Dear Mom and Dad,

I will go to Alice’s home with her after school, and I will have supper and sleep there. Don’t    21    about me. You know that Alice is one of my    22   friends. If you want to talk with me, you can    23    68610598 after 6:00 pm.

Please forgive me for not telling you first. I don’t think you will    24  me to do so if I tell you first.   25   I think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends’ houses sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I’m not a little kid    26  . I hope I can make decisions for    27   .

At home, there are too many   28   for me to obey: Don’t stay out so    29   ; don’t have meals before    30    hands; don’t watch TV without finishing homework, etc. Parents should be    31    teenagers, but we need freedom, too.

I don’t like doing my homework    32    at home. I’d love to study    33    Alice. We can learn a lot from each other.    34    please allow me to stay at Alice’s house once a week. If you    35   , Alice can stay at our house with me, too.

                                                                                        Yours,

Lillian

1Climate is the average weather usually taken over a 30-year time period for a particular region and time period. Climate is not the same as weather, but rather, it is the average pattern of weather for a particular region. Weather describes the short-term state of the atmosphere (大氣).

The climate is changing. Many agreed that climate change may be one of the greatest threats (威脅) facing the planet. Recent years show increasing temperatures in various regions, and/or increasing extremities (極端性) in weather patterns.

Is the Earth getting warmer? Yes! The Earth has warmed by about 1°F over the past 100 years. But why? Well, scientists are not exactly sure. The Earth could be getting warmer on its own, but many of the world’s leading climate scientists think that things people do are helping to make the Earth warmer.

Global Warming may be a big problem, but can you make a difference? Yes! There are several little things you can do to make a difference. Try carpooling. This will help reduce the amount of fossil fuels going into the atmosphere. Whenever you use electricity, you help put greenhouse gases into the air. Turn off lights, the television, and the computer when you are through with them. Also, planting trees is fun and a great way to reduce greenhouse gases. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, from the air. Finally, don’t forget about recycling.
