Picture:

The airplane seems to be flying a quite a low altitude, so the noise level must be quite high foe the people living in these houses. This is considered noise pollution.

The last picture shows a rubbish dump hat pollutes the environment around it.

Sample writing:
Dear Sir/ Madam.
I have lived in this town since I was born and I love this town very much.
I think that there are beautiful areas in this town, but there are also areas that aren’t attractive, like the rubbish disposal areas at the bottom of our apartment blocks. There is rubbish coming out of the bins, and flies, cockroaches and rats running all over the rubbish. It is unpleasant to look at, smelly, and it makes the environment very unhealthy.
The problem is there because the rubbish collectors do not come often enough to collect the rubbish. The people living here may also be throwing away too much rubbish.
We could try to ask people to produce less rubbish. I suggest that rubbish collectors collect rubbish more often as well.
I believe that a better environment can be created in this town and we should all work together to achieve it.
Yours faithfully,
Wang xi
