"SAVING THE EARTH" - Reading Activity

Tips: Read the conversation carefully and review the key vocabulary and the sentences

Interviewer: Today, I am interviewing my student Mohan about his feelings on how people can help save the environment.

          So, Mohan, how can we save the environment?

Mohan: By saving water.

Interviewer: well, how can we do that?

Mohan: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things, like watering the plants outside.

Interviewer: Oh, I think I can do that. What else?

Mohan: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you find a trash can to put it in because littering makes our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the ground?

Interviewer: No, I don’t. Do you have any final suggestions?

Mohan: Yes. We shouldn’t waste paper because trees are being cut down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forest where animals live.

Interviewer: So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, every day?

Mohan: Well, for example, when I was in Kindergarten, I used to save the newspapers so that I could make things out of them, like paper trees, instead of just throwing them away.  Now, the children in our neighbourhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a recycling centre.

Interviewer: That’s great. Well, thank you Mohan for your valuable ideas.
