When you watch TV and play video games, you make the environment worse! It may seem hard to believe, but when electricity is made, so are greenhouse gases (温室气体). This means that you use electricity you help make the global environment worse!

Cars are also making global warming worse, and send lots of greenhouse gases into the air. The global environment may be a big problem, but we can all . People can try to drive their cars less. You can also help! Why not try one of these top ideas?

ŸTry . Turn off lights, your television, and your computer when you've stopped using them.

ŸPlant trees. Not only is it a fun thing to do, but it is also a great way to lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air.

ŸDon't your rubbish, but try to recycle it. If rubbish is not recycled, it is put on the ground. There it rots (腐烂) and makes a greenhouse gas called methane(甲烷). So try to recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers.

They will make you ! And they will help the earth.

It is widely accepted that the television is playing an important part in people's lives. But there is a heated discussion about whether the television is good or bad for people.

The television keeps one learning more about present events, allows one to follow the most recent developments in politics and science, and offers various programs which are both instructive and exciting. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one's room or house.

However, some people insist that the television is bad rather than good. They argue that it has brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. Children are now used to getting their information and entertainment from the television, so their ability to read and write as well as physical ability has been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar (庸俗的) advertisements and poor programs may develop their bad taste and badly shape their viewpoints on human life.

In a word, the television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, the television itself is neither good nor bad.
