Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,

    Today, I am very happy to have a meeting with you. At the meeting we will talk about the 1 we have these days. We all know the problems 2 and the objects falling from windows are getting worse. We have 3 lots of letters about such problems. So 4is time for us to look for possible ways to work out these problems.

    Some dog owners don't 5 their dogs well enough, and they let their dogs make mess on roads and in gardens. This makes the environment 6. I would like to tell the dog owners  7 their behavior is too bad, and at the same time they are 8 people feel unhappy. We should keep the environment 9.

    It is reported that some people 10 rubbish out of the windows. It is dangerous because falling objects 11 hurt others. It is against the law. We should put up a notice to teach people not to do so. If it is found, we will record the 12 and addresses of those people who throw objects. Then, a warning will be given and 13 will be punished by law.

    A safe and comfortable living environment is important to us. 14 we try our best to care for our community, it will be a good place to 15 in. Thank you for your coming.

    Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.

    Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources, we are short of others, for example, fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

    In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.

—Yes. The factory stops _______ now.
