improving beijing's environment for the olympics

ladies and gentlemen: good morning! today, the title of my speech is improving beijing's environment for the olympics. have you ever seen animals cry? do you know what makes them cry? it's the polluted world, a dirty world, caused by our irresponsible behaviors, that makes those lovely animals cry. many of us are smart enough to know how terrible it is to have a world without animals and plants. but some people still persist in making the same errors and harming the environment.
what's worse is that people are eating wild animals. those people don't know, and more importantly, they don't want to know. this kind of behavior has caused some specific problems. for example, medical experts have suggested that eating wild animals helped spread the terrible disease sars. now, our world is no longer clean and beautiful. why? because air, water, and noise pollution has become more and more serious. noise pollution makes us talk more loudly and become angry more easily. water pollution makes our rivers and lakes very dirty. air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. both air pollution and water
pollution are not only dangerous to our health, but also dangerous to animals and plants. we're destroying our only world. a large number of trees have been cut down, so a lot of lands have been turned into deserts. pollution can be seen everywhere! unquestionably it is essential that we clean up our environment. sadly, we've not always appreciated the importance of protecting the environment. on the streets, you can see cars producing smog. in the bathrooms, you can see students leaving the water tap on after using them. not only the young people, but also the elderly ones throw
things everywhere without thinking it's wrong, even in a beautiful park. these things are taking place every day, even in modern cities like beijing. we can't do that any more. we must learn how to protect the environment. i
