Text 1
       Rachel Carson was an American biologist. In 1958, she received a letter from a friend. It explained that birds were accidentally being killed by DDT, a powerful chemical used to kill harmful insects. Most people didn’t believe DDT was dangerous. They just thought it made their lives better and farming easier. Carson decided to write a book to warn them. 
       The book is called Silent Spring. It begins with a story about a town, which is silent because DDT has killed nearly everything there. Then it describes how chemicals hurt the environment and pollute the soil and water, harming plants, animals and humans.
       Surprisingly, there were strong reactions to the book. Chemical companies were angry and said Carson’s idea was not true, but most scientists supported her. Many people were also worried, so they wrote letters to the government. The government checked the ideas and found it was true. Then, the government made laws controlling the use of chemicals.
     Because of Silent Spring, people learned that how our use of chemicals can harm the nature. Soon after, they began working together to protect the environment. ＜ cited from Book 1, The Basic Way by NE_Build & Grow＞
