Electricity(电) is one thing that we waste 2. Lights, TVs,3 and other things are often kept on even when no one is using them. We should turn them off when we do not need them. It 4less than a second to do it. Anyhow, not wasting electricity is saving money, because we do not have to 5the electricity we do not use.

8big waste is food. My mother 9cook so much food that much of it was thrown away. I told her we had wasted so much 10. She thought I was right and now 11cooks what we can eat.
It is not12to be wasteful. I find there is a simple 13of not wasting things. That is to use only what we14. Do not touch what we do not need.15 this way we can stop being wasteful.
