Text
I live in a very old town which is surrounded by beautiful woods.(定语从句)
It’s a famous beauty spot.
On Sundays, hundreds of people come from the city to see our town and to walk through the woods. (每逢星期日) (走过)
Visitors have been asked to keep the woods clean and tidy.(被动语态)
Litter baskets have been placed under the trees, but people still throw their rubbish everywhere.
Last Wednesday, I went for a walk in the woods.(去散步)
What I saw made me very sad.(主语从句)
I counted seven old cars and three old refrigerators.
The litter baskets were empty and the ground was covered with pieces of paper, cigarette ends, old tyres, empty bottles and rusty tins.
Among the rubbish, I found a sign which said, ‘Anyone who leaves litter in these woods will be prosecuted!’
