People usually set off firecrackers (爆竹) to celebrate the Spring Festival. But because of the smog, this year seemed very quiet. It was really different. A man called Zhang Wei said that his friends and he hadn't set off a single firecracker.

More Chinese looked forward to celebrating the holiday in a greener way. They decided not to set off firecrackers. They also decided not to waste food. They said that the new celebrations sounded fashionable.

六、书面表达

Dear all,

The environment around us is becoming worse and worse. We must do something to stop it．

First, we shouldn’t throw litter everywhere. Don’t pick the flowers by the street. We must keep the environment around us clean and tidy. Next, it’s rude and impolite to talk and laugh loudly in public places. We must keep quiet in the library.

If someone is in your way, you may say “Excuse me” and be polite enough to wait till he moves. Turn off all the lights when we leave the classroom. We had better take our own bags when shopping. Moreover, we should explain the importance of protecting the environment.

We will live a green life if everyone takes action to protect the environment

Yours sincerely,

Tom
