Impressive letter won the first prize of the class 8 UPU 40

Embodying an old Tung tree in the Amazon forest to send to Joseph Sepp Blatter, FIFA President, Huynh Minh Hieu, an eighth-grader, showed the idea of ​​protecting the forest nicely and impressing jury of this year's competition.

Huynh Minh Hieu is reading the letter that won his first prize 40 UPU.

It seems like the two fields of football and forest protection have nothing to do with each other, but under the way of Hieu's expression in the contest, it shows the close connection of these two areas. She affirmed: ' Protecting the forest is like a football final, one is winning, two are defeated '. People need to redraw the green of the country. I also concluded that when they finished kicking on the forest yard, they would switch to the sea, . That way they would destroy each resource in the world. Therefore, the coloring of the earth is still not late.

According to the Judge's assessment, Hieu expressed his idea of ​​protecting the forest in a new, quite unique way and hopes that this letter will continue to receive the upcoming International Prize.

Below is the whole letter of Huynh Minh Hieu's award, grade 8 Hoa Lu Secondary School, Q9 Ho Chi Minh City:

EXAMINATION FOR WRITING INTERNATIONAL LETTERS UP 40 - 2011

Amazon Forest, February 16, 2011

Dear Mr. Josehp Sepp Blatter!

I was also quite nervous when I wrote this letter to the FIFA President. I know that he is very busy with a mountain of work, but please take a moment to read my letter as he is reading a letter from the king sports fan.

I am Tung 500 year old tree living in the great Amazon family. I learned about him and the football because he listened to Ms Wind telling me that my country was living about to organize the World Cup. I'm even more excited but sad.

Do you understand why? Simply, from recent events, I realized: 'Protecting the forest is like a football final: One is winning, two are defeating!' . Didn't you laugh at what I said?

A few hundred years ago, when Western and North American scientists came to explore this rich South American land, in their hands, there were so many strange tools that I never knew: Compass, binoculars, hunting guns . and there are also thick books that are full of letters with flowers and leaves. Sometimes they pinned the leaves on the road to the book page. Interesting! They must be biologists. Listen to my mother's story, people used to be very old. Occasionally, they wandered around in the forest, wearing leaves, weapons and spears, rudimentary machete . They came here only to find dry wood, some small animals, little vegetables. They did nothing to harm us, even they worshiped the forest as a saint, the mother provided them with all the necessities. But, people grow really fast. They change the world vertically. Listening to Ms. Wind's recounts, the previous villages have now become busy cities. The wild lands that no one has known so far have grown up into massive industrial parks, emitting smoke.

The more I spoke, the more frustrated I was. Millions of years ago, people were still just a normal gibbon if there were no trees we built houses for them, provided oxygen for life, for everything on earth, tried to ask the name that I Does the person who gives his planet 'green planet' exist? We do not promote ourselves but our values ​​and benefits are completely true. Somewhere, the Amazon forest releases millions of billions of cubic meters of oxygen every year for life. As the largest forest in the world, every year we protect against soil erosion, maintain water resources, and prevent harms caused by floods and droughts. Currently, we are home to about 2.5 million insect species, tens of thousands of plant species and about 2 thousand species of animal birds. Only our house has created so many benefits.

I said, do not be sad, but the forest has been gradually destroyed. Partly due to economic money, profits. Partly due to the lack of human understanding, it should be: burning forest for cultivation, raising cattle. Every year, our house is partially cut from 415,000 km ² to 587,000 km ² . In the past, I was surrounded by plants, species, sky, ground . now, I can see far away as factories, factories, plantations growing like mushrooms. Do you know the effect of Domino? Assuming the forest does not exist, everything lacks oxygen; Land no longer exists, everything is submerged in the sea.

65 million years ago, a giant meteorite had extinct many animals, including dinosaurs. Now, the Earth mother is slowly accepting the end of the world not because of meteorites or other events in the universe, but because the creators 'prodigies' were born. People had to mention and suffer because of the phrase 'climate change' written by themselves, causing Elnino phenomenon, puncturing the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect caused the Earth to heat up, the two polar ice sheets melted. run. People are going step by step against the rules of creation. Unbelievable when the Amazon river dried up with record low water levels. Hundreds of forest fires in Russia, Australia and many other countries. Tsunamis and typhoons always hit coastal areas at any time. It is predicted that the sea level will gradually increase by 1 meter by 2050 . That's terrible!

For the time being, I kept talking about environmental issues that would make you a little bit afraid. Well then let's turn to football - your forte. Just as I told you from the beginning: Defend the forest - a life-and-death battle. It is also very simple, people have been choosing lucrative grounds like forests to kick the profit ball through it. Wherever the ball went, the people would wander out of abundant resources there. When the forests are dead, people will continue to kick that ball in other fields like the sea, the ground . They will knock down all natural defenses to create a beautiful goal. They will not expect, that goal is the death for themselves. If they know how to 'play' logically and re-create the 'pitch', they will always be free and comfortable without fear of 'own-goal'.

Hopefully, what I said, he remembered. Football is a king sport, it makes people on the planet fall in love with each ball. Why did he not use football to spread the message of forest protection in particular and protect the environment in general. Why did he not join the FIFA council to hold a meeting to boldly make a decision: Which country is good at protecting the forest and protecting the environment will be hosting the World Cup. He and his colleagues can encourage national teams, clubs to change colors, logos to protect the forest. Fans often love and follow their idols. So, you can mobilize each player to become a goodwill ambassador to preserve the green of the forest.

It's not too late to redraw the Earth from small jobs to big conferences. As a football fan, I advise you to protect the forest is to protect the king sport. As a child of Mother Nature, remember: ' Protecting the forest is protecting our lives!'
