- T confirms and leads in. T-S
Answers:
- In Picture a, a man goes shopping with lots of
plastic bags. It doesn’t show a green lifestyle.
Plastic bags pollute the environment since they take
time to decay.
- In Picture b, we can see fresh food, which looks
organic and is better for our health. It shows a
green lifestyle.
- In Picture c, we can see a lot of litter on the
ground. Dropping litter makes the streets very dirty
and pollutes the air and water. It doesn’t show a
green lifestyle.
- In Picture d, the sign advises people to turn off
lights when they are not in use. This can save
electricity and show a green lifestyle.

words/phrases friendly.
in context. - Ss compare the answers and discuss the hints for S-S
each option in groups.

Key:
In my/ our opinion, turning off household
appliances when they are not in use is the easiest
way to live green because we can do this right at
home. We don’t need any equipment or training for
this.
