Pre-writing
Task 1 Scan the text and answer the questions.
My name is Li Xiang. We have all learned a lot about air pollution since Mr. Wang's geography lesson last week. But today, let's talk about water pollution.
First of all, people have put lots of unclean things into rivers and lakes, such as waste water and rubbish. Such actions have reduced the quality of our drinking water. Besides, farm and factory activities have also been the main causes of water pollution, For many years, farms and factories have poured harmful materials and waste into
rivers. As a result, the natural environment has suffered greatly. Worse yet, oil pollution from ships and land-based factories is also serious. It has polluted the ocean and
harmed plants and animals as well.
In a word, water pollution has become a great danger to human health and the environment. We need to reconsider our way of living and protect our home planet.

We have all learned a lot about environmental protection since our teacher gave us a lesson on pollution last month. Today, I'd like to share some activities I have done to help protect the environment.
First of all, I have ridden my bike to school for two years. It not only keeps me healthy but also reduces air pollution. Besides, I always sort the waste at home. I put recyclable waste like paper and plastic bottles into the blue bin and kitchen waste into the green bin. As a result, our home produces less trash than before. Also, I have stopped using plastic bags. When I go shopping, I always take a reusable cloth bag with me. In fact, I have also encouraged my parents to do the same. Now, we all use cloth bags instead of plastic ones.
In a word, everyone can do something to protect our environment. Small actions can make a big difference if we all work together. Let's keep doing our part to make our planet greener and cleaner.
