Since then, China has reduced its desert area by thousands of square kilometres each year, A perfect example of this is the Mu Us Desert in North-west China. Many trees were planted there. Now about 80% of the desert is green. China has made a great start in dealing with the problem of desertification. However, all the countries in the world need to work together to protect our planet.

Shop at second-hand stores. Recycle Recycle paper, plastic and glass. Collect batteries and electronic products Millie is listing her ideas. Read her notes below. Tip: Before writing a presentation script, it is important to clearly list the main points first. 23021 Read Millie’s script for her presentation and summarise its structure. Let's go green! Are you ready to go green? Everybody can do something to help protect the environment. It's easy, and you only have to remember three words: reduce, reuse, recycle. First, let's focus on reducing waste and pollution. We can save water by taking shorter showers. We can turn off lights when leaving a room to save electricity. In addition, we can reduce pollution by saying no to single-use plastic bags and bottles. Reusing old things is another way to live a greener life. This produces less waste and saves energy. For example, we can donate old clothes or books to charities and shop at second-hand stores. Finally, recycle. It's all about dealing with waste materials correctly, Remember that things like paper, plastic and glass can be recycled. We should also collect batteries and electronic products for recycling. If we all follow these simple steps, we can make a big difference and enjoy a greener world! Introduction: the idea of the 3 R's Main body: the details of the 3 R's Conclusion: a call to action 23021 You are going to write your own presentation script. Make some notes first like the ones in Part D1. Use Millie's writing as a model. Let's go green in daily life! Reduce Use reusable water bottles (instead of plastic ones). Walk or ride bikes (instead of taking cars for short trips). Buy products with less packaging (包装). Reuse Use old glass bottles to hold small things. Pass old toys/books to younger kids. Repair broken items (like umbrellas) instead of throwing them away. Recycle Separate waste into "recyclable" and "non-recyclable" bins. Recycle old newspapers and magazines. Send empty ink cartridges (墨盒) to recycling centers. 23021 Structure Part 1 Paragraph 1 Introduction: the idea of the 3 R's—reduce, reuse, recycle Part 2 Paragraphs 2-4 Main body: the details of the 3 R's Part 3 Paragraph 5 Conclusion: a call to action 23021 Useful expressions Everybody can do something to help protect the environment. Here are some simple steps to take. First, we can save ... We should also ... In order to ..., we should ... To help reduce pollution, we can ... We should also ... Instead of ..., we could ... is also a good way to help ... It's important for us to ... 23021 Sample Let's go green in daily life! Everybody can do something to help protect the environment. It's easy — just follow three ideas: reduce, reuse, recycle. Here are some simple steps to take. Firstly, let's talk about reducing. We can save resources by using reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones. To help reduce air pollution, we could walk or ride bikes for short trips instead of taking cars. We should also buy products with less packaging (包装) — this cuts down waste a lot. 23021 Reusing is also a good way to live a greener life. It's important for us to reuse old glass bottles to hold small things. We can pass old toys or books to younger kids too — they'll love them! Instead of throwing away broken items, we should repair them (like fixing a broken umbrella). Finally, let's remember to recycle. We need to separate waste into "recyclable" and "non-recyclable" bins every day. Don't forget to recycle old newspapers and magazines. In order to recycle better, we can send empty ink cartridges (墨盒) to special recycling centers. It's all these small steps that make a big difference. Let's start today and enjoy a cleaner, greener world! 23021 What I can do Me Partner 1 I can discuss how to protect the environment. 2 I can use the passive voice in the simple future tense correctly. 3 I can describe how to go green with the new words in this unit. 4 I am more aware of how we can work together to make the earth a greener place. * Assess your learning of new words and grammar by doing the exercises on page 143.
