Good afternoon, everyone! This is Rose Garden Middle School Radio.John Smith speaking, with something new to share with you today.We all know that thinking green is sometimes the most difficult thing to do, but not impossible! Bed ZED, a new eco-friendly village(生态村)in the south of London, has done a great job of providing its villagers with a high level living while getting them to pay more attention to protecting the environment.
people in Bed ZED have done many things.They recycle their paper, plastic, glass and other daily things.They build many houses whose windows face south in order to get as much sunlight as possible.The rainwater is collected for use in the toilets.Also, the people there travel to work in shared cars or use public transportation if they work far away.
Now, you may think it's not easy to live such a life, but let me tell you.it's not! It's a way of life.We just have to say no to what is bad for the environment, and begin working on ideas to protect it.Life would be much more pleasant if villages like Bed ZED existed(存在)all over the world!
Thank you for listening!

Most American children eat potatoes.But many children don't know what of the potato is the best for food.Take a knife and cut from the middle of the potato a piece as thin as paper.Hold the piece between your eyes and light.You will see that the potato has skin(皮),an outside rim(边缘) and an inside part.The outside rim which is right under the skin of the potato,is the most valuable part of all.But this is often thrown away with the skin.Even the skin itself is better for food than the inside.When eating a cooked potato,if you choose the inside and leave the outside,you are throwing the best part of it.If you can't eat the whole potato,eating the outside rim and leaving the inside will do.
