「翰林八年級下學期Unit 5: She Makes Me Sort Trash」- Dialogue

(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: Your mother is 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：你可以幫我把垃圾丟掉嗎？
伊森：當然!等一下!袋子裡有一個漢堡盒。我們把它拿出來。
凱文：好。你好像我媽；她什麼都要我分類。
伊森：嗯...我媽要我帶著購物袋。她不讓我用塑膠袋。
艾美：你媽媽正試著綠能環保。使用你自己的購物袋有助減少垃圾。
凱文：綠能環保？意思是為我們的地球做有益的事嗎？
艾美：沒錯。

（今天是四月二十二日，地球日。）
陳老師：各位，我們的地球有難。我們現在必須做些事來拯救它，否則就太遲了。我們應該做什麼呢？
凱文：我們應該養成習慣用我們自己的購物袋。
陳老師：很好。還有其它的嗎？
佩蒂：我們必須分類垃圾。
伊森：聰明地用水。這麼一來，我們省下更多水。
艾美：少開車，盡量搭公車或捷運。
陳老師：那些都是很好的想法。不過請記住這句話：坐而言不如起而行。
學生們：是，陳老師。
