Green Classroom Competition

Page 32 textbook

01

Listen and read

Nam: Hey guys, look at this notice! Our school is holding
a Green Classroom Competition. The greenest classroom
will win an ecotour!
Mark: How exciting! But how will the classrooms be
judged?
Nam: It says here that classrooms will be judged on the
following: raising environmental awareness, reducing our
carbon footprint, and using resources efficiently.
Mai: I guess we should start by cleaning up our
classroom more frequently and having more plants in it.

01

Listen and read

Nam: Yes, this is the easiest thing to do, but we also need
to change our classmates' behaviour so that we can
develop eco-friendly habits in our class.
Mark: That sounds harder. I notice many of our
classmates buy plastic water bottles every day and throw
them away after a single use.
Nam: Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose,
which is certainly not good for the environment.
Mai: Well, we can place a big jug full of drinking water in
the classroom so that we can refill our reusable bottles.

01

Listen and read

Mark: Good idea! Now, to reduce our carbon footprint, we
should also make sure we turn off the lights and air
conditioners before leaving the classroom. Sometimes people
rush out and leave them on, which is a waste of electricity.
Mai: Sure. Why don't we place some brightly coloured signs
next to all doors to remind people?
Nam: So many good ideas already. Let's meet after school to
discuss more. I hope our class wins the ecotour!
Mark: That'd be fantastic!
Mai: Yes. Let's do our best!
