Answer 1

My dear friends,
Earth Hour aims to raise public awareness of climate change by asking people worldwide to turn off their non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour on the last Saturday of March.  (summary 分值5分，全抄文章内容的少给或不给分)
These days the global environment is facing serious challenges. Deserts are spreading, the air and water are being polluted, and global warming has already had great effects on the two poles. Moreover, limited energy resources are being used up, and renewable clean energy resources are still far from being developed quickly enough.
It’s high time that we shouldered our responsibility to protect the environment for future generations. We can contribute a lot just by turning off the lights when going out, by riding bikes or walking to school, or by using renewable products.
My dear friends, let’s show our concern for climate change by doing something quite simple--- turning off our lights for one hour on the last Saturday of March.
