六 Make Suzhou More Beautiful
With the development of Suzhou, more and more families have cars. As a result, the air pollution becomes more serious and people meet with traffic jams more often This not only has a bad effect on our daily life but also does harm to our health It's a worrying problem. Therefore, action should be taken to deal with this problem. I think there are many things we can do to help. We can take a bus, ride a bike or go somewhere on foot. What's more trees and grass should be protected to absorb the poisonous gases. If we act before it's too late, I believe in the future we will have more clear days and clean rivers. Let's work together!
