参考答案：

Dear Editor,

In the past my hometown used to be a beautiful place.Thick trees and GREen grass could be seen everywhere.In order to build houses and grow more crops,people cut down more and more trees.

As time went on,the whole forest was almost destroyed gradually and the GREen hills have changed into wasteland.As a result,sandstorms struke us now and then,from which we suffer a lot.So,I do hope all the people should realize the terrible result of not caring about our environment.What's more,we should take care of the forests and plant more trees instead of cutting them down so as to improve our living conditions.

Yours,
