It will bring joy, but also waste and pollution. In the UK, for example, people use about 365,000 kilometres of paper for gifts during the festival. There's also a waste of food. People throw away millions of turkeys each year. And they cut down nearly 120 million trees to use as Christmas trees. But after Christmas, they often throw the trees away. People are buying plastic Christmas trees, but they can cause pollution, too. We should think about new ways of celebrating. Let's have a“ green Christmas” this year. 1.How many waste and pollution are mentioned? 2.What are they? Activity 4: Read the conversation(对话) and answer the following questions. Dad: Mark, come here please. Did you hear the news? Let's celebrate Christmas in a new way this year. Mark: What are we going to do? Mum: Well, let's not have a big meal. We don't want to waste food. Mark: OK. But can we still have a Christmas cake? Mum: No problem. I know you love it! Dad: And this year, we won't have a Christmas tree. Mark: I don't agree. A tree is really important at Christmas! Mum: All right. Let's make a tree from old boxes. Dad: Maybe we can paint a tree on the wall. Mark: I'm not sure about that. How about using the big plant in the living room? There won't be any waste or pollution. Dad: Great idea! Mark: By the way, will I still have gifts? Mum: Yes, of course! But we’ll wrap the gifts in old newspapers. Mark: That's OK. But please use beautiful newspapers! 1. Why will they not have a big meal for Christmas? 2. What will they have for the Christmas ?
