Module 3 3B Exercise 4, page 211 Every day we go to school, we learn, and then we go home.0:00
But I think it's important for students to remember that while we're there, we all share certain responsibilities.0:15
For example, if we see someone getting bullied, we should tell a teacher, bullying is horrible and we should never tolerate it.0:21
People mustn't be allowed to get away with something so nasty.0:30
But most important of all, we have an obligation to respect our teachers.0:34
They work really hard to give us a good education and prepare us for the rest of our lives, even if it does include doing a lot of homework.0:38
2 I've just been to a lecture about how to be a green citizen.0:48
It was full of tips about the little things all of us can do to help the planet.0:53
Many of the tips, such as taking shorter showers and not leaving electrical appliances on standby, I knew already.0:57
But there were some interesting suggestions, such as eating less meat and planting shade trees in your garden.1:04
I now want to read about these things some more.1:11
I don't know if I could ever reduce my meat consumption, but if planting shade trees in my garden can cut down on my air conditioning use during the summer months, then I'd definitely consider it.1:14
But first I need to get more information.1:24
To be completely honest, I always thought that global warming wasn't really a problem.1:30
It seemed to me that people were worrying about nothing.1:35
But one day my daughter came home from school and told me what she had learned about it.1:38
Frankly, it worried me.1:44
I realized that global warming was a real problem that affects the air we breathe, the weather, and all life on the planet.1:45
Since then, I've decided it's my duty to do what I can to help the planet.1:53
So every Sunday, my daughter and I go on a beach cleanup.1:57
As she says, it's the least we can do.2:00
