A. Classify in the right column all the actions that you do that involve using energy:

 Actions that I have to do                                     Switch off the lights when I go

 whatever the amount of energy involved            out from any room

Actions that I have to do                                      Put freeze things in the fridge to
 but could be done using less energy                   disfreeze them

Actions that I do                                                   Go up to my house without  

but I could eliminate if I wanted to                      using the elevator

 Really silly actions that I do                                Switch the lights on at the
 that involve wasting energy                                moorning

 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.
