This is just a post to go over and summarize my notes taken in my lesson today with my Mandarin tutor.
Recall from memory the words and grammar learned:
塑料 = plastic
污染 = pollution
足够 = enough (adjective)
造成 = to cause something negative to happen
饮用水 = drinkable water
水龙头 = water tap
浪费 = waste
省吃俭用 = to live frugally
有朋自远方来,不亦乐呼 = having a friend from afar come to visit will make you happy
学有所成 = success in studying
Items I was unable to recall:
取之不尽 = inexhaustible
不堪设想 = too dreadful to imagine
主张 = to advocate
社会 = society
工厂 = factory
农场 = farm
人们 = people
普遍 = widespread
离开 = to leave
行为 = behavior
随手 = casually, as you go
流 = to flow
简直 = really (synonymous, but strong than 真的)
Free writing using the vocab and grammar as best I can:
现在的社会需要更重视环境保护。今天人们做很多污染。我们开汽车开得太多了, 用很多水, 和卖很多塑料的东西。人们因该主张更好环保行为。如果现在我们不开始,明天的环境没有饮用水, 好空气, 和好吃的食物。我觉得省吃俭用很难, 但是只好尝试。我们得变化行为。
I tried my best :D
