Dear students,
In order to raise our awareness of environmental protection, our school will hold an activity whose theme
is“Let’ s go green now”.
There are many things we can do to embrace a green lifestyle. First of all, use cloth bags instead of plastic
ones when go shopping, which can help reduce white pollution. Besides, recycling everything useful is also a
good idea to turn trash into treasure. What's more, turning off lights and appliances when they are not in use
is of great importance to reduce our carbon footprint.
In a word, only when we make joint efforts can we make the earth a better place to live in. Even the
simplest everyday activities can make a difference. Let's take action immediately!

“I will take care of you.” I murmured, making my promise to him. Over the following days, my daily routine
revolved around this tiny and fragile creature. I searched the Internet for the tips on caring an injured finch,
carefully following every piece of advice. With each day passing, the little thing grew stronger, his broken wing
healing, his eyes now gleaming with curiosity and his chirp livelier than before. Meanwhile, our bond also
deepened — I could almost understand his chirps and he would hop on my hand and perched on my shoulder.
One day, while feeding him as usual, I captured the lovely moment with my camera.
While staring at the photos, I felt a sense of joy and fulfillment. I decided to document the charming
aspects of my feathery friend and our unique life here in Ghana. As I recorded and shared our story with the
world, it was well-received and soon went viral. Numerous followers wrote to me, eager to know more about
our story. Never in my wildest dream had I thoughtx. that I would reconnect with the world in this way. I
regained the passion for life. Months later, this adorable finch totally recovered and I returned him to nature.
But this unexpected encounter remained a turning point in my life, helping me find= purpose, joy and a renewed
sense of self.
