Tropical rain forests are found in the Amazon region of South America, Central America, Africa, South, and Southeast Asia. Rain forests are very important to the world’s climate. The Amazon rain forests alone receive about 30 to 40 percent of the total rainfall on the earth and produce about the same percentage of the world’s oxygen. Some scientists believe that the decrease of rain forests will affect the climate on the earth, making it uncomfortable or even dangerous for life. Saving our rainforests is an international problem. One country or even a few countries cannot solve the problem alone. The nations of the world must work together to find a solution before it is too late.

These days, many people begin to catch fish in the lake behind your house. What makes you worried most is they use electricity to catch fish. A lot of small fish died and floated on the water surface. Other animals such as frogs, toads, and even birds also died from electric shock waves. You think that local authorities should prohibit and fine heavily anyone catching fish in this way.
Now, write a letter to the head of the local authorities to complain about the way of catching fish in the lake behind your house. Following SCRAP format. Begin with:

We live in a dynamic world, and habitats are always undergoing changes at all sorts of levels. However, natural changes usually occur at a slow pace so that impacts on individual species tend to be slight - at least in the short term
When the pace of change is greatly accelerated, there may be no time for individual species to react to new circumstances, and the effects can be disastrous. Briefly, this is the reason that rapid habitat loss is regarded as the chief cause of species endangerment, and there is no force more powerful in this regard than human beings. To some extent, every part of the earth has been affected by human activities, especially during this past century. This applies on virtually every scale, from the loss of microbes in soils that once supported tropical forests, to the extinction of fish and other aquatic species in polluted freshwater habitats, to changes in global climate caused by the release of greenhouse gases. From the perspective of an individual human lifetime, such changes may be hard to detect and their effects on individual species may be hard to predict. But the lesson is clear enough. For example, although many countries have had plans to grow many tropical forests, they are highly susceptible to destruction because the soils in which they grow are poor in available nutrients. Centuries may be required to bring back a forest that was cut down or burnt out in the space of a few years. Many of the world's severely threatened animals and plants live in such forests, and it is certain that huge numbers of them will disappear if present rates of forest loss continue. Habitats in the world are unchangeable and fixedly exist.
