A School Trip

Attention, please! I have something important to say. We’ll go for a school trip to the science museum this Friday. Here are some rules that we have to follow.

To start with, you must be quiet in the museum. If you speak loudly, the workers in the museum will ask you to leave. Next, don’t take photos in the museum. Because it’s bad for the paintings. But you can take a pen and a notebook to write down some important things. Finally, keep the museum clean and tidy while visiting. By the way, please call 2436-7866 if you have any questions. I hope we will have a good time there. That’s all, thank you.

When we feel hungry, we can take out our phones and order some food easily. When we need to take a taxi, we can also use our phones to book one. It’s so easy. But what will happen to the old who don’t know how to use a smartphone?

With the development of technology, our lifestyle has been changed a lot. Lots of things can be done through the Internet, such as shopping, buying tickets and so on. New apps are easy for the young, while they are difficult for the old. Now China has come up with several ways to solve this problem. Everyone should take actions to overcome this “digital gap” (数字鸿沟).

Sometimes we only need several minutes to learn something new, but maybe it costs old people hours or even a few days. Next time when the old need help, we should be patient with them and never forget what they’ve done for us.

As we all know, environmental pollution is serious now. Our group wanted to know how much our young people knew about this problem and whether they realized the situation of our environment. So we made a survey of them.

This survey was mainly about many different environmental problems in China and the situation of the polluted environment. What’s more, we also paid attention to the environmental awareness (环保意识) of our young people. In the project, we also designed a questionnaire (问卷调查) to survey the young people in China.

The questions in the questionnaire could be divided into two parts. One was mainly about some knowledge of the environmental problems in China, the other was about environmental awareness.

The results of our questionnaire

Do you know about these problems?

Use the plastic bags

From the results of the questionnaire, we can see our young people’s environmental awareness needs to be raised and they are short of the knowledge of the environment. It’s really worrying.
