WRITING

6 Write a paragraph of about 70 words about how you save energy at home.
Example:
We use a lot of energy at home and it costs us a lot. To save energy, we should
try making more use of natural light instead of keeping the lights unnecessarily in the
morning and afternoons. Moreover, we should unplug your electrical gadgets when not
in use. These devices consume at least 10% of electricity even when inactive.
Therefore, unplug them to save electricity. Most importantly, installing solar panels can
help you excessively. They are very economical and help in saving a lot of energy. This
can help in getting cheap electricity and protect the environment.
