(On the street)
Kevin: Could you help me throw away the garbage?
Ethan: Sure! Wait a second! There's a hamburger box inside the bag. Let's take it out.
Kevin: OK. You're like my mom; she makes me sort everything.
Ethan: Well...my mom has me bring a shopping bag. She doesn't let me use any plastic bags.
Amy: My mom doesn't, either. Our mothers are trying to be green. Using your own shopping bag helps reduce trash.
Kevin: Be green? Does it mean doing good things for our earth?
Amy: You got it.
(Today is April 22, Earth Day.)
Ms. Chen: Our earth is in trouble, everyone. We must do something to save it now, or it will be too late. What should we do?
Kevin: We should make it a habit to use our own shopping bags.
Ms. Chen: That's good. Anything else?
Patty: We have to sort our trash.
Ethan: Use water more wisely. This way, we save more water.
Amy: Drive less often, and try to take a bus or the MRT.
Ms. Chen: Those are very good ideas. But please keep this in mind: Actions speak louder than words.
Students: Yes, Ms. Chen.
（在街上）
凱文：你可以幫我丟垃圾嗎？
伊森：好啊!等一下!袋子裡有個漢堡盒。我們把它拿出來吧。
凱文：好的。你跟我媽好像；她要我把所有東西都分類好。
伊森：嗯⋯我媽要我帶購物袋。她不讓我用任何塑膠袋。
艾美：我媽也不讓我用。我們的媽媽都試著要做環保。使用你們自己的購物袋有助於減少垃圾。
凱文：做環保？意思是對我們的地球做些有益的事嗎？
艾美：你說對了。
（今天是四月二十二日，世界地球日。）
陳老師：各位，我們的地球有麻煩了。我們必須做些什麼來拯救它，否則就太遲了。我們應該做什麼呢？
凱文：我們應該要養成使用自己購物袋的習慣。
陳老師：很好。有其他作法嗎？
派蒂：我們應該要分類垃圾。
伊森：更明智地用水。如此一來，我們就可以節省更多水。
艾美：少開車，並試著搭乘公車或捷運。
陳老師：那些都是很好的想法。但請記住：坐而言不如起而行。
學生們：是的，陳老師。
