【解析】

This August, I finally got my wish to go to the grasslands. In my imagination, the land would be boundless, making people feel open-minded; the cloudless blue sky would make everyone feel comfortable and free.

As we approached the grassland, I got very excited. However, my excitement did not last long. There were many places where we could see a little sand. And some places had no grass at all. My mood had changed, and I felt a little sad. This was not what I had imagined.

What caused this? First, over-development. Along our way, man-made attractions are everywhere. There are many motorcycles for tourists to ride, and the grass cannot survive under such wheels. Second, overgrazing. Too many cows, sheep, and horses on the grasslands have damaged the plants there, especially sheep because they often eat the roots of the plants. If the roots are eaten, the grass cannot grow again. The grass itself is actually the best protection against desertification. If this barrier is gone, it is easy for a grassland to become a desert.

I want to do something about this. Although I cannot solve the problem by myself, I can at least make some suggestions. I think protecting our home is a way to protect our future…
