Dear Friends,
We are writing this letter to raise your awareness of the need to protect our planet. You can help simply by participating in the No Bottled Water campaign. People tend to think bottled water is cleaner and more convenient. However, they may not know that according to scientific research, millions of tons of plastic are used worldwide to make water bottles each year.
The plastic can take hundreds of years to break down.
If you are worried about the effects of bottled water on the Earth, we would like to suggest you take the following steps.
1 Carry your water in a sustainable, reusable
bottle. In this way, you don’t need to buy
bottled water.
2 If you have to purchase a plastic bottled
beverage, recycle the bottle after use.
3 Ask your family members and friends to take
part in this campaign.
Everyone is responsible for making our planet cleaner and better by doing what we can. Let’s start NOW.
With best wishes,
Class 11
Share your letter with the class.

Nikki lifted the stone and saw the bag with the house key in it. She took the key and ran toward the back of the house, calling, “Cara, look what I found!” Nikki stopped short when she saw her sister wiping away tears of her own. “Here, Cara,” she said as she handed her the key. “Thanks, Nikki,” said Cara softly. “I had forgotten all about it.” Cara unlocked the back door, and they went into the house.
“Sorry,” they said at the same time. Cara shook her head and smiled. “I guess you're not a baby and I'm not a babysitter — or at least not a very good one.” Nikki didn't know what to say. Cara's right, she thought. “You're OK,” said Nikki, “but let's just say that we're sisters instead.” “Deal,” said Cara. “Want to play cards ” Nikki nodded and smiled wildly. Wednesdays were looking a whole lot better.

Dear school friends,
As we all know, many teenagers are living unhealthily now. _________________________

Dear school friends,
As we all know, many teenagers are living unhealthily now. Some of them get into bad habits, which are so harmful that many teenagers suffer from various illnesses, such as heart disease, being overweight, and near-sightedness.
Therefore, we teenagers should change these bad habits and live a healthy lifestyle. To live healthily, we should first have a balanced diet.
That is, we should abandon fast food and snacks, and eat more fresh fruit and vegetables. Second, we should get rid of the bad habit of staying up to make sure we have enough sleep every day. Last but not least, we should take exercise regularly, which will strengthen our body.
Dear school friends, let’s live well and become healthy teenagers!
