The duty of my group is to deliver environmental protection brochures and the importance of environmental protection.Time passed quickly. It was getting late we knew it and the square looked more . as I was, I was very happy because
45、we did do something to protect the environment.aware改为awareness。此处意为“为了增强保护环境的意识”，根据前面的the和后面的of可知，此处应用aware的名词形式，故将aware改为awareness。在environmental前加an。此处泛指“一次环境保护活动”，且后面的activity是单数，故在environmental前加an。删除have。这次活动的时间为上文提到的last Saturday，所以In the morning是指上周六的早上，是表示过去的时间状语，应用一般过去时，故删除have。when改为where
46、。此处是定语从句，先行词为the square，从句中缺地点状语，故将when改为where。rubbishes改为rubbish。rubbish意为“垃圾”，是不可数名词，故将rubbishes改为rubbish。another改为others。根据语境可知，此处应表示“一些人捡广场上的垃圾，一些人清理墙上的旧海报，其他的人扫地”。another意为“另外一个”，不能表示剩下的全部，故将another改为others。introduces改为introduce。这句话中，系动词is之后是由and连接的两个并列的表语，即to deliver environmental protection b
47、rochures和(to) introduce the importance of environmental protection，故将introduces改为introduce。after改为before。根据语境可知，此处应表示“转眼之间，天就黑了”，before sb. know it是一种固定用法，表示“转眼之间，一下子”，故将after改为before。beautifully改为beautiful。此处looked为系动词，后面应加形容词作表语表示状态，故将beautifully改为beautiful。Tiring改为Tired。此处是as引导的让步状语从句。把表语形容词提到句首，后面句子用倒装，此处的形容词应该是修饰I的状态，故将Tiring改为Tired。注意句子开头首字母大写。
