Jamie Feilden has been interested in farms since two years ago. Now he is planning to pass his love for farms on to students.

   28 -year-old Mr. Feilden is setting up a charity (慈善机构).He plans to raise money for students from city schools who would like to visit Jamie's Farm and experience country life.

   Mr. Feilden first got the idea for his project when he started working for the Teach First Project after graduating from university in Edinburgh.

   "When I worked in the school in Croydon , I realized the students there had little experience of farm life. Many of the students in this school had never been out of Croydon before. Of course , they had never seen farm animals ," said Mr. Feilden, "So I opened up a small farm in the school. It was a real success."

   Later Mr. Feilden took a group of students back to his hometown. There the students saw many animals. They had lots of fun spending more time in the countryside. Since then he has done more work on his own farm project. He even started working for it full-time.

   Mr. Feilden said, " Living and working in the countryside can give children a chance to eat food produced on the farm. They can also do some gardening,cooking and sightseeing there."

   Now Jamie's Farm needs volunteers. If you are interested in donating (捐赠)your money or time,you can get in touch with Jamie by e-mailing him.

  As we all know,the environment around us is getting worse and worse. 

  In some places we can't see fish 1 in the river or trees on the hills. Some people even have no clean water to drink.

  Recently,a new lifestyle called low carbon life is 2 every corner of our country. The meanings of low carbon are 3 energy and no waste. It is such an important project that I can't wait to express (表达)my ideas on how to promote (推进)it.

  First,we should set up (成立)a no-car day every week in our school. Because cars not only cause serious air pollution but also waste energy. 4 the no-car day,students and teachers are not allowed to drive to school. At the same time,just walk or run. Use our 5 and enjoy the fun.

  Second,we had better not use plastic bags 6 No one can stand the " white

pollution",7 it is wise (明智的)to use cloth bags which can be used again and again.

Finally,one thing we should keep in mind is that every 8 thing comes from the small details(细节).So,as students,we ought to turn 9 the lights the moment we leave,use both sides of the paper,and reuse our textbooks and so on.

  All in all,it values greatly for all of us to 10 the low carbon lifestyle into practice.
 Just set our mind to these: no-car days,no plastic bags,and no waste. Let's do it now.
