Read the passage quickly and find out the main idea.
The passage is mainly about how a class celebrated World Environment Day.
On June 5 each year, our class celebrates a special
event: World Environment Day (WED). For over
50 years, the United Nations has encouraged
people from all over the world to take care of the
environment. Each year, WED has a different theme
that focuses on some of the most serious environmental problems of our time.
The theme this year in our school was reducing plastic pollution. First, we went outside and collected garbage left on the school grounds. Then, our teacher helped us brainstorm ways to use less plastic in the classroom.
“We could bring our own lunch boxes instead of plastic bags,” said Li Ming.

“We can use colouring pencils instead of plastic highlighters and buy school things that come in cardboard boxes instead of plastic ones,” suggested Wang Mei.
“Those are both great ideas!” said the teacher. Then, she told us that World Environment Day is a great reminder for everyone to take care of the world around us. It brings attention to the problems that are harming the planet!
“Protecting the planet is very important. Over 150 countries in the world take part in World Environment Day, but the earth needs help every day”, added the teacher.
Can one person protect the whole planet No. But if everyone makes at least one small change each day, imagine how the world will be in a year, five years, or twenty years!

Self-check
I can understand the importance of protecting the environment: Plastic pollution affects the natural beauty of the environment. Plastic will stay in the ground for years and pollute the soil, water, and plants.
I can talk about the causes of environmental pollution: That man over there is leaving his garbage on the beach. People burn things like gas, oil, and coal. They cut down trees and create a lot of waste.
I can write about environmental problems: Global warming affects everything on the planet.
I can take action to protect the environment: Bring your own shopping bag instead of using a plastic one. Turn off devices we aren’t using like TVs and lights.
Improvement needed:
Fun Time
Hand in hand
In nature’s embrace, we find our home,
With forests green and oceans that foam.
Let’s join hands, together we’ll stand,
Protecting the earth, hand in hand.
Planting trees, creating a haven,
For birds to sing and skies to brighten.
Reduce, reuse, recycle our way,
Preserving nature for each new day.
Language point 1
1. “We can use colouring pencils instead of plastic highlighters and buy school things that come in cardboard boxes instead of plastic ones,” suggested Wang Mei.“我们可以使用彩色铅笔代替塑料荧光笔，并且购买用硬纸盒包装的而不是塑料盒包装的学校用品。”王梅建议道。
suggest v. 建议，提议
e.g. She suggested going shopping this afternoon.
她建议今天下午去购物。
suggest 的常见用法如下：
① suggest sth. (to sb.) 意为“(向某人) 建议/提议某事”。
I’ll suggest a new plan to him. 我将向他建议一个新计划。
② suggest doing sth. 意为“建议做某事”。
I suggest leaving now. 我建议现在就离开。
③ “suggest＋that 从句”意为“建议······”，从句应用虚拟语气，即从句谓语用“should＋动词原形”，should 可以省略。
I suggest that we should recycle these books.
我建议我们循环使用这些书。
[拓展]
① suggest 作动词，还可意为“暗示，表明”。此时，其后的宾语从句不用虚拟语气。
Are you suggesting that I’m fat
你言下之意是我胖
② suggestion 作可数名词，意为“建议”。
— The sun is shining, and you’d better take an umbrella
when you go out.
阳光明媚，你出门时最好带把伞。
— OK, It’s a useful suggestion.
好的。这是一个有用的建议
Language point 2
2. But if everyone makes at least one small change each day，imagine how the world will be in a year，five years，or twenty years! 但是如果每个人每天至少作出一个小小的改变，想象一下一年、五年或二十年后的世界会是什么样子!
in＋时间段
“in＋时间段”在此处表示“在(某段时间) 之后”，常与一般将来时连用，对其提问常用 how soon (多久以后)。
— How soon will your mother finish cooking dinner？
你妈妈多久之后会做好晚饭
— In an hour.
一小时之后。
[辨析]
“in＋时间段”与“after＋时间段/时间点”
in＋时间段 ①表示从现在起一段时间之后，通常用于一般将来时
②表示“在一段时间之内”
after＋时间段/时间点 ①“after＋时间段”表示以过去为起点，一段时间之后，常用于过去时态相当于“时间段＋later”
②“after＋时间点”表示在某一时刻后，常用于一般将来时
