A
Marco Polo, the famous Italian
traveler, traveled a long way to China in the
13
th
century. During his stay in
China, he saw many wonderful things. One of
the things he discovered was that the Chinese used
paper money.
In Western countries, people
didn’t use paper money until 15
th
century.
However, people in China began to
use paper
money in the 7
th
century.
A Chinese
man called CaiLun invented paper almost 2,OOOyears
ago. He put these pieces of paper together
and
made them in a book.
Now paper comes from
trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep
on wasting so much paper, there will
not be
any trees left on the earth. If there are no
trees, there will be no paper. So how can we save
paper? We
can use both sides of every piece of
paper, especially when we are making notes. We can
choose drinking in
bottles instead of those in
paper packets. We can also use handkerchiefs and
not paper ones. When we go
shopping, we can
use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does
give you a paper bag, we can save it and
reuse
it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If
we all think carefully, we can help protect tress.
We should do it now,
before it is too late.

Last Tuesday after school I went to see
Andrew’s new house. He lived in an apartment not
far from our school.
There was a beautiful
garden with a lot of trees and flowers across from
the apartment building. We walked to
the third
floor and Andrew opened the door with the key
around his neck. As we came into the living room
we
took off our hats and jackets. The living
room was not large but the blue wallpaper made it
seem bigger than it
was. I saw a big bookcase
next to the sofa, a mirror and three pictures on
the walls. I looked at the clock on the
wall.
It said four o’clock.

room, which was behind the living room and next to
his parents’ room. There
was a wardrobe near
the window and next to it was his desk with a lot
of exercise books on it. There was
nothing in
the middle of the room, and we could even play
games with a ball there. I liked Andrew’s chair
very
much. It was near the door and was very
large and nice.
Andrew’s mother wasn’t at
home. We went into the kitchen to have dinner. We
warmed the soup and
took some cold meat and
vegetables from the fridge. There was some bread
on the dining table and we had it
with milk.

after the meal. At half past six I left. I think
