Dear Mom and Dad,

    How are you? I hope everything is okay. I'm doing well.

    Here at Valley College, I'm very busy with my English classes at the ESL Center. My teacher says, "It's important to practice English outside the classroom." That's why I'm writing this e-mail in English!

    Sometimes I'm a little afraid to use my English, but people are usually nice. I speak English with others here in the dorm(宿舍) and the dining room.

    I feel very comfortable here. This college has everything! It's like a small city. The student store is next to my dorm. There's a beautiful garden across from the student store. The health center is on the corner, across from my dorm. The sports center is on the corner of College Avenue and Garden Street, There are three coffee shops on College Avenue!

    There is one thing the college doesn't have, Mom: your cooking!

Love,

Sunny

Alice: The pollution is rather serious. It's said that some pour waste water into the river near our city.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!

     Today, I am very happy to have a meeting with you. At the meeting we will talk about the1we have these days, We all know the problems of2and the objects falling from windows are getting worse. We have3lots of letters about such problems. So4is time for possible ways to work out these problems. Some dog- owners don't 5their dogs well enough, and they let their dogs make a mess on the roads and in gardens. This makes the environment6.I would like to tell the dog-owners7their behavior is too bad. And at the same time they8people feel unhappy. We should keep the environment9. It is reported that some people10rubbish out of the windows. It is dangerous because falling objects11hurt others. It is against the law. We should put up a notice to educate people not to do so. If it is found, we will record the12and addresses of those people who throw objects. Then, a warning will be given and13will be punished by law.

     A safe and comfortable living environment is important to us.14we try our best to care for our community, it will be a good place to15in. Thank you for your coming.

    How green are you? Do you know how to be green?

    We all need a healthy environment, but we produce waste every day and it does harm to our environment. Though we are young，we can still do something to help. In fact, even the simplest everyday activities can make a real difference to the environment. Here are some ideas for you.

    Reduce

    Reduce means "use less". Don't waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution and waste going into the environment. Before we buy something new, think whether it is really necessary-or maybe the old one will be just as good! When we buy things, choose local products if possible, and try not to buy too many things from abroad.

    Reuse

    Reuse means "use again". Use things for as long as possible. When we buy things, make sure that they last a long time. We should look after them so that they will last, and we should repair them if we can instead of throwing them away and buying new ones. Don't use a paper cup or a paper bag. It's better to use a china(瓷器) cup and a lunch box because you can use them again.

    Recycle

    Recycle means "change things into something else". Though it takes energy to change something into something else, it's better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programs. We should also buy products made from recycled materials, such as recycled paper, to help save trees.

    So please remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

    When on the go or traveling, a Disposable(一次性) Toothbrush might be just the product for you, Typically, a Disposable Toothbrush is made out of a plastic material, with toothpaste already on the brush head. Just add water while you are using it. In some new Disposable Toothbrush models, the toothpaste comes automatically(自动地) as you squeeze (挤) the handle of the toothbrush.

    Colgate has upped the competition in the Disposable Toothbrush market by creating a Disposable Toothbrush that you can use at your desk at work, in your car, or after eating at a restaurant. This toothbrush is called the Colgate Wisp, and is about the size of an index finger. The toothbrush can get to those places that are hard to reach just like a regular toothbrush. No water is necessary when using this toothbrush, making it very useful and convenient. A pack of four of the Colgate Wisp's run at about $2.99. If you are one of those people that like to brush your teeth throughout the day but hate the hassle of carrying a toothbrush and toothpaste around, this is perfect!

    Gadgets.boingboing.net is a website that allows different people to share their thoughts and experiences on a certain product. The website gives a general review on the Colgate Wisp，and following the review, people are able to share their first-hand feelings with readers. This is helpful if you are interested in purchasing the Wisp. Visit their website here: gadgets.boingboing.net.

    However, people throw them away after using them only once. It is a kind of waste and is very bad for the environment. If you travel to Beijing， remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposable goods.
