Issue: Mobile phones
Actually, many students always are with their mobile phones unless if they are at the school.
So, for that, I made a questionnaire for them:
1.- Why are you using it at the school?
2.- Do you think that the mobile phone can be bad for you?
3.- Do you know that use it here is prohibited?
4.- Do you use it to make photos to your partners?
I'm interested in this issue because I see that the people use that and I think that sometimes, they are losting their time.
My conclusion is that you can use it to find some information that you probably don't know.

TITLE: Unit 6 test Speaking task 

ME AND THE ENVIRONMENT

DEADLINE: 2 April at 10.00 pm

INSTRUCTIONS: 

The aim of this essay is to put in writing my reflection about the actions I normally do that may be detrimental to the environment and that I may change in the future:

A. Classify in the right column all the actions that you do that involve using energy:

 Actions that I have to do                                  

 whatever the amount of energy involved         

Actions that I have to do
 but could be done using less energy

Actions that I do                                                     

but I could eliminate if I wanted to       

 Really silly actions that I do 
 that involve wasting energy          

 and that I must eliminate asap

B. WRITE  an essay expressing what you have found about your use of energy and how you could change your habits to reduce the impact on the environment:

Start like this: AFTER DUE CONSIDERATION to the issue proposed by the teacher, this is what I have found and what I intend to do in the future ................................................................

................................................................................................................................................................

 (The essay should be at least 150 words long)

Then, .....

1. UPLOAD a copy on your blog.
2. Make a RECORDING of it and send it to me at ...

A) Classify in the right column all the actions that you do that involve using energy:

1. Actions that I have to do                                  
    whatever the amount of energy involved: Turn on the lights, cook, open the tap, wash the clothes and the dishes, charge the electronics appliances.
2. Actions that I have to do
    but could be done using less energy: Close the tap when I am brushing my teeth, turn off the lights when we have sun lights
3. Actions that I do but I could eliminate if I wanted to: Dry the clothes in the dryer
4. Really silly actions that I do that involve wasting energy and that I must eliminate asap: let the TV on when I go to sleep

B) WRITE  an essay expressing what you have found about your use of energy and how you could change your habits to reduce the impact on the environment:

After due consideration to the issue proposed by the teacher, this is what I have found and what I intend to do in the future:
I will try to turn off all the lights when I leave the rooms and unplug the charger of my mobile phone, television and other electronics appliances when I am not using them. Like the tap, I will close it when I am soaping or when I am brushing my teeth. I think we could do all of this that I have mention before. Then, we would save a lot of money and it would even be reflected in the bills that we have to pay and in the environment.
In conclusion, some more ideas that I propose are drive less, in other words use more public transport, save hot water and prevent use so much packing because it isn't necessary.
That it's all, I hope in the future we will get a world cleaner and safer for the interest of all the leaving being.
