16、能源缺乏是個日益嚴重的社會問題，對此你有何感想？你認為我們可以怎樣在日常生活中節(jié)省能源？請你就此寫一篇短文。參考下列提示：

　　turn off the shower when washing your hair

　　repair leaky taps

　　take shorter showers

　　close the fridge door as soon as you can

　　use air conditioners less

　　ride a bicycle instead of driving a car or riding a bus

　　make the most of sunlight

　　Nowadays, the world is facing the big problem of energy shortages. The energy that we can use is running out day by day. Maybe one day we will all end up drinking dirty water if we don’t do anything about it. Here are some things that everyone can do to help save energy.

　　First, we must try not to use too much air conditioning during the summer months. That consumes a great deal of electricity. Second, we should try to remember to turn off the shower while washing our hair. Third, we must not let leaky taps run all day. Fix them as soon as possible. Also, try to close the fridge as soon as possible. This will save a lot of electricity and is good for the fridge as well. Another thing we can try is to ride our bicycles instead of driving cars or riding buses. They ‘drink’ lots of petrol, which comes from oil, a nonrenewable resource. Finally, don’t forget to turn off the lights when leaving a room. It doesn’t take much time but saves a lot of electricity.

　　I hope more and more people will realize the importance of energy saving and do what they can to use less so that life on Earth will be good in the future.

　　17、暑假將至，你打算去什么地方旅游呢？請你寫一段話，與大家分享你的暑假旅游計劃，并說明理由。

　　I’m very excited about the coming summer vacation. And I’ve made some plans about where to go. I love places that have beautiful views and nice weather. So first of all, I’m going to Jiuzhaigou, which is said to be a beautiful place with lots of fantastic lakes and friendly villagers. Besides, it’s cool in summer. I’ve seen many photos of the place and they make me believe this is my dream vacation spot. I’m sure I’ll have a great time there with my family. Then I’d love to go to Chengdu for a visit, too. Chengdu is famous for its delicious spicy food, which also happens to be my favourite. Also, Chengdu has some places of interest, like Dufucaotang and Wuhouci, and it is not far away from Jiuzhaigou. What do you think of my plans?

　　My best friend is Liu Yan. She’s 14 years old now. We have been friends since two years ago, when she first came to study in Beijing. Liu Yan is a beautiful girl. She has long hair and often puts it in a ponytail. Her height is medium, and she is neither heavy nor thin. She works very hard at school, so she always gets top marks on exams. Also, she has a very outgoing personality. I like to be with her because she often tells jokes to make me laugh. I really like friends who can bring me joy. I hope we can be friends forever.
