Good morning, teachers and friends!
I’m Jason Lee from Singapore. Today is Earth Day. I’d like to talk about my home country on this special day.
Singapore is a garden city and even our airport is like a huge garden.
Everyone is taking action to make Singapore greener. The government encourages people to take public transport like buses and the MRT. We usually walk or cycle to school. In all schools, we have environmental classes.
In fact, we have a Green Plan. In about ten years’ time, all new cars and taxis will be electric. And 80% of the new buildings will be low-energy ones. We can also walk to a park in 10 minutes.
However, Singapore alone can’t make a green planet. All the countries in the world should do their share to make the Earth greener. It’s not only for the planet but also for the future of mankind.
