Dear Mr. Heppell,
I am Sabrina Akhtar studying in a high school and I’ve noticed that forests are disappearing.
You know, forests are disappearing around the world each year because of many different reasons including farming, tourism, pollution, etc. If we stop doing these things, there will be a good future for people of tomorrow.
Now I’m writing to ask you to help stop forests from disappearing. You can help by getting shops to stop selling paper made from trees and by persuading people not to use tree-free paper (paper not made from trees). This will help forests so much. There are many, many things we can do to help forests. If you would like to know more, please visit http://www. Rainforestweb. Org/.
By changing the little things, we can make a big difference.

One morning, a blind boy sat beside a building with a hat by his feet．He held a sign which said, “I am blind．Please help me．”
There were only a few coins in the hat．A man was walking by．He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat．He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it．He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could the new words．
Soon the hat began to fill up．A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy．That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were．The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”
