Меня зовут Мария. Мне двенадцать лет, и я бразилец. Я живу в Манаусе,
в Амазонии, самом большом тропическом лесу в мире. Мой отец - биолог и
он там работает. Он изучает отношения между людьми, деревьями и животными.
Мне нравится здесь жить. Я люблю музыку, животных и собираю необычные камни, которые собираю
когда я иду в лес с отцом,
Мне не нравится видеть уничтожение леса, растений и животных. Природа
в опасности во всем мире. Так много проблем: загрязнение воздуха,
океан и реки, разрушение озонового слоя, животные и растения в опасности
вымирания, пожаров, изменений климата и глобального потепления - вот лишь некоторые из них.
надо начать что-то делать, чтобы изменить эту ситуацию. Это начинается с каждого из нас,
дома, в школе, везде. Мы должны ответить на вопрос: что мы можем сделать?
Во-первых, мы должны уменьшить - например, - использовать меньше воды, когда мы принимаем душ или
пока мы чистим зубы. Мы можем повторно использовать некоторые материалы, например старую одежду или обувь,
верно? И мы также должны переработать. Я перерабатываю бумагу, стекло, металл и пластик.
Объяснение:
Every day Tim wakes up at five thirty when his alarm clock rings. He gets up and then goes to the bathroom and has a long, hot shower. After that he makes breakfast for him and his wife, Betty. Tim has coffee and two slices of toast and Betty drinks a cup of tea and eats a bowl of cornflakes. At six o'clock Tim brushes his teeth, always before he gets dressed because it is very important that he doesn't get toothpaste on his clothes - Tim is a train driver and he wears a uniform! Finally, he kisses his wife and baby son and leaves his house in Watford at a quarter after six.
Tim starts work at seven o'clock and drives trains on the London Underground. He usually works in the mornings from Monday to Friday, but he sometimes works on the weekends too. At noon he stops work for half an hour to have his lunch. He eats cheese and tomato sandwiches which Betty makes for him, and drinks a bottle of milk. After lunch he works until four o'clock and then he goes home. In the evening he plays with his baby son, Ben, and watches TV with Betty. At ten thirty they all go to bed because they are very tired - and because they get up so early in the morning!
