Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or your friends for some advice. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.

Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by sharing a car. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning off the lights, the television, and the computer when they aren’t needed, you can help a lot.

Don’t buy products (产品) that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on less gasoline (汽油). They don’t pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.

    Buy recyclable (可循环再用的) products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package. The less energy we use, the better.

Here is a useful computer game. Let me tell you how (2) _________ _________ it. The game is called Draw Something. It needs two players to work together. One draws a picture and the other guesses what it is.

The game gives you three words each time. Then you choose(选择) one to draw. Some are easy and others are difficult. For example, it is much easier to draw a moon than a cat. If your partner guesses the word correctly, you will get one to three “coins(硬币)”. Coins are very useful. The more you guess the pictures, the more coins you will get. If you can’t draw any of the words, you can use a “bomb”(炸弹) to get three new words. Of course, the bombs are not free. You need to buy them with the coins.

(1)This game can help you learn English words and practise drawing pictures. But you’d better not spend too much time on it. It will be bad for your eyes.
