Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.
POWERING OUR WORLD
Energy is very important for our daily lives. There are two main types of energy sources: renewable and non-renewable. Sources like coal and oil are non-renewable, which means they will finish one day. On the other hand, solar and wind power are renewable because they run out. These green sources are better for the environment because they do not produce much pollution. However, installing solar panels can be at first, so many people still use old energy types.
It is important for everyone to learn how to energy at home. For example, you should always off the lights when you leave a room. If we use energy , we can reduce our monthly bills and protect our planet for the future at the same time.
