Read these comments about the environment by two German
teenagers. How do Anke and Michael help the environment?
Complete the table in English.
Anke
In der achten Klasse haben meine Schulfreunde und ich jeden Samstag
Abfall in der Stadtmitte gesammelt. Dieses Jahr fahren meine Familie
und ich immer Rad, weil Autos so umweltfeindlich sind. Wenn ich älter
bin, werde ich nur mit dem Zug in den Urlaub fahren, um der Umwelt zu
helfen.
Michael
Wir sind dieses Jahr in die Großstadt umgezogen. Jetzt wohnen wir in
einer modernen Wohnung und haben eine umweltfreundliche Heizung.
Wir haben früher nichts für die Umwelt gemacht. Ab September werde
ich immer mit den öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln in die Schule fahren.
