Learning objectives
Dear Friends,
We are writing this letter to call on everyone to take part in the Clear Your Plate campaign. It urges people to save food by not wasting anything on the dining table. You may not know over 30% of the world's food is wasted, while many people in poor areas do not have enough to eat. In order to save food, we propose:
First, do not order more than you need in the school canteen.
Second, order less and take leftover food home when dining in restaurants.
Last, call on family members and friends to take part in the campaign.
Reducing daily food waste by just 5% could save millions of people from starvation. Let's start doing what we can to make the world a greener, cleaner place!
With best wishes,
Class 8

Dear fellow students,
Soon we are going to say farewell to middle school and become freshmen in universities.
