You have 30 minutes to do this task. You have received a letter from your English-speaking pen friend, Ben.
| …Yesterday was a special day — we had the Earth Hour. My town (and lots of towns around) went dark for one hour. It’s one of the ideas of an ecological group called the Green Movement. We switched off the lights to draw people’s attention to the poor ecological situation on the planet… …Do people have the Earth Hour in your country? What can people do to save energy in their everyday life? Do you approve of the Green Movement, why? |

Dear Ben,
Thanks for your last letter, and sorry I couldn’t answer you earlier.
It’s great that your town is practicing the Earth Hour, because in Russia nobody does it. Actually our government is effortless in the questions of ecology. Unfortunately it is true. But some people including me are doing forces to save the energy. There are few tips to save the waste of energy in everyday life: You can do it by turning down the thermostat, decreasing the hot water temperature, using energy-efficient appliances or by washing economically. I totally agree with the Green Movement because they are caring about the future of our planet.
Write back soon.
Best wishes,
Nick
