六、One possible version: Dear Editor,
I’m a middle school student. I hear that a power station will be built near Mt. Yunxia, a place of interest. We know the power station will provide us with plenty of power and as a result, the local economy will develop rapidly, but many citizens and I are against the plan. To build the power station, many people will have to move away and a great number of trees will have to be cut
down. What’s worse, once the scenery of Mt. Yunxia is destroyed, it can never be restored. Therefore, this plan is not good for protecting the environment. We suggest the city government should think over this plan.
Yours faithfully,
Li Ping
