17.On Saving
谈节约
As we know, when senior students graduate from school, most of their reference books as well as their text books which are still in good condition are thrown away. What a great waste it is! I suggest that we should recycle these books.
大家都知道,当高中生毕业的时候,他们的学习资料,还有课本大部分都扔掉了,其中好多都还可以用。这是多大的浪费呀!我建议我们应该回收这些书。
On the one hand, recycling them can save a lot of natural resources which can be reused to make textbooks. On the other hand, senior students may have made plenty of useful notes on the pages, they are very useful to the following users. At present, the whole nation is hold on to build an energy saving society.
一方面,回收这些书可以节约很多自然资源,这些资源可以被用来制做新的课本。另一方面,高中生很可能在书页上做了很多笔记,这些笔记对后面的使用者会很有帮助的。目前,我们都在号召建立节约型社会。
I think it is certaining meaningful to uur long term interests. In fact in Australia and some other countries, recycling textbooks is popular which gives us a good example.
我认为这对我们国家长远的利益具有相当的意义。事实上,在澳大利亚和一些其他的国家,回收课本已经是相当受大家欢迎的,这给我们树立了一个很好的榜样。
