Dear Peter,
I'm glad what you are caring about the development of my hometown. Great changes have been taken place since the 19th National Congress of Communist Party of China. The targeted poverty reduction has reached it's ideal aims. Many poor family have got effective help from the local government and have improved their life greatly. Old houses are replaced by new tall buildings which are surrounding with green trees and colourful flowers. The rivers once heavy polluted are getting clearer and clearer. Much to our delighted, lots of fishes return to the rivers. The blue sky paints itself with colors and the birds joyfully dances with the music of gentle winds.
Please come to visiting my hometown in the near future.
Yours,
Li Hua

Social media, magazines and shop windows bombard people daily with things to buy, and British consumers are buying more clothes and shoes than ever before. In Britain, the average person spends more than £1,000 on new clothes a year, which is around four percent of their income.1.But it hides two far more worrying trends for society and for the environment. First, a lot of that consumer spending is via credit cards. British people currently owe approximately £670 per adult to credit card companies. That's 66 percent of the average wardrobe budget. Also, not only are people spending money they don't have, they're using it to buy things they don't need.2..
People might not realize they are part of the disposable clothing problem because they donate their unwanted clothes to charities.3.Huge quantities end up being thrown away, and a lot of clothes that charities can't sell are sent abroad, causing even more economic and environmental problems.
4.The idea originated in Canada in the early 1990s and then moved to the US, where it became a rejection of the overspending and overconsumption of Black Friday and Cyber Monday during Thanksgiving weekend.5.Throughout the year, Buy Nothing groups organize the exchange and repair of items they already own. They send a clear message to companies that people are no longer willing to accept the environmental and human cost of overconsumption.
A.Fast fashion' goes out of fashion as quickly as it came in and is often too poor quality to recycle;
B.Britain throws away 300,000 tons of clothing a year, most of which goes into landfill sites.
C.The British people are deeply shocked by the unexpected statistics.
D.On Buy Nothing Day people organize various types of protests and cut up their credit cards.
E.However, a 'buy nothing' trend is springing up in opposition to consumerism.
F.That might not sound like much.
G.But charity shops can't sell all those unwanted clothes.
