广东省汕头市2020年中考英语预测卷(五)
Are you aged between 13 and 19 years old? Do you care about your local environment? Would you like to help make the area you live in cleaner, safer and more friendlier? If your answers are "yes", then read on! Here are a few easy things you could do to get started.
Neighbourhood watch
Neighbourhood watch forms are very popular in the UK. If you go away on holiday and leave your house, it's very nice to know that a neighbour is keeping an eye on it. It's a good way to make the area you live in safer.
Lending a hand
There are often elderly people living in the neighbourhood who may not be able to do the things that you can. Offer to do their shopping once a week, look after their garden for them or maybe walk their dog!
No littering
Nobody likes picking up other people's rubbish, but a clean street can make all the difference. Take it in turns to go out once or twice a week and see what you can find.
Recycling
Nearly two-thirds of your rubbish can be recycled. Some areas already provide places for people to recycle bottles, plastic and paper. Find out if this is done in your neighborhood. If it's not, do something about it.
