Read the passage and answer the questions in the first paragraph.
How to be green
by Zhao Ming
How green are you? Do you care about protecting the environment and saving energy? Try these questions and see.
? Do you try to walk or ride a bike to school?
? Do you buy new clothes just because they are the latest fashions? ? Do you open a window instead of turning on air conditioning? ? Do you buy things produced locally instead of made abroad?
? Do you take your own cloth bag when shopping instead of using plastic bags? ? Do you sort the waste before throwing it away?
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.
Remember these three words: Reduce, reuse and recycle.
Reduce
Reduce means \less\Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether 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
Reuse means \make sure that they last a long time. We should look after 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
Recycle means \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.

Tony's dad: Hi, Tony. What are you up to?
Tony: I'm looking for the photos that you took in Australia.
Tony's dad: OK, would you like a hand to find them?
Great! Thanks. We're doing a project about countries that we want to visit, and I'm going to write about Australia. I have to imagine that I've been Tony: there, and that I'm writing a letter to Mum and you.
Tony's dad: Well, have a look at these.
Tony: Let's see. Hey! What's that?
It's called Uluru. It's a huge rock in the centre of Australia. It's
Tony's dad: fantastic.
Tony: And this building?
That's the Sydney Opera House. It's like a huge sailing boat with water on three sides. And this one is a photo of a shark that I saw on the Great
Tony's dad: Barrier Reef.
Tony: Wow! It's amazing! Did you see any kangaroos or crocodiles?
There were kangaroos that were jumping alongside the car on our way back
Tony's dad: from Uluru. But no crocodiles.
Tony: They're great photos. By the way, can I borrow the camera again?
Tony's dad: Why?
Well, there's a photo competition that I want to win! I want to take some Tony: photos at our school dance next week.
I bet you do! OK, you can borrow it, but only once you've done your project
Tony's dad: on Australia.
Module 7 Unit 2
Read the letter and find what the photos show.
Thursday
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm writing this letter to you from the centre of Australia. At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the Aboriginal name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a helicopter tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it was: 3.6 kilometres long and 348 metres high. The colours of the rock are fantastic, and at different times of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient Aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a centre of Aboriginal culture.
The Australians have many British relatives and they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but the games that they love the most are football, cricket and rugby. Because most Australians live near the coast, they love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.
Although it's December, it's summer over here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.
Most Australians speak English, although they have some special expressions such as \mate.\It's not a problem!\
The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper, and I got very tired. Everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lying down ...
Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It's been a fantastic trip! Love, Tony
