　　托福话题示范回答

　　What can we do to improve the environment?

　　Sample Answer

　　What we can do, first of all, to save the environment is to change our daily routine,a little bit. Take less baths; take more showers. Make sure that you turn off the tap water, when you are brushing your teeth or, when you’re cleaning the dishes. Make sure that you don’t use too much. You should turn off the light.You can also take public transportation. Instead of taking a vehicle, because with public transportation everyone is polluting together, rather than polluting apart. You can ride your bicycle. I think that its all about every little act every day. A small act everyday. That will help. And I think that if we all do that and participate in a certain way. We can gradually help the environment to change. But, it is also about education. The individual’s role is to make little acts and changes in their routines. But the government’s role is to educate its people, so that they know what to do.
