Mind Your Behavior in Public Places
[记叙所见所闻]Last Sunday，I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park.The park was full of freshness and beauty of spring，with the sun shining and birds singing.①When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught my eyes.② A young couple in a boat were eating，talking and laughing loudlyas if they were the only people in the world.What's worse，they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake，totally ignoring the noticeable sign“No Littering” nearby. What a shame!
[个人感想]Such behavior left me deep in thought.If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did，the lake will be severely polluted and soon turned into a huge dustbin.I think all of us should mind our behavior in public places.Only in this way can we live in more comfortable and beautiful surroundings.
