• 4．Waste is very serious in the school.Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.They say they have enough money to buy these things.But I don't agree with them.
     Waste can bring a lot of problems.Although China is rich in some resources（資源），we are short of others，for example，fresh water.It is reported that we will have no coal（煤） or oil to use in 100 years.So if we go on wasting our resources，what can we use in the future and where can we move？Think about it.I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day.Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
     In our everyday life，we can do many things to stop waste from happening，for example，turn off the water taps（水龍頭） when we finish washing，turn off the lights when we leave the classroom，try not to order more food than we need，and so on.Little by little，everything will be better.We stop the waste one day if we do our best!

  in the school.
