Question:

The Principal of your school wants students to help protect the environment by reducing the amount of waste at school. You are Hugh Cheung, the President of the Environmental Protection Club. Write a proposal of about 250 words to the Principal recommending ways to cut the amount of rubbish produced at school.

Dear Principal,

A Proposal on Ways to Cut Waste at School

Our Environmental Protection Club is very much concerned about saving the Earth. To achieve this, we would like to recommend two things students may do to reduce the amount of rubbish produced at school.

1.        Conserving Paper

The first step to cut waste is to conserve paper of all kinds. For example, students should use both side of writing paper and use it only when necessary. Besides, we suggest a tray be placed in each classroom for accumulating one-sided paper. Instead of using new paper, students should make good use of the single-sides paper for note-taking or other informal purposes. Apart from saving writing paper, we recommend that students should also conserve toilet paper. This can be done by using hand dryer instead of paper towels after washing their hands.

2.        Using Reusable Food and Drink Containers

Another way to reduce waste is to ask students to avoid non-recyclable food and drink containers. We suggest students bring water in reusable bottle from home rather than buying bottled drinks at school every day. The same can be done for lunch boxes. Students should consider bringing their own lunch boxes and choose dine-in if they go out for lunch, instead of having take-away in paper and non-reusable containers.

Thank you very much for your attention and I hope you can take my proposal into consideration.

Yours faithfully,

Hugh Cheung

The President

Environment Protection Club

教中四作文. 一班完全唔識英文的人去作文. 題目係environmental protection. 預計會考/文憑試會出的大路問題係有什麼環保問題和什麼解決辦法。我叫了他們背五個problems和五個ways to reduce pollution.

以下是五個污染問題句子：

1. The air is being polluted by smoke and gases.
2. Fish stocks are being reduced by over-fishing.
3. Seas and oceans are being contaminated by oil spills.
4. Forests are being wiped out by deforestation.
5. Crops are being destroyed by frequent flooding.

只有咁樣當然會低分，無elaboration,無examples. 但好過一個字都寫唔出。至少有些內容。　

如何去記呢？你可以記天氣一個污染, 海水兩個污染, 和陸地兩個污染.

咁解決辦法呢？我叫佢地背呢５個校園環保辦法：

1. Whenever you leave the classroom, remember to turn off the lights.
2. To help save energy, you can also use the stairs instead of the lift. Besides, walking the stairs is good exercise.
3. Some of your rubbish such as empty plastic bottles and cans can be recycled into useful materials so put them in the recycling bins.
4. Also, develop the habit of writing on both sides of paper- you can save many trees by doing this.
5. In addition, learn to save water. Always turn off the tap completely after using it.

呢5句唔係唔易背. 內容上, 可以記慳電X2, 循環再用X1,慳紙, 和慳水. 難在句型. 這5句主要是imperatives,即命令句子. 但第1 句是complex sentence, 第2句不是,但作者加上一些連接詞,如'to help save energy", 和besides. 第三句係complex sentence, 因為後面有so; 第四句係simple sentence,但加了連接詞also,和 by doing this. 最後一句有simple sentence, 只係有in addition 作連接詞, 也有complex sentence,用after using it作independent clause.
