关于沙尘暴的英语范文
Sandstorm
沙尘暴(sandstorm)是指强风把地面大量沙尘物质吹起并卷入空中，使空气特别混浊、水平能见度小于一百米的严重风沙天气现象。
There are several sandstorms in China every year. When the sandstorm comes, the wind blows strongly with lots of sand, so that we can hardly see anything. Also, it brings our life and work many problems. For example, it is bad for our eyes and we should try to go outdoors less. Why are there many sandstorms every year? It’s because people cut down more and more trees and forests have gone. As a result, lots of good land has become deserts (沙漠).

【范文赏析】
In recent years, sandstorms have struck my hometown frequently.
My hometown used to be a beautiful place and thick forests and green grass could be seen in the area around my hometown. However, in the last few years, in order to build houses, developers cut down trees and dug up grass. What’s more, farmers’ overgrazing seriously damaged the grass too. As a result, these activities led to the desertification of my hometown. Sandstorms strike us now and then, from which people suffer a lot.
In order to stop the process of desertification, I think we should take good care of the forests and plant more trees instead of cutting them down. Meanwhile, the government should take measures to punish those who destroy the forests. If so, I think our living conditions will soon be improved.
