§课文原文 Passage
1Our school held a Green Week in April to teach us about protecting the environment. A guest speaker told us that plastic pollution kills thousands of seabirds every year. She also explained how recycling one aluminium can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours. In the afternoon, we joined a conservation workshop about the mangroves in Mai Po. The guide said the mangroves are an important ecosystem for fish, crabs and birds, and many kinds of wildlife depend on them.
2Climate change is making the sea warmer, and this is dangerous for wildlife, the speaker warned us. She asked us to think about small actions we can take every day. For example, we can bring our own bottles and bags instead of using plastic ones. We can also save electricity by turning off the lights when we leave a room. My father says solar power is a kind of renewable energy, and he wants to put a solar panel on our roof.
3After Green Week, our class started a recycling corner beside the tuck shop. We collect waste paper, plastic bottles and old batteries every Friday. The monitor records how much we collect and shares the numbers on the notice board. From now on, I will use eco-friendly bags and remind my family to protect nature. I have also joined the school's conservation club, because even small habits can make a big difference.

5例题示范 Example
根据 Green Week 课文，用『意见 → 例子 → 好处』的方法写一段环保建议（至少五句）。
- 第一步：第一句讲意见——We should use less plastic in our daily life.
- 第二步：加例子支持——For example, we can bring our own bottles and bags instead of plastic ones.
