Unit 2 - Đọc hiểu & Từ vựng: Humans and the environment

Read the following passage then do the tasks below.

In today's world, protecting the environment has become more important than ever. As students, we have a responsibility to take care of the planet we live on.

There are several ways in which we can help to protect the environment, starting with being more mindful of our energy usage. By turning off electrical appliances when not in use, using energy-efficient light bulbs and using natural light as much as possible, we can significantly reduce our energy consumption as well as our carbon footprint.

Using organic products is another way to protect the environment. Chemicals found in cleaning products, personal care items, and even food can harm the environment and our health. By using eco-friendly, organic products, we reduce the amount of harmful chemicals that enter our environment and support sustainable agriculture.

Additionally, we should adopt a sustainable lifestyle by starting with small steps such as reducing plastic usage, recycling, and using public transport. Moreover, we can also participate in activities such as planting trees, cleaning up local beaches, and organizing eco-friendly events in our community. This can promote people’s awareness of environmental issues.

Ultimately, by taking small actions in our daily lives, we students can make a positive impact and help ensure a more sustainable future for ourselves and generations to come.
