Our world has been greatly affected by global warming and it is critical (关键的) that people, young and old, join hands to fight it. Most     1     (important), children today should learn to be eco-friendly at a young age.

It is believed that the nation should ask schools to have     2     educational class about “Green Living”. Every school should teach students     3     (know) about global warming and what they can do to reduce their carbon footprints. In the classes, students could be assigned to find several solutions to energy problems while learning about their effects     4     the earth. Students also should     5     (encourage) to use what they learned in class at home.

Too many people think that global warming is not a threat, but it is one of our     6     (big) problems. Steps taken to be “green” in the school     7     (be) so effective. What would children be learning if the school’s lights were always left on and there were no recycling bins?
