Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from our Sun. At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, gas, oil or nuclear power. This power could be provided by the Sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total population. Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the Sun’s energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.

Sincerely
Jonh
I am writing to you about the catching of fish of many people in the lake behind my house.
I would suggest the local authorities should prohibit and find heavily anyone using this way of catching fish.
I am very worried because they don’t use fishing rod or net but use electricity to catch fish. After the short time they leave the lake a lot of small fish die and float on the water surface. Others animals such as frogs, toads, and even birds have also died from electric shock waves.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing your protection of environment from the local authority.
Dear sir.

Are you looking for a cheap, clean, effective source of power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural resources? Look no further than solar energy from our Sun. At present, most of our electricity comes from the use of coal, gas, oil or nuclear power. This power could be provided by the Sun. One percent of the solar energy that reaches the Earth is enough to provide power for the total population. Many countries are already using solar energy. Solar panels are placed on the roof of a house and the Sun’s energy is used to heat water. The energy can be stored for a number of days, so on cloudy days you can use solar energy, too.

Sincerely
Jonh
I am writing to you about the catching of fish of many people in the lake behind my house.
I would suggest the local authorities should prohibit and find heavily anyone using this way of catching fish.
I am very worried because they don’t use fishing rod or net but use electricity to catch fish. After the short time they leave the lake a lot of small fish die and float on the water surface. Others animals such as frogs, toads, and even birds have also died from electric shock waves.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing your protection of environment from the local authority.
Dear sir.
