§課文原文 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.

3逐步講解 Steps
- Problem環境問題字：plastic pollution 塑膠污染 kills thousands of seabirds every year；climate change 令 the sea warmer——先學 problem 字。
- Solutionrecycling 回收：recycling one aluminium can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours——一個數據講完回收的威力。
- ActionWe should + 動詞：bring our own bottles and bags instead of using plastic ones；turn off the lights when we leave a room.
- 環境字pollution 污染 · conservation 保育 · eco-friendly 環保 · wildlife 野生動物。舉個例子：We collect waste paper and old batteries every Friday.
- 回收角校園行動：our class started a recycling corner beside the tuck shop. The monitor records how much we collect and shares the numbers on the notice board.
- 生態系統ecosystem 生態系統：the mangroves in Mai Po are an important ecosystem for fish, crabs and birds——wildlife depend on them.生態字有連鎖：plastic → seabirds eat it → species die——一串因果正是說明文的解釋鏈。
- 可再生能源renewable energy 可再生能源，課文例子是 solar power：My father wants to put a solar panel on our roof.太陽能之外仲有風能 wind power、水力 hydro power——同屬 renewable，考試喜歡一齊問。
- 金句應用課文收結：Even small habits can make a big difference. 作文結尾用：From now on, I will use eco-friendly bags.金句可以升級：Even small habits, like bringing your own bag, can make a big difference——舉一個例，句式更實。
5例題示範 Example
根據 Green Week 課文，用『意見 → 例子 → 好處』的方法寫一段環保建議（至少五句）。
- 第一步：第一句講意見——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.
