Remember, every small action is helpful and
important. Let's join hands to care for the Yellow River-for

Dear classmates,
The Yellow River is our mother river. It flows about
5,464 kilometres through China, making it the second
longest river in our country. For thousands of years, it has
provided water, food, and culture to millions of people.
However, our mother river now faces serious problems.
Soil loss caused by cutting trees and over-farming has made
the water muddy and polluted. This harms both wildlife and
humans. To solve these issues, the government has taken
action: fishing has been stopped in some areas to protect
fish, and new laws have been made to punish those who
damage the river.
Therefore, it's our duty to join the protection. First, we
can take part in educational campaigns to learn and spread
knowledge about the river's importance. Remember, every
effort counts! Let's join hands to protect this priceless
treasure for future generations.
