假设你是李华。近日,你的英语笔友Jack听说你们学校正在开展“建设节约型社会(Construction of an energy-saving society)”主题活动,发来邮件请你介绍一下你对活动的看法和建议。请结合实际情况,用英语给Jack回复邮件。 Dear Jack,
Glad to receive your E-mail. As you know, there has been an activity of \of an energy-saving society\facing the increasing danger of lack of energy. Many reasonable suggestions are given during the activity. In my opinion, there're many things we can do. In our daily life, we shouldn't waste any food or paper. It is also advisable to refuse to use disposable chopsticks and plastic bags. Besides, I think the government should make it a rule that those used textbooks should not be thrown away when we graduate from school, because most of the books are in good condition and can be recycled. Actually, there are quite a lot that we can easily do: such as, try to take buses or ride bicycles instead of driving cars. All of these will definitely help to construct an energy-saving society.
Yours, Li Hua

Let's Do Something to save Our Environment
We all live on the earth. The earth is our home. We have only one earth. We must take care of it. If we harm it, we will have a terrible end. There are three problems in our earth, which are pollution, disaster and illness.
It's our duty to protect our environment. So everyone should do something to save our environment. First, we should save every drop of water, such as turning off the taps after using it and recycling the water. For example, we can water the plants and clean the rest room with our used water. Second, we should save energy, such as turning off the lights when we leave,doing more walking, more bicycling and less driving and so on. Third, we should ask our government to control the pollution from the factories.
Let's act now to save our environment. If everyone makes a contribution to protecting the environment, the earth will become much more beautiful.
