New life for old things
Last Sunday, I found an old plastic bottle and some coloured paper at home. I didn't want to throw them away, so I made a flower pot(花盆). (开头交代素材与想法)
First, I cleaned the bottle carefully. Then I cut off its top. After that, I covered it with colourful paper. Finally, I put a small plant inside. Look! I made a lovely flower pot out of an old bottle. It sits on my desk now. (中间顺序词串联改造步骤)
I learned that many old things can be used again. We can give old things new life and help save our Earth. (结尾升华主题，紧扣“旧物新生、保护环境”主旨)
