Homework

Retell in writing a dream you, or someone you know, can remember. Use beyween 120 and 180
words. In retelling this dream, try to answer the following questions:
- What happened the scene (when, where, why)?
- What happened (why)?
- How did it end?
- If possible, try to offer an interpretation of this dream.
The word dream is the most likely related to the West Germanic draugmus (meaning
deception, illusion or phantom) or from the Old Norse draugr (ghost) or the Sanskrit druh.
The dream can be a positive one or a nightmare. This word, nightmare derives from the AngloSaxon word mare, meaning demon which is related to the Sanskrit mara, meaning destroyer.
The quality of dreams depends, at least in part, on the stage of sleep in which the dreams occur.
Dreams during REM tend to be more bizzare and detailed and have story line. Dreams in stage one or two
of sleep are simpler and shorter. Deep-sleep dreams tend to be difused and may be about nothing more
than a color or emotion.
I will tell about my dream and Ill try to give an interpretation of it.
It is dark and stormy night. Im driving along a lonely road in the country.
Its windy and raining, lightning and thunder split the night. A tree falls across the road, crushing
the back of my car. I manage to open the door and get out and find myself frightened and alone. Im
soaking wet with nowhere to go. The storm gathers strength.
I start to wander along the road. Im in a strange place, nothing is familiar. I see a light on in a
house in the distance so I make my way along the road and up the drive away. I must be injued because I
have to crawl, actually drag myself forward. It takes a long time and Im filthy, cold and scared. I manage
to get to the steps of the porch but no further. I cant drag myself up the stairs.
I have no strength to call out for help. I feel as if all hope is gone. This is when I wake up.
Accident dreams represents my fears or my emotional state. Alternately, the accident may
symbolize an error or mistake I have made.
To see a falling tree means that Im feeling off balance and out of sync.
To dream that Im calling for help suggests that Im feeling lost and/or inadequate.

Answer the following questions in writing:

1. Why is it so important to protect the environment?

Like it or not, we all live on this planet. We are part of something bigger than ourselves; we are
part of the environment. We all breathe the same air and drink the same water. We all walk on the same
ground and experience the same sunshine and moonlight. Earth is something that we all have in common.
It is our home and we have to preserve it.
We should protect the environment because it will be beneficial for those who live in the Earth.
We need to save trees and keep the air clean to prevent global warning which could cause dangerous
weather patterns over the globe.
We must protect the environment, because we use energy which is everywhere. We use energy to
jump, walk and run. Also, the radiant energy from the sun enables the vegetables, plants, trees to live and
grow. We must protect the environment because of the big pollution which is caused when harmful and
poisonous substances are released or found in the air, rivers, seas, plant or even our bodies.
We cant live without food! Our food comes from all over the world the green beans might
come from Egypt, coffe maybe from Africa, perhaps bananas have travelled from Ecuador and apples
flew across the Pacific Ocean from New Zealand. All of these food miles amounts to a lot of transports
and them means fuel and fuel means pollution.
In this case, we must plant more vegetablr which have no insecticides and pesticides added to
them.

2. What will happen if forests continue to be damaged?

Rainforests represent a valuable and usually irreplaceable habitat for wildlife. But beyond that,
trees control erosion and soil runoff, provide a buffer against excessive evaporation, and return oxygen to
the atmosphere. The immediate effects of deforestation are loss of wildlife and of some soil and water
resources.
Many animals who make their homes in the forests will also disappear, and so will the animals
who feed on these animals. This devastation will travel all the way up the food chain. In addition, our
source for lumber will disappear.
First of all, all the plants and animals which depend completely on forests will become extinct.
Soil erosion will increase. More and more amount of the topsoil will be carried away by rain water.
There will be a considerable reduction in rainfall as forests both aid vapourization and attract clouds.
It is trees that absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Due to deforestation, there will be a significant
increase in the proportion of carbon dioxide in the air and a significant decrease in the proportion of
oxygen.

There

will

be

no

more

wood

available

for

making of

furniture

and

paper.

Many medicinal plants will become extinct. This will have a big impact on the pharmaceutical industry.

3. What materials can be recycled?

Recycling is a way to convert discarded items into new goods. Not everything can be recycled (yet),
but you should be able to find recycling facilities for these six main categories of household waste:
Most household glass can be recycled over and over again; just rinse or wash out the container and
recycle. Glass is one of the easiest materials to recycle, so buy products packaged in glass if you can.
Some glass items, such as car windshields, cooking dishes, and light bulbs, aren't usually accepted by
local recycling systems, so check with your local government's waste office to find out how to recycle
these items.
Metal food and drink cans made from aluminum or steel are recyclable, and aluminum cans in
particular are very valuable. You can even recycle used aluminum foil; just be sure cans and foil are
clean.

Some recyclers include organic materials, such as yard and kitchen waste, in their regular
services, whereas others offer seasonal organics recycling, such as Christmas tree drop-off locations after
the holiday season.
Nearly every paper item is recyclable, though you should check with your local recycling service
provider before you bring in your milk and juice cartons. These cartons are made of cardboard
sandwiched between very thin layers of plastic, so not all the material is recyclable and not all centers
accept them. If you have a garden, you can recycle your own paper in your compost pile.
Each plastic product has a Plastic Identification Code - a triangle with a number from 1 to 7
inside - usually on the bottom. Most recycling services accept plastics with codes 1 or 2, which include
beverage bottles and containers used for milk, juice, and body-care products.
Many charitable and nonprofit organizations operate drop-off points for textiles like clothes and
shoes. You usually find these sites in supermarket parking lots and in the organizations' own business
locations. What the groups can't reuse they generally sell to private firms that deal in textiles.
4. How can individuals cut down on household waste?
Recycling if a very important step towards protecting and preserving our planet, and anything you
recycle will be reused, so you can stop thinking of it as waste. Try having separate trash cans in your
house; one for paper and cardboard, one for plastic, one for metal and one for food waste. Just a simple
step like this makes a huge difference, and lets your children learn about the steps of recycling too.
When you go to the supermarket to buy your weekly shop, be sure to take your reusable bags for
life with you. By doing this youll be avoiding the waste of all those little plastic bags which youd be
using otherwise. Next, try and use little baskets or papers bags for bagging your vegetables and fruit, this
will save you throwing away the disposable clear plastics bags.
With items like washing detergent, shampoo, toilet roll, etc try and buy them in bulk. Dont
worry if buying in bulk costs you more because it will last much longer than buying some every week and
will save on waste hugely. By purchasing one large packet of 24 toilet rolls, you are saving the waste of
buying little packets of 4 every week.
Instead of going through a roll of kitchen towel every week but some kitchen cloths instead.
You can wash them quickly and easily and it saves on so much paper and waste.

If you have old magazines that need chucking away, old toys, clothes or even shoes check the
condition of them before you throw them out. If the quality is still good and youve simply outgrown
them, then why not hand them over to a local charity shop or hospital? Places like this always welcome
donations and youll feel great for doing your part.

5. What measures should the government take to reduce pollution?

Every action or inaction of any person in regard to her or his surroundings has an effect- be it good,
neutral or bad- on the environment. Nature already provides for our needs.Whatever we do to it gets back
to us. If we are friends of the earth, it will also be friendly to us. By becoming aware and doing the right
action, we choose to be part of the solution. What comes to mind now to serve as reminders include the
following:

Stop smoking or at least follow the No Smoking sign.

Use unleaded gasoline in your cars.

Keep your car properly maintained to keep it in good running condition to avoid smoke emissions.

Share a ride or engage in car pooling.

Instead of using your cars, choose to walk or ride a bicycle whenever possible. With this ecofriendly practice, you will also be healthier and happier by staying fit.

Never use open fires to dispose of wastes.

Adopt the 3Rs of solid waste management: reduce, reuse and recycle. Inorganic materials such as
metals, glass and plastic; also organic materials like paper, can be reclaimed and recycled. This
takes into account that the proven solution to the problem of proper waste management (especially
in third world countries) is proper disposal (in waste bins for collection and not in the street where it
could fall into drains), waste segregation and collection, and recycling.

Start composting brown leaves in your yard and green scraps from your kitchen. It will reduce waste
while improving your yard and garden soils.

Reconnect with nature. Live green by using green power supplied abundantly and freely by wind
and the sun. Hang your laundry to dry to minimize use of gas or electricity from your dryers. Enjoy
fresh air from open windows to lessen the use of air conditioning system.

Patronize local foods and goods. In this manner, transporting goods and foods prepared with GMOs
which uses fuel from conventional energy sources will be minimized.

Use eco-friendly or biodegradable materials instead of plastic which are made up of highly toxic
substances injurious to your health.

Create your green space. Value your garden. Plant more trees and put indoor plants in your
homes.They clean the air, provide oxygen and beautify your surrounding. Thus, care for them and
by protecting them, especially the big trees around and in the forest, you protect yourself and your
family, too.

Have a proper waste disposal system especially for toxic wastes

Take very good care of your pets and their wastes.

Never throw, run or drain or dispose into the water, air, or land any substance in solid, liquid or
gaseous form that shall cause pollution.

Do not cause loud noises and unwanted sounds to avoid noise pollution.

Do not litter in public places. Anti-litter campaigns can educate the populace.

Industries should use fuel with lower sulphur content.

Industries should monitor their air emissions regularly and take measures to ensure compliance with
the prescribed emission standards.

Industries should strictly follow applicable government regulations on pollution control.

Organic waste should be dumped in places far from residential areas.

Say a big "NO" to GMOs or genetically modified organisms. Genetically engineered crops are not
only bad for the environment since they require massive amount of fungicides, pesticides, and
herbicides; but GMO altered foods are also health risks and negatively impact farmers' livelihood.
