In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join “environment clubs”. In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.
Here are some things students often do.
◆No—garbage (垃圾) lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used (被使用) again.
◆No—car day. On a no-car day, nobody comes to school in a car—not the students and not the teachers! Cars give pollution to our air, so remember: Walk, jump, cycle or run.
Use your legs! It's lots of fun!
◆Turn off the water! Did you know that some toilets can waste (浪费) twenty to forty tons of water an hour? In a year, that would fill a small fiver! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.
We love our environment. Let's work together to make it clean.
Hello, everyone. My name is Alice. I usually go to school by bus, but the day before Christmas, I ride a bike to school. On my way, I find a box lying on the road. I stop my bike and pick up the box. I open it and see a beautiful new dress in it. How I want to have a new dress as my Christmas present! I think it looks cool on me, but I must give it back to the owner (物主). There is no time to wait for the owner because I may be late for school. So I give it to a policeman.
At night, Mum asks me to put a box under the Christmas tree and says I will get a nice present tomorrow. The next morning, I get up early and run to the Christmas tree. I can't wait to open the box. I find a beautiful dress and it is just the same dress as I see on the road. A note in it says, "Alice, you are our good girl. This is the dress you find on your way to your school. I lose (丢失) it on my way. Mum"

Hi, my name is Alex. This is my school schedule. I have to wake up every morning at about 6:30. First, I have breakfast. Then I go to school on foot. It takes me 20 minutes to get there.
I have four classes in the morning. I like history the most. Mr. Rudolph is really cool because he knows everything about history, and he tells us lots of interesting stories. We also get a 15-minutes break in the morning. I usually talk to Seth and Franklin at that time. We also share our lunch together, near the football pitch.
The afternoon is easier, since I have only two classes. Chemistry is my favourite. We get to do fun experiments. I want to be a doctor one day. Art and craft is also fun. Our teacher, Mrs. Lester, is nice. She encourages(鼓励) us even if our drawing is bad.
After class, I ride my bike home. I spend about an hour doing my homework and then, I go out with friends for a while.
Global warming (全球变暖) is a big problem and it makes the Earth sick. So, what can we do to protect the Earth? Here are some ways of helping our beautiful Earth.
First, we should use energy wisely. Summer is coming and the weather becomes hot. Many people turn on the air conditioner (空调) to keep cool. But using the air conditioner too much is not good for the environment. Turn off the air conditioner while you are sleeping at night or when you are away during the daytime.
Recycling (回收利用) can also save the Earth. Glass, bottles and newspapers can all be recycled. This way may make less pollution, and save more money.
Try to use less water. Turn off the shower while you are washing your hair. Use the water to water flowers after you finish washing. Ask people to stop throwing rubbish into rivers and lakes.
Planting trees is also a good way to help the Earth. So, why don't we plant as many trees as possible? Trees help keep the air clean and fresh by giving off oxygen (氧气). They can keep everything around them cool in hot seasons.
In fact, there are many things we can do in our daily life. If everyone can understand the importance of saving the Earth and do something small to help, our Earth will be better.
