2.More and more people realized the importance about protecting environment.
A gaining majority of people have realised the importance of protecting the environment.


3.In my opinion,it's bad to constract factory in our commuity.

4.Because of age, parents' understanding of their children sometimes not as good as their peers'

Last sentence confused me a little. Thought I gave it a pretty good go. But you should wait to confirm with another advanced user around here.

Please don't change the sentences so dramatically. In the first one, for example, you could have simply changed "learning" to "learn" and kept very closely to the original words. There was no reason to change "more and more people" to "a gaining majority of people" In fact, that change might not even be correct - there might not be a majority, even though the overall number has increased.
