It’s a special time to think about our planet and how we can take better care of it. Our school always does something meaningful for this day. This year, the theme we focused on was “Saving Energy, Protecting Resources”．First, our geography teacher gave us a lesson about Earth’s limited resources, like water, coal, and oil. We learned that these resources are running out fast because of human activities. Then, we had a class discussion. Li Hua said，“We can walk or ride bikes to school instead of taking cars. That way, we use less fuel and make less pollution.” Zhang Ming added，“We should also turn off the lights when we leave the classroom and unplug chargers(拔掉插头) that aren’t in use. Small actions can save a lot of electricity.” After the discussion, we made posters to spread the ideas of saving energy and protecting resources. We put them up in the school hall and around the neighborhood. World Earth Day reminds us that the Earth is our only home. It’s not just a one-day event but a call for long-term care. Deforestation(滥伐森林), pollution, and waste are hurting our planet. But if each of us starts with small changes in our daily lives, like reducing waste, reusing things, and recycling, we can make a big difference. Can one person change the whole world? Maybe not alone. But when millions of people do their part, little by little, our Earth will become a healthier and more beautiful place. 1．When is World Earth Day? 2．What was the theme of World Earth Day in the school this year? 3．What did Li Hua suggest to save energy? 4．How did the students spread the ideas of saving energy and protecting resources? 5．在文中找出与以下句子意思相同的一句话。 However, if millions of people do what they should do, gradually, our Earth will turn into a healthier and more beautiful place. It’s on April 22nd. Saving Energy, Protecting Resources. Li Hua suggested walking or riding bikes to school instead of taking cars. They made posters and put them up in the school hall and around the neighborhood. But when millions of people do their part, little by little, our Earth will become a healthier and more beautiful place. THANKS Lavf58.12.100 $
