Recently, the term “carbon neutral (碳中和)” has been used frequently at some important meetings in many countries. Many countries have put forward the goal of striving (奋斗目标) to be carbon neutral. China is expected to be carbon neutral by 2060. So, as middle school students, what can we do to protect the environment and live a low carbon life? Here are some suggestions for you.

Travel in a green way. Now more Chinese people have cars of their own. It has brought us a lot of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. So we’d better take a bus, do more walking, cycling and less driving. By doing so, we can save energy and reduce pollution.

Cut down white pollution. We should reduce the use of plastic bags. When you go to the supermarket, bring your own shopping bags.

Save water. Lack (缺乏) of water resources will affect the ecological environment (生态环境). So please turn off the tap after using it.

Sort the rubbish. Doing garbage classification (垃圾分类) in a right way can turn waste into wealth.

Plant more trees. Planting more trees means cutting down and reducing the carbon footprint (碳足迹) and spread of greenhouse gases.

Use both sides of the paper. The paper production process uses a lot of trees.

Now is the time that we should take up our responsibility to protect our environment from being polluted. Let’s join our hands and take action immediately.

Do you like exercise? Do you know something about plank (平板支撑) exercise?

Plank exercise has become more and more popular in recent years. It requires little time. It’s easy to do. What’s more, doing plank exercise regularly may bring you lots of benefits.

Performing plank exercise as a daily home exercise before or after school will not only speed up your metabolism (新陈代谢), but also keep your metabolic rate high all day long. Doing the exercise regularly will make you burn lots of calories. This is especially useful if you have to sit in the classroom for hours every day. A high metabolic rate will help you lose weight and keep in good shape.

Have you ever tried standing on one leg? You couldn’t stand straight for more than ten seconds right? It’s not because you are drunk, of course. Instead, it’s because your muscles (肌肉) aren’t strong enough to give you the balance you need. Doing plank exercise regularly will improve your balance. Stronger muscles will also help you stand with straight posture (姿势) at all times.

________ Just think about it: You are sitting in your chair, at home or at school, all day long.

Your muscles get tired, and your legs get heavy. Plank exercise will relax the muscle groups that may cause stress in the body. As a result, it can have a powerful and positive effect on our mood.

Considering all the benefits (益处) of plank exercise, will you make it part of your everyday life?

People can travel without much money by staying in other people’s house. Sometimes the travelers may sleep for a few nights on other people’s couch (沙发) for free. This way of travelling is called couch surfing.

Couch Surfing.org is an organization that connects travelers all around the world. Members of it can find a place to stay when they travel or share their homes and hometowns with travelers from other places. In this way strangers can help strangers in order to make the world a better place.

The organization has millions of members in 238 different countries and it has changed the way of travel forever. Jamie from Australia has traveled in this way all over the world. “When I travelled before, I used to find a cheap hotel to save money, now I stay in really nice houses and apartments. But the best thing isn’t the free living condition, it’s the people you meet. A couch surfing host will usually cook you a meal which helps break the ice. Then they’ll often introduce you to their friends and take you to the places they enjoy: Couch surfing allows you to experience a country and its culture.”

Why do people agree to let a stranger sleep on their couch? Delphine, an experienced host from Paris, has an answer. “They say that money makes the world go round but I try to help people go round the world without much money!” she says with a smile. So far she has received more than 100 travelers. “I enjoy meeting people from different cultures and I’ve made friends from all over the world,” says Delphine, who is also a professional cook. “And of course, I like sharing French food with them. Usually my guests love trying it but I’ve had problems sometimes. Once I cooked roast lamb for a guest but unfortunately, when she got here, she told me she was only used to eating vegetables!”

The idea of travelling the world for free has even been made into a TV series. Alex and Zsolt from the US set out with no money at all. They relied on social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter to ask for help. They say, “wherever we went we were always provided with food. All over the world, food is a common bond.” They travelled sixteen different countries and the results were turned into the TV show Around the World for Free.
