Yep, I'm here again!
Today we will try our writing skills. I know writing is challenging but if you follow the steps you will come up with something cool and you will feel proud of yourself ;)
1. Read the explanation.
The editor of your English school magazine needs contributions for a campaign about protecting the environment. Write an article for the magazine to explain how people can protect the environment.
MAIN PARTS OF A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE:
I. Lead sentence
Grab and hook your reader right away.
II. Introduction
Which facts and figures will ground your story? You have to tell your readers where and when this story is happening.
III. Opening quotation
What will give the reader a sense of the people involved and what they are thinking?
IV. Main body
What is at the heart of your story?
V. Closing quotation
Find something that sums the article up in a few words.
VI. Conclusion (optional—the closing quote may do the job)
What is memorable? The end quote sums things up. You can also end your story with a link to more information.
These cues may help you:
Planting trees – Creating green areas for children – Cleaning streets – Reducing pollution (Water/air) – Avoiding using cars during the weekend – Recycling paper and plastic bottles, etc
Example:
We all are aware of the need to protect the environment. Despite this, not many of us are really taking steps to reduce our impact on the planet, we’re mostly too busy or too lazy to put up big change that would improve our lifestyle and save the environment. As individuals, we may help our environment and help in reducing pollution by paying attention to some important points in our daily life.
We should utilize the electricity effectively and wisely to help the government. Turning lights off when we’re not in the room can save a lot of energy. Also, we can only use the air conditioning or heater when necessary.
Vehicles are one of the major source of air pollution. Using public transportation, walking and biking are all great ways to clean the air.
Packaging is a big problem for the environment because once the product is open we don’t need it and it’s thrown out or recycled. So we can avoid buying products that have a lot of paper and plastic around them.
Planting trees is a must if we want to save our planet. Trees not only remove chemicals from the soil, but also help reduce causes of the global warming.
It’s time to take action to protect our environment by making simple lifestyle changes.
