We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young, we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you to live a green life.
   Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reduce means “use less”. Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we do buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.
   Reuse means “use again”. Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should take care of them so that they will last, 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 cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.
   Recycle means “change things into something else”. Although it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighbourhood and take part in recycling programmes. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

      A kind of little cars may take the place of today's big ones many years later. If everyone drives such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will also be more space for parking in cities, and the streets will be less crowded.
      The little cars of the future will cost less. Driving will be safer, too, since these little cars can go only 65 kilometers an hour. The cars of the future will be fine for going around a city, but they will not be useful for a long way. Little cars will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gasoline (汽油). If big cars are still used with the small ones, two kinds of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be needed for the big, faster cars and other roads will be needed for the small, slower ones.

    What will our homes be like in the future? Here are some predictions:

    Want to take a shower when you get home? You'll be able to let your smart water heater(热水器) to start heating up when you're on your way home..

    Did I turn off the oven? Did I close the window? Everyone may have a moment like that. But in the future, your home will check these for you.

    In your home of the future, all of your devices (设备) can work together to make your life more comfortable. When you turn on the lights in the morning, your windows will open at the sometime. The lights will slowly turn off by themselves after the sun appears.

    Your home may have dangers. The hackers (黑客)could open your door and cause a mess at your home through your phone or other devices. Your home will tell you about it, but you can't arrive in time. So people will have to be careful of their personal information.

    You probably know a typhoon is a large and powerful storm that can cause a lot of rain and wind. Everyone pays attention to typhoons because they can be dangerous. Some typhoons come and go and really don't cause much more trouble than a bad thunderstorm. Others may damage homes and cause some floods that go away on their own.

    Typhoons are always a concern, especially for people who live near the coast. When a typhoon is on the way, weather forecasters can say which areas will be affected. Maybe you've heard people call a typhoon a "natural disaster", but what does that mean? A natural disaster is something that happens in nature and causes big problems, like a typhoon, a tornado(龙卷), an earthquake, or a tsunami. But wherever you live, it's important to remember that there are lots of people looking out for you. In a bad storm or other crisis, this would include not only mums and dads, but also police officers, firefighters, doctors, nurses, and other people who are trained to handle emergencies.

    June 5th is World Environment Day. This makes us pay more attention to our environment. When Wang Boxuan, a Beijing high school student, uses up his exercise books, he does not throw them away. Each one is kept at his school with hundreds of exercise books that are given by other students. Then they are sold to a Beijing paper-making factory.

    The paper is recycled and used again by students and teachers in the school. At the same time, the money that is made from the sales goes to schools in Inner Mongolia(内蒙古). The government there uses the money to plant more trees and grass. This place is one of the sources(源头)of the sandstorms(沙尘暴)that often attack Beijing during springtime.

    Wang's school is one of the schools in the capital that take part in the \"green promise" environmental protection activity. So far, nearly210，000 students have taken part in the activity, collecting more than 87 tons of waste paper.

Dear sir,

    I am doing a project(课题) at school about animals in danger. I think the situation all over the world is really terrible.

    Firstly, I feel so sorry for the giant panda. Pandas mainly live on bamboo. A panda can eat about half its body's weight(重量) of bamboo in 24 hours！That's a lot of bamboo. I think we should try to do more to stop cutting down their forests. We would be so sad if they disappear.

    Secondly, what we should try to protect more is the Chinese alligators(短吻鳄) . They live in some parts of eastern China. They live in freshwater rivers and lakes but the water in some places isn't clean enough for them to live in. It's really dirty in fact. The government should stop factories from polluting the lakes and rivers.

    If we protect these beautiful animals in China, more people may come to China to visit our beautiful country, especially to see the quieter areas in the country. Now most visitors just see the cities.

    I hope you will encourage(鼓励) more people to think about such an important subject.

Yours,

Huang Jing
