Last month our class organized a hiking along the Chaobai River, which run through Hebei, Beijing and Tianjin. Much to my disappoint, I found the river was serious polluted. At that moment, I was determined to do what I could protect it. First, under my teacher’s help, I used the equipment from the school lab to test the qualities of the river water. But then, I used the information I had collected it to analyze the pollution of the water. Finally, I write a report on the pollution of the river to the local government. I also gave a speech in class which I suggested that we make small changes to protect our water resources.
