Nowadays we are required to do research work apart from the lessons we learn in school．We are very interested in this kind of activity．We have a variety of subjects to choose from，such as local customs，changes of people's living conditions，and protection of the environment．

    Last term our group made a study of the pollution in a river in my hometown．The river used to be clean．but now it is dirty and t}lo water gives off a terrible smell．Our research shows that the river is mainly polluted by the waste water from the factories．Waste water from people’s daily life and agricultural chemicals also lead to the pollution of the river．To deal with the problem．we call

for people to be aware of how serious the situation is and do something about it． 

    Through our research，not only did we gain practical experience。but also we developed
