EXPERT N°1 TEXT N°1 I want to do something

Hi, Greg ! For Earth Day , I don’t usually do anything because I didn’t know when it was ! But , this year I want to do something with my
friends, because I know that ecological problems are important and it’s an occasion to protect our planet ! I think that we ‘ll try to save
energy and water .Maybe, we must also recycle paper and bottles ! Now , I ‘ll try to do that everyday ! Thanks !
Andreas, 41 , Greece

EXPERTN°2 TEXT N°2 Think of future generations

Hi, Greg ! This year , I will try to do a lot of things like going to school on my bicycle or not switching the lights on for a long time. I think
it’s very important to be careful about pollution.And I think everyone can do something- small things like not leaving the lights on if you
aren’t in a room , not leaving the water running when you brush your teeth or not always taking the car when you want to go somewhere .It’s
important to think of the future generations. But you shouldn’t just do something on Earth Day , you should be carefull every day of your
life.
Roberto, 13,Italy

EXPERT N°3 TEXT N°3 A BETTER WORLD !

Hi everybody ! I think we should all make an effort every day ! We must not just make an effort one day of the year ! I try to throw away my
rubbish in a dustbin and I walk short distances . I think it’s by the little things like that that we make a better world.

Rita ,13, England.

EXPERTN°4 TEXT N°4 Clean the city

Hi everyone ! For Earth Day , I asked my school to pick up rubbish in the playground and they agreed ! We ’ll also do advertising to help
people clean their city ! I hope it will change a little bit .
