我wǒ家jiā附近fùjìn有yǒu一个yí ge公园gōngyuán，公园gōngyuán里lǐ有yǒu很多hěn duō老lǎo树shù。

Near my home there's a park, and the park has many old trees.

可是kěshì最近zuìjìn两年liǎng nián，公园gōngyuán里lǐ的de树shù越来越yuèláiyuè少shǎo了le。

But in the last two years, the park has had fewer and fewer trees.

环境huánjìng变得biàn de不太bú tài好hǎo，鸟niǎo也yě比bǐ以前yǐqián少shǎo了le。

The environment has become not so good; there are also fewer birds than before.

为了wèile让ràng环境huánjìng变得biàn de更gèng好hǎo，学校xuéxiào决定juédìng带dài大家dàjiā去qù公园gōngyuán种zhòng树shù。

In order to make the environment better, the school decided to take everyone to the park to plant trees.

星期六xīngqīliù早上zǎoshang，同学们tóngxuémen都dōu带dài着zhe小树xiǎoshù，高高兴兴地gāogāoxìngxìng de去qù公园gōngyuán。

Saturday morning, the classmates all brought young trees and happily went to the park.

到dào了le公园gōngyuán，大家dàjiā一起yìqǐ种zhòng了le很多hěn duō小树xiǎoshù。

When they arrived at the park, everyone planted many young trees together.

老师lǎoshī说shuō，树shù多duō了le，公园gōngyuán会huì越来越yuèláiyuè漂亮piàoliang，鸟niǎo也yě会huì越来越yuèláiyuè多duō。

The teacher said that with more trees, the park will become more and more beautiful, and there will be more and more birds too.

After planting the trees, everyone was tired, but looking at the young trees, they felt happy inside.
