A

The earth is our only home. Now it needs help. It’s our duty to do something to help the earth. In fact, we can do that by doing small things. Don’t neglect the small things. You know that small things can make a great change, too.

When I leave a room, I turn off the lights. This is a way to save energy. So does turning off the TV. Some students often forget to turn it off.

I like to play outside. I like to read, too. These activities don’t use any electricity. They are good for me and for the earth! I help the earth in other ways, too. When I brush my teeth, I turn off the tap. This saves water. I also take shorter showers. We all need water. I don’t want to waste it.

Recycling helps, too. When a jug (水壶) is old or broken, I recycle it. I often turn it into something new. It is fun to turn an old thing into something new.
