尊敬的先生／女士：
我给您写信是想陈述我对水的污染问题的看法．普遍认为，水的污染是当今严重的公害．世界各国的河流正在受到垃圾及有害化学物质的污染．船舶加剧了污染，因为它们依靠河流排放废物．油和其它化学物质会杀死鱼类并使水不能饮用．总之，污染了的水对人人都是个大问题．正如你所知道的，人们靠水生活．他们应该参与找到解决污染问题的方法．我认为，需要尽快采取某些应对措施．首先，各国政府理应制订处理污染问题的规章制度．此外，在全面处理和净化废液以前，必须禁止城乡工厂把废液排入河流．我觉得，如果这些工厂违反有关的法规或法律，则应加重罚款．当然还会有一些其它的治理方法值得采取．至于未来的前景，我相信，在这一方面 会取得良好的成果．过去一度被工业废料污染的河流将会得到清理，几年以前鱼类不能长年的河流又会重见鱼群．总之，似乎很明显，只要人人各尽其责并努力去寻找控制污染的方法，明天将会变得更美好、更光明。
如果需要对这个问题做进一步评论， 请不吝赐函。谢谢！
顺致
敬意

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing to you to state my view on the water pollution problem. It is generally accepted that water pollution is a serious public hazard today. Rivers all over the world are becoming polluted with garbage and dangerous chemicals. Ships contribute to the problem because they rely on rivers for disposing of wastes. Oil and other chemicals can kill fish and make water unsafe for drinking. Because they rely on rivers for disposing of wastes. Oil and other chemicals can kill fish and make water unsafe for drinking. In a word, polluted water is a big problem to everyone.
As you know, people depend on water to live on. They should be involved in finding a solution to this problem. I think, certain counter measures need to be taken as soon as possible. To begin with, the governments of all countries are supposed to formulate rules and regulations to deal with the pollution problem. In addition, factories in towns and cities must be prohibited from draining waste liquids into rivers before they are totally treated and purified. I feel if they violate relevant rules or laws, they should be fined heavily. Certainly, there are some other cures which are worth adopting.
As far as future prospect is concerned, I am sure that good results will be achieved in this respect. Rivers which used to be contaminated by industrial wastes will be cleaned and fish which could not live there a few years ago will be again. To conclude, it seems obvious that tomorrow will be better and brighter only if everyone does his part and tries hard to seek solutions for its control.
If any further comment on the issue is required, please don’t hesitate to write to me.
Thanks.
Yours sincerely
