First f all, a beautiful envirnment ensures ur quality f life, s we may take an active part in planting trees. Nt nly can it make the air fresh, but it als makes ur city mre and mre beautiful. We can als ride bikes, r take the bus instead f driving t cut dwn the air pllutin.
Besides, gd manners make ur city better. We’d better nt talk r laugh ludly in public in case f disturbing thers. It’s als imprtant t fllw traffic rules everywhere in rder t keep ur city rganized.
Last but nt least, lve is the sul f civilizatin. In ur free time, we can als take n sme vluntary jbs, such as caring fr the elderly r lking after left-behind children. If everyne gives a little kindness, ur city will be full f lve.
Building a civilized city starts with little things. I believe that nly if everyne can d ur part, Nantng will achieve it.
