Our school building was very old. It was repaired from time to time so that it could look better.
However, the toilets (厕所)1the same.
One day, the teachers decided that the toilets needed a makeover ( 翻新), 2 it would be expensive. They came up with a great idea- Making it a school-wide3for students. Each class would pick three students. These students would be grouped according to the grade and they would design (设计) and 4the toilet on each floor. I was chosen to join the fourth grade team.
At the beginning, there were disagreements (分歧) among our group members. Each person had an idea of 5 to do. Someone wanted to make the wall6the seaside. Someone else wanted to paint it with stars. Another person wanted to paint it with cartoon characters. We got so7 that we stopped talking to each other. It seemed we were8going to get it done.
Finally, though, one member thought of a 9 idea. Each cubicle (小隔间) would have a different theme (主题)so that10 thought would be given up. And the11of the toilet would be painted in rainbow (彩虹) colours. Everybody thought the12was good. Finally, we managed to start painting the toilet.
When we finished, we were all happy. Everyone said the toilet on our floor looked amazing. What was even13was that our teachers praised(表扬) us for how we had14the disagreements among us and come up with a whole new idea. We ourselves were quite happy with our work, too, Most 15, we had learnt the meaning of teamwork.
We all need a healthy environment, but we throw away (吨) of rubbish every year. If we want to do something for our grandsons and (外孙女), we have to (减少), reuse and recycle. The first (步骤) is to use less. Do not waste things. Do not order more food than you can eat. The second is to use things for as long as possible. You can look after them so that they will last. (修理) them if possible. It is better to use china cups and (布) bags because they can be used many times. The third one is recycling. Although it takes (能量)to change things into something else, it is better than, throwing things away or (燃烧) them. Divide your rubbish into (塑料), glass, paper and rubber. Then, develop a recycling (政 策) for the whole community. If we follow the above ways, we can make a great difference to the environment.
I believe there are many things that we can do to make life in our town a lot better for teenagers.
First of all, I think more bike lanes should (build). A lot of teenagers in my town bike everywhere, it's very dangerous because there is a lot of traffic. If there are more bike lanes in the future, it will be much (safe) for them.
(two), I believe that we need more places for teenagers to go to my opinion, teenagers won't cause problems in the street if there are more places for them to go to. So they need more (club) and other places where they can meet.
Thirdly, teenagers here need more sports facilities. There (be) places to play ball games so far like tennis and basketball, but what about other sports, skating, and rollerblading?
Finally, I'm sure, we'll make the town better we don't drop litter. If we all do something (help) now, our town will be much better for everyone in the future.
