Приклад усних відповідей (Example oral answers):

1. How often do you use public transport?
   I use public transport (buses or trolleybuses) almost every day to get to school and back. My parents drive a car, but I think public transport is better for the environment. (Я користуюся громадським транспортом (автобусами чи тролейбусами) майже щодня, щоб дістатися до школи та назад. Мої батьки водять машину, але я думаю, що громадський транспорт кращий для довкілля.)
2. Does your family recycle at home?
   Yes, we do. We have separate bins for plastic, paper, and glass. We try to recycle as much as we can. (Так. У нас є окремі контейнери для пластику, паперу та скла. Ми намагаємося переробляти якомога більше.)
3. Do you like spending time in natural areas?
   Yes, I love it. I really like going to the park or walking in the forest. It's quiet and the air is fresh. It's important to protect these areas. (Так, обожнюю. Мені дуже подобається ходити в парк або гуляти в лісі. Там тихо і свіже повітря. Важливо захищати ці території.)

The three Rs are: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. (Три R - це: Зменшуй, Використовуй повторно та Переробляй.)

Caring for our world (Турбота про наш світ)

Many countries have programmes to care for the environment, but ordinary people can also help in everyday ways. For example, we can follow the three Rs: reduce, reuse and recycle. We can also care for natural areas and teach others about environmental protection to keep our world clean, beautiful and healthy.

Reduce, reuse, recycle (Зменшуй, використовуй повторно, переробляй)

The first way to help the environment is to reduce any resources that you use. For example, you can turn off the water while brushing your teeth, and have a short shower instead of a long one.

Turning off lights and other electrical items when they aren't needed also saves energy. And eating less meat can help the environment too – it takes ten times more energy to produce beef compared with vegetables.

Perhaps the biggest change we can make is reducing how much plastic we use. Try to buy food that is not wrapped in plastic and buy a reusable bottle for water instead of buying water in plastic bottles.

We must also reuse things more often. For example, when we're going to the supermarket, we can take reusable bags. If we do that, we won't need plastic bags, which usually end up in the rubbish. Other things can also be reusable, such as batteries. If we use rechargeable batteries, we won't need new ones all the time. We can also sell or give away things that we don't want, like old clothes or books, so other people can reuse them.

The third rule is to recycle as much as possible. If we recycle paper and cardboard, we won't need to cut down so many trees. Many sorts of plastic, metal and glass are also recyclable. If we recycle these old materials, it will save resources and use less energy than creating new materials. Look out for recycling bins in your neighbourhood and separate materials correctly when you recycle.

Protect and teach (Захищай та навчай)

In addition to the three Rs, we need to care for natural spaces, such as parks. We should always throw paper, plastic and other litter into the correct rubbish bins. When we go camping, we mustn't feed any wild animals, such as ducks. We don't want them to follow people around for food. And if we make a fire to cook our food, we must be careful so we don't start any forest fires.

We can also inform other people about the need for environmental protection. We can make presentations at school and collect money for environmental organisations. Finally, we can celebrate special occasions about nature, such as Earth Day on 22nd April.
