Homework
Dear fellow students,
In recent years, extreme weather has occurred frequently, bringing great disasters to us. To deal with this issue, we, the Student Union, urge everyone to take action.
First, it would be a good idea to reduce our carbon footprint. We can do this by using public transport, cycling, or walking instead of driving private cars.
Second, it is essential for us to raise awareness about climate change. We should educate ourselves and others about the impacts of extreme weather and encourage them to adopt eco-friendly habits.
Last but not least, we can support environmental organizations and participate in community clean-up events. These actions will not only help improve our environment but also inspire more people to join the cause.
Let's take action now to protect our earth and resist extreme weather. Together, we can make a difference.
