Warming up
What do you know about this country?
Switzerland is a beautiful country with high mountains and clean blue lakes.
Kitty's online friend Martina is a middle school student in Switzerland. She's writing in her blog on World Environment Day. Read the article and find out more information about Switzerland.
Read the article quickly and answer the question.
When's World Environment Day?
  World Environment Day is on 5 June.
                              Green Switzerland
I love Switzerland. It is a country with high mountains and clean, blue lakes. It is beautiful, and we should try to keep it that way.
In Switzerland, things like glass, plastic and paper are separated into different groups and then recycled. Even old clothes and shoes can be recycled! I learnt about an organization for recycling clothes. It collects old clothes from all over the country. Some of the clothes are sold in charity shops, some are given to the poor, and others are sent to factories for recycling. My family and I often send our old jeans and T-shirts to this organization.
Our government has many laws to protect the environment. For example, we are not allowed to cut down trees. Otherwise, we will be punished. If we drop litter in a public place, we will be fined by the police.
There are also laws to limit air and water pollution. Nature is our greatest treasure. We depend on its rich resources to live, so it is important for us to protect it wisely. Luckily, we are starting to use energy from the sun, wind and water. These new types of energy cost very little and will never run out. Moreover, they produce little pollution.
Today is 5 June, World Environment Day. What have you done for the environment? Remember that everyone can do something to make a difference!
Read the first paragraph carefully and answer the questions.
1. What is Switzerland like?
2. What do people there try to do?
Read the paragraphs 2 and 3 carefully and answer the questions.

Read the paragraphs 4 and 5 carefully and answer the questions.
