Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate (气候) change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.

Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases (气体) into the air. By turning off lights, the television, and the computer when they aren't needed, you can help a lot.

Don't buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on a smaller amount of gas. They don't pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRS with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.

Buy recyclable (可回收利用的) products, instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package-three arrows (箭头) that make a circle. The less energy we use, the better.

Most children like watching TV because it’s very interesting. By watching TV, they can see and learn a lot and know many things about their country and the world. Of course, they can also learn over the radio. But they can learn better and more easily on TV. Why?

Because they can hear and see at the same time. But they can’t see anything over the radio. TV helps to open children’s eyes. It also helps to open their minds. They learn newer and better ways of doing things.

Many children watch TV only on Saturday or Sunday evening. They are always busy with their lessons on weekdays. But a few children watch TV every night. They go to bed very late. They can’t have a good rest, so their study is not good. How about you, my young friends?
