Daming:Are you going to enter the photo competition,Tony?

Tony:You bet!I want to beat He Zhong this year.He’s not going to win it twice! Daming:Who’s He Zhong?

Tony:He’s the boy who won the photo competition last year! Daming:The one who took photos at the school dance?

Tony:That’s right.The thing is,he’s really good.And the general standard of the

competition is much higher this year.

Daming:I have a feeling that we can solve these little difficulties.What are the

subjects that they’ve chosen for this year’s competition? Tony:Nature,Home and Away,City and People,and Music.

Daming:I think He Zhong will choose the subject Home and Away,and take

photos of Beijing?

Tony:But Beijing isn’t my home town.It’s Cambrige.

Daming:It doesn’t matter.Take some photos of Beijing and add some photos of

Cambridge that you took recently.

Tony:That’s a good idea.What about that photo of my cousin flying kites with

Chinese kids in the Summer Palace?And the one of him reading a Chinese menu for the first time in Cambridge?

Daming:Nice photos!I’m sure you’re in with a chance!

Lingling:After our lesson on the environment,I’m worried about the future.

Pollution is our gret enemy,and we have to fight it.If the rivers are polluted ,farmers can’t use the water for their crops.

Tony:And in some places,pollution from factories spreads over cities and

villages.It makes people ill,and may even kill them.Pollution is a danger to our health.

Betty:And there are so many cars on the roads.They use so much oil and cause

pollution as well.

Daming:But we’ve only students.We can’t do anything about factories and cars. Betty:It’s no use talking about things we can’t do.We’ve got to think of things we

can do! Daming:Such as...?

Lingling:Do you think we can make our school a green school? Daming:What’s a green school?

Lingling;At a green school,every class collects waste which we can be recycled or

used again.Then the school sells the waste and use the money to help students in poor areas.

Daming:Nice idea!

Betty:Students at a green school also learn ways to save energy and recycle at

home.That means less waste.

Tony:That’s a good idea.Though pollution is heavy now,I don’t think it’s

hopeless.If everyone starts to do something,the world will be saved.

How to be green.

By Wang Lingling.

How green are you? Answer these questions and find out.

? Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?

? Do you buy new clothes just because they are modern? ? Do you turn off the lights when you leave home?

? Do you take your own bag when shopping and no ask for a plastic bags?

? Do you buy drinks in bottles?And what do you do with the bottles when they are empty? ? Do you divide the waste into things to recycle and things to throw away?

We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day, and it is harmful to our environment. Repeat these three words daily: Reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reduce

Reduce means \you order more food than you can finish.Turn off the lights when you do not need them.Before you buy something new,think whether it is really necessary,because maybe the old one is just as good! Reuse

Reuse means \last.Repair them if possible.Do not throw them away and buy new ones.Do not use paper cups or paper bags.It’s better to use china cups and cloth bags because they can be used many times. Recycle

Recycle means \change things into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Divide your rubbish into plastic,glass,paper and rubber.Develop a recyling policy for the whole community.But products suah as recycled paper to help save trees.

We cannot hope for rapid change,but let’s take these simple steps today so that we will save the woeld for our grandsons and granddaughters tomorrow.
