AN UNUSUAL SCHOOL

Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, USA, is an unusual school. Do you hate maths? At Sudbury, if students hate maths, they don’t study it. They go to another class, such as history or science! Students at the school can study a lot of different subjects, like science, history, geography and art. Students can choose to do homework, but some prefer not to do any! If students don’t want to go to any classes, it isn’t a problem. There are lots of other activities at Sudbury. For example, some students go to drama practice. Some students play instruments, and some go to the ICT room. In that room, they can check emails or play games. They can even make their own lunch in the canteen. Pizza and pasta are the favourite meals. Some students prefer healthy salads! Students can’t leave the school, but they can walk or play sports in the school garden. There is always something to do!

There are a few rules at Sudbury. Students can’t do anything dangerous, and they can’t stay at home every day! But students are usually very happy at Sudbury. It’s a popular school!

Bank of America, New York.

This is probably one of the greenest buildings in the world. The 54-storey building was built to use natural daylight for as long as possible. It also has solar panels, rainwater collectors, and materials for the construction of the building itself are made from recycled waste from New York.

Объяснение:

Bank of America, Нью-Йорк.

Это, вероятно, одно из самых "зеленых" зданий в мире. 54-этажное здание было построено таким образом, чтобы использовать естественный дневной свет как можно дольше. Так же здесь установлены панели солнечных батарей, сборники дождевой воды, а материалы для конструкции самого здания сделаны из переработанных отходов Нью-Йорка

Today our planet Earth is facing an important problem - the global warming. It occurs because of emissions of toxic gas and increasing greenhouse effect.
Polluting gases are exhausted by factories, cars and other machines. These gases pile up in the atmosphere and don't let the light reflected from Earth's surface get out of atmosphere, which actually causes the warming itself. Because of it, glaciers melt rapidly, the ocean level rises and that poses a flood threat to all islands and seaside countries. It also means an dramatic increase in number of icebergs in oceans, which basically means a threat to sea travellers. Which in its turn poses a threat to economies of a lot of different countries, since most goods are exported and imported by water trade.

Warming is also dangerous for nature since many species of plants and animals are used to live under low-temperature conditions. And if temperature goes up, then certain plants, which are actually food for animals, will die. And that in its turn will make animals starve, and then eventually die as well. And so will die animals, whose food was primarily the previously mentioned animals, and so on and so forth.

I want to live in a country with strong economy, rich flora and fauna and not-overly-hot climate!

Let us save our planet together!

Let us say 'NO' to atmosphere pollution!

Let us switch to alternative sources of energy!

Let's revive our forests!
