Good evening, everyone! Thanks for coming here to learn about our school’s recycling program. Now, let me introduce it to you. The recycling program has three parts: searching, collecting and carrying. The first part, searching, is the hardest one. As we know, most people don ’t like to sort rubbish. So most recycling programs finally failed. However, we’re sure that we will succeed.
There used to be the black dustbins all over the school. But from now on, you will see three kinds of different colored dustbins. White dustbins are for paper, blue dustbins are for bottles, and red dustbins are for all the other wastes. Just remember white-paper, blue-bottles, red-wastes. After the rubbish is collected, it needs to be taken to the recycling center.
To protect the environment is our duty. I am very glad that you can join us to be greener volunteers. Since all of us are students and need plenty of time to study, we ask for less than five hours each person every week. Your job is to collect all sorts of rubbish and take it to the different centers. At last, please write down your name and telephone number. Then we ’ll meet here on April 7th after school. Look forward to seeing you!

A new kind of plane — a solar-powered plane was invented by an American scientist. And it was tested in the US last week. The plane took off from an airport in Washington at a speed of 75km/h. It slowly rose above the land and flew into the sky. The plane finally climbed nearly 2km above the fields. The whole flight lasted for 90 minutes. During the whole flight, the plane made some turns. The plane is so big, but it is light and uses little energy. Engineers plan to test a night flight soon. They also plan to take the plane to travel around the world in 2016. They will make a few stops to rest after a long flying time and show their plane to the people. The plane will keep on flying in the air for more than five days at a time.

Good evening, everyone! Thanks for coming here to learn about our school’s recycling program. Now, let me introduce it to you. The recycling program has three parts: searching, collecting and carrying. The first part, searching, is the hardest one. As we know, most people don ’t like to sort rubbish. So most recycling programs finally failed. However, we’re sure that we will succeed.
There used to be the black dustbins all over the school. But from now on, you will see three kinds of different colored dustbins. White dustbins are for paper, blue dustbins are for bottles, and red dustbins are for all the other wastes. Just remember white-paper, blue-bottles, red-wastes. After the rubbish is collected, it needs to be taken to the recycling center.
To protect the environment is our duty. I am very glad that you can join us to be greener volunteers. Since all of us are students and need plenty of time to study, we ask for less than five hours each person every week. Your job is to collect all sorts of rubbish and take it to the different centers. At last, please write down your name and telephone number. Then we ’ll meet here on April 7th after school. Look forward to seeing you!

A new kind of plane — a solar-powered plane was invented by an American scientist. And it was tested in the US last week. The plane took off from an airport in Washington at a speed of 75km/h. It slowly rose above the land and flew into the sky. The plane finally climbed nearly 2km above the fields. The whole flight lasted for 90 minutes. During the whole flight, the plane made some turns. The plane is so big, but it is light and uses little energy. Engineers plan to test a night flight soon. They also plan to take the plane to travel around the world in 2016. They will make a few stops to rest after a long flying time and show their plane to the people. The plane will keep on flying in the air for more than five days at a time.
