Lesson36 Protecting Our Beach
The other day I was taking a walk along the beach and I became very angry．I felt bad about the plastic bottles and wrappers that were tossed all overthe sand． Rusty¹， empty beer cans lay about and some broken glass bottlesmade me mad． I was worried to see unhealthy leftover² snacks being eaten bysea gulls³． I had gone to the beach to enjoy nature but instead I ended uppicking up garbage there． I wondered if I was the only one that felt so badwalking on the beach that day． I hoped that people would know that throwingtheir garbage all over the beach creates an ugly place that is alsodangerous to both humans and the wildlife.
Next time when we go to the beach we should be careful with our garbage．Remember to dispose of those plastic wrappers and aluminium⁴ cans and beerbottles properly． That way we can enjoy the beauty of the beach withoutworrying about cutting ourselves with pieces of glass or harming thewildlife there with unhealthy leftovers⁵． It will be a much nicer place forall of us to spend our free time．

保护我们的海滩
有一天，当我沿着海滩散步时，我感觉很糟糕。因为沙滩上到处都是丢弃的塑料瓶和包装纸。到处躺着的生锈的、空的啤酒罐、破碎的玻璃瓶子让我很难受。我担心地看到海鸥正在啃食被吃剩的不健康的小吃。我原打算到海滩来享受自然，但最终却在那儿捡拾垃圾。我很想知道我是不是那天唯一一个在海滩上散步感觉如此糟糕的人。我希望人们能看到那到处都是的垃圾会使我们的海滩丑陋无比，这样的海滩对人和野生动植物来说都是很危险的。
下次我们再去海滩的时候，我们要记住妥善收拾好自己的垃圾。记住将那些塑料包装纸、铝罐和啤酒瓶妥善处理掉。这样我们才能尽情享受美丽的海滩，而不用担心我们自己是否会被玻璃碎片划伤，也不用担心人类不健康的残存食物会危害海滩上的动物。海滩才会成为我们休闲时更好的去处。
