Welcome to News Today. Christmas is coming, it brings joy, but also waste and pollution. Each year, for example, people in the UK use about 365,000 kilometres of paper for gifts. Around the world, people throw away millions of turkeys. What's more, people cut down nearly 120 million trees to use as Christmas trees. But after Christmas they often throw the trees away. Some families 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.

Green Christmas
在英文中,green Christmas 通常有两种含义:
1) 字面意义上,green Christmas指的是在圣诞节期间没有雪的情况,即天气相对温暖,地面上没有被雪覆盖,仍保持绿色。这种情况在一些气候较温暖的地区较为普遍。
2)另一种含义是环保的圣诞节,指的是以环保或可持续的方式庆祝圣诞节。这包括使用可回收的装饰物、减少节日垃圾、节能以及选择环保礼物等行为,旨在减少对环境的影响,过一个“绿色”的节日。

Learning to learn
We can agree using sentences like No problem and Great idea. When we disagree with others, be polite and say I'm not sure about that or I’m afraid I don't agree.
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: Okay. 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.
Listen again. Then talk about how the speakers agree and disagree.
Mum: All right, let's make a tree from old boxes.
Dad: Maybe we can draw 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 okay, but please use beautiful newspapers.
