Subject: Eco-friendly life

... We had a really interesting lesson at school. It was about how to go green and why we need to reuse and recycle materials.

... What do you think about going green? What do you do to live an eco-friendly life? Why is it important to take care of the environment? ...

Write a letter to Sam and answer her 3 questions.

Write 100–120 words.

Remember the rules of letter writing.

Dear Sam,

Thank you for you e-mail, I was so happy to hear from you again. Sorry I couldn't answer earlier: I was realy busy at school.

In your letter you asked me about eco-friendly life. Well, I believe, that it's impotant to go green nowadays becase we need to take care of the enviroment. I understand it well, so I try to reduce the amount of plastic I use every day. For example I buy coffee only in my own reusable cup. I also make sure that the products I buy are made from recyclable materials.

Well, I'd better go now as I need to help my mum.

Write me back soon!

Yours faithfully,

Regina
