        Forests are large pieces of land covered with big trees. They are found all over the world,especially in places where there is enough sunshine and much rainfall. Many kinds of materials come from forests. To build a house,we need wood for doors and windows. Beautiful chairs and tables are also made of wood.

        Teak (柚木) wood is very useful for shipbuilding. It is used for all parts of a ship where wood and metal come in contact (接觸) ，for it has a kind of oil to keep metal away form rust (鐵銹) . It can also stop the attack of white ants and other insects,so this teak wood is also an important railway building material.

        Forests are no less important than useful. They are the home of wild animals. Without them,those animals would run among the places where we live and work. There would be no peace for man.

        Forests are helpful to the weather,too. When it is very hot,they can be a good place for people to stay away from the sun. In winter,they can keep us form the cold. Forests can also stop the land form being washed away by heavy rain for the trees hold the soil tighter. So it would be foolish to cut down trees freely.

                              A 

      It s important to learn about protecting our environment. Here is a 5R rule for us：

      Reduce 

      If you want to reduce waste,you should use things wisely (明智地) . A larger number of trees are being cut down to make paper. If everyone uses paper carelessly,soon we will not have any trees left.

Other things are also being wasted,and people don't know what to do with the waste in big cities. So it is necessary to use things wisely.

       Reuse 

       You should always think of reusing the usable things before throwing them away. For example,you can give your clothes you do not wear any more to the poor. In a family,you may pass on such clothes to younger brothers or sisters.

        Recycle 

        Bottles,cans and paper can easily be recycled. By recycling them we save lots of time and money. For example,Coke cans are sent to a factory,where they are smashed flat (壓平) and melted (g蟲化) and the metal things are made for new Coke cans.

         Recover 

         When you buy a box of apples,there may be a few rotten (腐爛的) apples,you have two choices: one is to throw the whole apples away,or you can cut off the rotten parts and keep the good parts. In the way,you are recovering the eatable parts of food.

         Repair 

         If one of the legs of your table is broken,you can repair it. If you want to change for better ones,it is better for you to sell the old things or give them to other people who can use them after doing some repair.
