Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles? Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it's easy--you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in the summer.
However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a resource of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn't need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we recycled all our plastic bottles, we wouldn't need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don't recycle much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks recycled only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.
So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you recycled it, you would help the environment. But what can you do when there isn't a recycling bin near you? Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.

I'm from the UK. At my school, sports can be very relaxing. You don't have to go to a 40-minute class each week. Instead, we get to pick when we want to play sports. Also, there is a great number of sports to choose from, so everyone can find something they enjoy. We can take lessons in swimming, rock climbing, dancing, soccer and badminton.We don't have exams for sports☺ . What are PE classes like in your country? posted on May 15th at 19:50 post a comment |
At my school, we have a few units (单元) about sports and exercise to learn about. During each unit, we practice key skills for the sport. For example, for basketball, we practice passing and shooting. At the end of each unit, we have a test. For tennis, we spend the whole unit passing the ball to each other. So for the test, we need to pass it at least 10 times without stopping to get a score of 100. Antonio, Mexico |
In my school, every afternoon from 3:30 to 5 pm is PE time. In PE classes, students usually just do practice, like running in the gym and more. However, people in the US love sports a lot. Sports team training is another kind of PE. Every school has its own sports teams, for example, American football, baseball, basketball, tennis and much more. All the teams compete in the city or the state. Every team has their schedule, but they usually train until 5 pm every day. Ann, the USA |
