Getting Started
Read the passage. Mai: What are you preparing for our class discussion about environmental protection?
Nam: I have a short report. Here is my main idea.
Our school can reduce waste through small,consistent actions. Before we buy a drink,we should check whether we can use a refillable bottle. After a picnic,we should sort our rubbish and leave the place clean. A clean-up helps,but it does not remove the need to prevent waste. I suggest putting clear bins near the canteen and checking them each week. We should also ask the workers what system is practical. A good plan protects both people and the environment.
Mai: Can you give a reason for your opinion?
Nam: Yes. We should consider both benefits and difficulties.
What is Nam preparing? Answer with a word or short phrase, not a full sentence.
