SECTION C: USE OF ENGLISH

A Carla

School student Carla Ruiz lives in a hot country

and has become very aware of the need to save

water “ Spring and winter used to be quite wet,

but these days it hardly rains at all,” she says “

Nearly all the rivers have dried up, destroying all

the wildlife in and around them and no matter

what we do they’ll never be the same again At

least, though, we can use what little water there

is more sensibly That’s why at home I recently

decided to do simple things like making sure

there are no dripping taps, or taps left while I ‘m

brushing my teeth or washing food; also having

showers instead of baths and not overwatering

the plants.Within a few days I was regularly

doing these things without even thinking, and I

know they made a different because the water

bills went down quite a bit My parents noticed

that so they started doing the same, and our bills

are now a lot lower

B VicentTrainee manager, Vicent Owen is

doing his bit to save the planet by usingless electricity around the home “ I was talking to this guy at work and he told me that we waste a huge amount ofenergy every year by leaving things like TV,DVD and computer on standbyall the time, so nowadays I try to remember- not always sucessfully- to switch them off at night Something I always do now, though, is keep the air-conditioning off, even if I get a bit too sweaty here in summer

Incidentally, I’ve now got solar panels

on the roof so that all the hot water is powered by the sun.That was a big investment, and it ended well over budget, but I’m sure I’ll pay for itself

in the end I was hoping the neighboursmight go for solar energy too, but as yet there’s no sign they will

C Lin

While Lin Chen is on a gap year, she is

traveling round Europe with friends “ We had

intended to fly everywhere,” she says “ but

when we work out just how much extra

pollution that would cause, we decided to do it

by train instead It was cheaper, too.” They

began their tour in Greece: “ We all left the

obvious place to start was where European

civilisation began, so our first rail journey

began in Athens We traveled to Patras on the

west coast, taking the ferry across to Bari in

southern Italy Unfortunately it was very windy

and I had a bad case of sea- sickness, though,

by the time we were on the train to Bologna,

I’d recovered From there we took the

overnight train to Paris, and a few days later we

went on the Eurostar to London We saw far

more of the countryside than we would have

done by plane, and it was much more

relaxing ,too.”

D Tanya Tanya Petrov works in a restaurant with an

extensive menu ,but at home she will only eat local or seasonal food: “ I strongly believe that transporting food thousands of kilometers, or storing it under refrigeration for months on end, ultimately has a highly negative impact on the climate I always try

to buy food that is produced locally, and I have a special calendar to show me which kinds of food are in season so that I know what I’m buying is really fresh And I always check the “best-before” dates fresh fruit and vegetables before I choose them

so I don’t end up having to throw any out Apart from the environmental

considerations, I’m convinced the food I eat, which has far fewer chemicals in it, helps me avoid the kind of illnesses that seem to be so common these days.”
