 and that I must eliminate asap

B. WRITE  an essay expressing what you have found about your use of energy and how you could change your habits to reduce the impact on the environment:


Start like this: AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION to the issue proposed by the teacher, this is what I have found and what I intend to do in the future.
In my opinion my carbon footprint is low because of some things I do but, it could be better.
Firstly, I always switch the lights off when I go out from the room and it's very good to save energy. Another interesting thing I do is putting freeze thing in the fridge to disfreeze them slowly and saving energy.

By the other hand, I do some things that I will change. For example I use the elevator every day three or four times to go up to my house because I live in a fourth and I am very lazy. The other example I will change is to switch the lights off when there is enough bright of the sun, because I use it every day.

In conclusion, I think that my carbon footprint is good but I promise I will improve it because I do some wasting things.

Nowadays astronomers and scientists are finding new planets and new solar systems. Maybe in one of this planets are people living or some living beings.
Last week I saw on the TV that it has been found seven new planets similar to the Earth and, why they can't have life?

In my opinion the Universe is enormous and in some place there can be a planet with water and some living beings. That is not impossible because in Mars it is demostrated that there are rests of water and with water there are bacterias.
I think that this living things are bacterias and unicelular living beings.

To conclude, I think that there are life in the other planet because the Universe is very big and obviously there are a planet with water or with an atmosphere.
