Sometimes people call ours a “throwaway society”. That means that we’re always throwing away old things and buying new ones. Many times, you no longer need something, but someone else may just need to buy one. For example, if your baby doesn’t like his toy car any longer, why not give it to a nearly family who has a little kid? That’s one less plastic toy car that they need to buy. It’s also one less plastic toy that needs to be produced, packaged and shipped to the toy store.

Here are some other ways to help save resources (资源)for the society:

★Use the other side of the paper.

★Use rechargeable (可再充电的) batteries for your electric toys, MP3 players, cell phones, and cameras.

★ Choose reusable travel cups instead of disposable (一次性的) paper or plastic cups.

★Take your own cloth shopping bags when you go shopping.

★ Drink tap water instead of buying bottled water.

And there are some things you can exchange with your friends, for example, books, toys, even clothes. It's a way for everyone to get something new without spending any money and without throwing many things away.

In Canada you can find dogs, horses, etc., in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and think they are their good friends. Before they keep them at their houses, they take them to animal hospital to give them injection (注射) so that they won’t catch disease(疾病). They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every store. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food. When you visit people’s homes, they would be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them. You will also find almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody can kill any animals in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished（惩罚）.
Old people in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: their family tie is not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own career (事业), then the old will feel lonely. And pets can make them happy. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.

I am Jay from Zhuhai Sunshine Middle School. Recently, we carried out a survey on who we prefer to share worries with. We got different answers.
　　 Acording to the chart, those who would like to share their worries with their classmates and friends account for about 71%. It is mainly because they believe that if people are at the same age, they are easy to communicate and understand each other better.
　　About 22% of the students said they would like to share worries with their teachers and parents. According to them, adults are rich in experience, and that they can handle their problems easily. The rest prefer to keep worries to themselves. As for them, it’s a struggle to get along well with others, some of them said they didn’t want to trust anyone.
　　As far as I am concerned, I am willing to share worries with my best friends because they’re always kind and understanding. However, if I meet with some serious problems, I’ll be likely to ask my parents and teachers for help, who, I believe, have more experience to give me valuable advice.
