Ⅱ. Read and complete the tasks.
Hi everyone! I'm Wind Energy, your cool energy friend. I live in the wind and I'm always around you!
Every day, you need energy to power your homes, light up your schools and keep factories running. But guess what? Most of the energy you use now comes from fossil fuels like coal and oil. Sadly, they make lots of pollution and hurt our beautiful earth.
Luckily, I'm here to help! I'm fantastic clean energy. When the wind dances in the air, I come along with it. You can easily collect me! I have three amazing advantages. First, I'm renewable (可再生的)! The wind never runs out, so you can use me again and again forever. Second, I'm quite cheap! Once you build wind turbines (涡轮机), you don't need to spend any money on fuel anymore. What's more, I'm a good friend of our earth! Unlike fossil fuels, I never make dirty smoke or harmful gases. I keep the air fresh and clean, and protect our planet from pollution.
You can find me working in many places. On wide fields or by the blue sea, tall wind turbines stand there proudly. They catch me and turn me into electricity. This electricity can power whole villages, even big cities!
I'm such a wonderful gift for your future! I'll keep our earth green and happy, and give you all the energy you need to live a better life!
