crashed, download, logged on, network, password, plug, run, run out, save, surfed.

My dad told me a story about when he was travelling some time ago and was in an airport VIP lounge. He decided to use his laptop to do some work. There was a place to plug his laptop in but he didn’t have an adaptor with him, so he had to run the laptop on the battery.
Anyway, he switched the computer on and found there was a free Wi-Fi network so he got a user name and a password and logged on to the internet. He surfed the net for a while, and he found some interesting files connected to his work that he wanted to save onto his hard drive, So he started to download them. While that was going on, he went off to get something to drink.
When he came back, he found that his computer had crashed! The battery had run out, of course. And not only that — his plane was delayed for three hours and he couldn’t use his laptop any more

Interesting world around us

Global pollution

The world generates 2.01 billion tonnes of municipal solid waste annually, with at least 33 percent of that not managed in an environmentally safe manner. Worldwide, waste generated per person per day averages 0.74 kilogram. Waste is a significant global issue. Increasing volumes of waste are being generated as the global population and living standards rise. The environmental impact is significant․

Effects of waste dumping
1․Pollution of soil: Waste can leak hazardous chemicals into the soil and from there into our food.
2․Air pollution: The burning of waste at landfills release toxic substances into the air, including extremely poisoning dioxin.
3․Pollution of oceans: 13 million tonnes of plastic end up in the world’s oceans each year. If we keep dumping plastic in the oceans, by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the sea.
4․Pollution of groundwater: 280 billion tons of groundwater is being polluted every year — that’s 9000 tons every second.

Safeguard and Improve Your Environment

1. Watch the video at the top of the page.

2. Read the story «Safeguard and Improve Your Environment» just below it.

3. Do the exercises at the bottom of the page.

Here is the Safeguard and Improve Your Environment video. You can watch it in your own language at The Way to Happiness Foundation. (Simply click the word «language» at the top right corner of that page.) 

Now read the short story about this important principle.

Maggie and Alex live in a tall building in a neighborhood in the center of the city. There are no trees near their building, but they are happy in their home and it is close to their jobs.

In the part of the city where they live, there is not much fresh food to buy. The stores only have processed foods in packages. Maggie and Alex and all the other people in the building have to eat food that they buy in boxes and plastic containers.

This makes so much garbage that no one knows where to put it. While they wait for Fridays, when the city collects the garbage, all the neighbors put their trash into bags and sometimes leave it in the hallway or on the big, sunny roof. The whole building looks terrible. No one can spend time playing on the roof because it is full of trash.

One day, Maggie and Alex decide to make a change. They go up to the roof and separate all the recyclable garbage, like cardboard, plastic bottles, glass, and aluminum cans. Then they take all of the garbage down to the street for the garbage collectors.

But they do not carry down the plastic bottles! They cut off the tops and use them as pots to plant tomatoes and carrots. They plant herbs, too.

Their neighbors get very excited when Maggie and Alex tell them about their project. Whenever they have free time after work or on the weekends, all the neighbors go up to the roof. They enjoy the sun and help take care of the plants in the garden. They all cooperate, and by working together, they soon have a big, beautiful vegetable garden!

Now the roof looks beautiful, and everyone eats much healthier food. They spend time in their community garden, enjoy the sun, and create much less garbage. In fact, they even save money because they do not have to buy so much packaged food.

The garden is a real success, and the building in the center of the city is a much nicer place to live because of it. All of the neighbors safeguard their environment and improve it for themselves and for each other. 

And now, practice:
