We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make {#blank#}2{#/blank#} real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green and healthy {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

    Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Reduce means "use less". If we stop wasting, we can not only {#blank#}5{#/blank#} money but also reduce pollution and waste. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! If {#blank#}6{#/blank#}, choose local products and try not to buy too many things from abroad when we do need something.

    Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} sure that they can last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last long and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china(瓷器) cup and lunch box because you can use them {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.

   Recycle means "change things {#blank#}9{#/blank#} something else". Although it takes energy to do this, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. We can do this in many ways. For example, we can find out {#blank#}10{#/blank#} can be recycled in our neighborhood and take part in the recycling programs and we can also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper to help save trees.

    Last Sunday，we had a class trip to enjoy {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (我们自己). Our head teacher took us to the beach for a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (野餐). When we arrived there at9:00 a. m. by bus, we heard a big {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (声音). It was made by the wind and the waves(海浪). It sounded like they were playing a {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (精彩的) symphony(交响乐).

    Right away, we sat down and {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (开始) to enjoy our picnic. We told jokes, sang and played games while eating sandwiches, chocolate and other snacks. In the afternoon, some students chased each other in the water and {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (游泳) for fun. Alice and I attempted to catch fish in the water. Some students helped the cleaners pick up the garbage. Others played cards and chess. Everyone {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (看上去) extremely happy.

    At 4:30 p.m. we had to go back to school, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (虽然) we wanted to spend some more time on the beach. Just then, I found a blue hair band on the sand. "I think Alice {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (落下) it," Sam said, "because she likes the blue color."" But I didn't think it could {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (属于) to her because I saw her wearing a yellow one, At last, we knew it was Cindy's We got back to school at 5:45 p.m. The picnic came to an end, but we would always remember the good time we had.

Make a life list of animals

Write down the names of ten animals you've seen in the last month. It can be any animal, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} an elephant in a zoo to your pet dog at home. Congratulations! You've just started your "life list" of animals. You can add more {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to your list anytime. You don't have to finish it in a certain time. You can keep adding to it for the rest of your {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

This idea is borrowed from bird watchers who record the names of all the birds they see. Your list can include {#blank#}4{#/blank#} animal you see, whether it's on land, in the ocean, or in the air. It's like "collecting" your {#blank#}5{#/blank#} animals without disturbing (打扰) them in their natural habitats (栖息地).

If you {#blank#}6{#/blank#} this sounds difficult, you can start with your own backyard. You might be {#blank#}7{#/blank#} at the number of birds, insects and other small animals you can find there!

When you go camping or travel, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} a wildlife encyclopedia (百科全书) or a guide book and a notebook with you. That way, you can add animals from places far away to your list. You can also {#blank#}9{#/blank#} your list on the social media (媒体) with others.

Ask your friends {#blank#}10{#/blank#} their own life lists and share tips for the best places to see wildlife. Comparing {#blank#}11{#/blank#} you've seen is part of the fun! Now, get out and start looking for animals. Happy exploring!
