Activity 2 Group work. Share your answers with your group members and discuss how you go green and what you need to do more.
1-10 11-20 21-30
You need to do much more! You can do better. Excellent! Keep going.
Activity 3 Report your group discussion to the class.
Hello everyone.
We have discussed our survey on low-carbon life. Many members in our group have good habits. For example, we often go to school on foot or by bike, and we turn off lights when leaving rooms to reduce waste.
But there are also weak points. Few of us keep buying products with no plastic packaging. Sometimes we throw rubbish away without sorting it.
We decide to make a change. We will reuse cloth bags and learn more about recycling. Small actions can make a big difference in protecting our earth.

Language points
1. It can keep you from buying more things than you really need.这可以避免你购买超出自己实际需要的东西。
【点拨】(1) keep sb from doing sth 阻止/避免某人做某事
e.g. Wearing masks keeps us from catching cold.戴口罩能避免我们感冒。
类似的短语还有 stop sb from doing, prevent sb from doing。
(2) than引导比较状语从句,more...than...比······更多;多于。than 后面常省略和前文相同的成分,完整形式:buy more things than the things you really need。
e.g. Don’t take more food than you can eat.不要拿多于你能吃完的食物。
2. If you do need to use the oven, try to cook more than one thing at a time so that you can save energy.如果你确实需要使用烤箱,尽量一次烹制多种食物,以此节约能源。
【点拨】so that 为了,以便(表目的,不能放句首)
e.g. She exercises every day so that she can keep healthy.她每天锻炼,为了能够保持健康。
同义短语有:in order to do sth(句首、句中均可)、in order that+完整句子(从句,常搭配can/could)
e.g. He gets up early in order to arrive on time./He gets up early in order that he can arrive on time.他早起是为了能按时到达。
3. Most importantly, we should do everything possible to prevent pollution.最重要的是,我们应该尽一切可能防止污染。
【点拨】everything possible 意为“一切可能的事情”。当不定代词需要定语修饰时,定语通常置于不定代词之后,这种现象叫作“定语后置”。
e.g. The little girl would like something different to drink.这个小女孩想喝点不一样的东西。
4. As we all know, small acts can make a big difference, and we can make it happen if we act as one.众所周知,小小的举动可以产生很大的影响,如果我们齐心协力,就能实现这一目标。
【点拨】(1) 这是一个并列复合句,and 连接两个简单的分句。第二个分句中又含有一个由 if 引导的条件状语从句。
(2) as we all know 众所周知
(3) act as one 齐心协力
(4) make a/no/some difference (to sb/sth)意为“(对某人/某物)有/没有/有些作用、关系、影响”。
make all the difference (to sb/sth) 意为“(对某人/某物)关系重大;大不相同”。
e.g. Changing schools made a big difference to my life.转学对我的一生产生了重大影响。
