Jack: Hi, Henry! Did you watch the documentary about
environmental protection on TV yesterday.
Henry: (1) No, I didn't.
Jack: What a pity! I highly recommend it. (2)You can watch it
online if you want to. It’s about some of the worst
environmental problems we’re facing today. Global
warming, for example, is a major problem caused by
greenhouse gases. It may lead to extreme weather events:
droughts, heatwaves and so on. (3)I felt worried when
watching the documentary.
Henry: Does it also talk about solutions to these problems?

Jack: Yes. It includes interviews with more than 20 of the worlds
leading experts on environmental issues. All of them come
up with creative ideas on how to solve these problems. (4)
Some call for the application of modern technology, and
others a change of lifestyle.
Henry: I wish we could also do something to help. (5)Got any
ideas?
Jack: What about making a brochure about environmental
problems?
Henry: (6)Sounds great! Let's get started after lunch.

Working out the rules
We sometimes use ellipsis to avoid (1) ___________ (stressing/ repeating) one or more words when the meaning is clear.
We can use ellipsis:

after some conjunctions like if, when and while
in clauses with the same pattern and the same verb
at the beginning of a sentence in (2) _________ (informal/formal) speech

informal

省略(Ellipsis): 在英语中,为了使语言简洁或避免重复,常常省略句中的一个或多个成分,这种语法现象称为省略。这种省略通常不会导致句子意义的不明确,因为上下文或语法结构已经足够清晰地传达了省略部分的信息。

B2 Jack is sharing with his classmates his experience of
taking part in a forest clean-up activity. Use ellipsis
where necessary. Put brackets around the word(s)that
can be left out.
Last weekend, I took part in a forest clean-up activity. It was organized by Green Hope, an organization devoted to protecting forests. At first I didn’t want to take part in the forest clean-up activity , but then I thought, “What if nobody goes?” Our team leader, Joe, took us to a forest outside the city. I was sad to see litter everywhere. There was a “No littering is allowed here” sign

at the entrance to the forest, but that didn’t stop people from throwing their rubbish on the ground. Joe divided us into two groups: one group cleaned up the north side of the forest, and the other group cleaned up the south side of the forest. We worked for several hours and we were happy to see that the forest looked cleaner than it had looked before. It was absolutely worth our effort! There’ll be another clean-up activity in the green belt next Saturday. You can find Joe and sign up if you’re willing to help. Everyone who takes part in the activity will receive a medal. I’ll join you too if I have time.
