Activity 5 Presentation
Share your letter with the class.
One possible version:
Dear fellow students,
We are writing to raise your awareness of living a low-carbon life. Sometimes the lights are on during the day and water taps are left running. Some students throw away their food just because they don’t like it.
It is high time that we should stop wasting because many people go hungry and the energy crisis is getting worse in the
world. First, turn off the lights and the water taps when we don’t use them. Besides, we’d better eat up the food. Moreover, we should form the habit of recycling waste.
If we take action now, we can make a difference to the world.
