Trees are greatly useful to man in three very important ways.

The first important way is that they provide man with food, wood and other products. Trees provide not only man with food, but also many animals with food. Without trees many animals could not live on the earth. It's not easy for man to live on the earth, either.

The second important way is that trees give us shade（阴凉处）. On a hot summer day, people are looking forward to having a rest under the shade of a tree after they have walked a long way. You can imagine how important the shade of a tree is to man and to animals.

The third important way is that trees help to prevent drought（旱灾） and floods（水灾）. However, in many parts of the world, man has not realized the third important way. They cut trees down in large numbers. There will be fewer trees in the future.

People should protect trees, or they will find that they have lost the best friends they had in the end.

Dear neighbors,

We are writing this letter to you because our school has started a group. It is called “Help the Environment”. It works to look after the environment.

Here are some interesting facts that our group has learnt:

Most things that we throw away can be reused or recycled（再利用）.

Some European countries, for example, Germany, already recycle half of their waste.

90% of people in the country would like to recycle more.

We think that most people would agree with these statements:

We need to recycle our waste, not use up the world’s sources（资源）.

It is better to recycle waste than to burn it in the earth or the sea.

Our environment group has decided that one of the best things we can do is collect reusable waste. We will sell this waste to recycling companies and give the money to Friends of the Earth. We would like people living near the school to bring their recyclable waste to the school. But if you are too busy, we will collect it from you once a week.

We hope that you will agree to this. If you do, please give sign the statement below this letter.

Yours,

John Cooper

Do you know How to touch people correctly? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t move away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all.

Do you look at people when you talk? In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when you talk, but in other countries it isn’t polite to look somewhere else. In Britain and the US, people usually look at each other when they talk.
