五、任务型阅读

Going green makes a big difference in our life. I'm Jessica Wong. It's reported that a common family produces more than one ton of rubbish a year. Some of this waste takes hundreds of years to decay.
In order to protect the environment and to save money, my family has recycled everything. On the one hand, we collect used things every day, such as paper, bottles and boxes, and put them into different bins. Then they are sent to a recycling centre. Finally, they are treated and can be used again. On the other hand, we use old clothes to make different kinds of bags. These cute and useful bags are popular with young people. As a result, I open a small shop and set up a website to sell them online.
What's more, my parents and my brother often go to work by bike. We're also going to grow our own vegetables, raise cows and keep hens and ducks.
What a difference we make for our earth!
