We can see waste everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources（资源）, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal（煤） or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need and so on. Little by little, we will change everything. We can stop waste one day, if we do our best.

Years ago, I went to a special English class because it was the only school subject that I wasn’t good at. I got excellent marks because of my fine memory (记忆力). I could read and translate any text that I heard once but I couldn’t make my own (自己的) sentences. My face usually turned red when my teacher wanted me to answer questions in English. A few months later, I had to pass an exam. I couldn’t retell the novel with my own words, so I decided to learn the book by heart. I told my teacher 10 pages of the book. When the teacher understood what was happening, she stopped me and said, “Gagik, you have a fine memory, but it’s much easier to speak English.”
That day on my way home, I met a foreigner. He couldn’t find the way to his hotel. To my surprise, I spoke to him in English and helped him find his hotel.
