Very often you can find yourself on top of a hill in the city, looking down one of these straight roads as it rises and falls on its journey through the town.

Regardless of this warning, it is obvious that every character in this picture is doing harm to this old tree. One young girl leans against the tree, trampling on the tree’s roots. A man holds his camera and steps on the tree’s trunk, trying to take photos of the young girl. Beside her there are several Chinese characters: “XX has visited here.” What’s more, one person is taking photos of a naughty child, who grabs one branch of the tree and dangles for fun. These uncivilized behaviors have already aroused people’s discussion. It is our duty to comply with the local rules and regulations and protect the local environment while traveling.小组互动（Pair Work）A: Summer holiday is coming. It’s the best time for sightseeing.
