As for me, I believe “Waste not, want not．” We know there are still millions of Chinese living in a poor condition．We can never afford waste．Therefore, it is no doubt that saving is still a good habit that we should not give up．I do not like the men who spend their money in a wrong way．They do not know waste is a bad thing．It can only make them happy for the time being． |

More and more people are no longer interested in the simple life style, including me．And I feel embarrassed to save the things I used．What I love is the latest fashion．In my eyes, saving is already out of style． |

One of the best ways we students can do in this situation is to recycle the textbooks we are using every day．After we’ve used them and are moving on to new ones, we should find ways to recycle these books instead of simply throwing them away．There are different ways to do so, such as sending them to a recycling factory, reusing them for other purposes, passing them on to new students and so on． |

The negative effects（负面影响）of waste can be shown as follows．Firstly, it makes some students ask their parents for money quite often, which is harmful to their development．If they don’t learn to support themselves, they will be “useless people” when they graduate．Secondly, it is not easy for our parents to arrange for our schooling．Last but not the least, just like what Mary said that our country is still poor．There are many people who cannot go to university and many poor people still need our help． |

London used to be “foggy” for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today．The “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog．In other words, it was made by air pollution．In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal(煤)that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter．By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air．A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city．Within a few years, the air became much cleaner．There were no more “pea-soupers”．
Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago．However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve．One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses．If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs．Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel(燃料), like gas, is quite expensive．
However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution．As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers”in Beijing than there used to be．
