Why do we need to practise the three Rs?

An essay by Hồ Minh Châu

Environmental pollution is one of the hottest topics of debate nowadays. It’s almost caused by people’s behavior and the three Rs exist for that.

Firstly, we need to reuse things around us like a water bottle, a shopping bag or even an old book by giving them to the younger, we’ll save money and help some trees from being cut down.

Secondly, stop using plastic or nylon bags. It needs at least 400 to 1,000 years to be disposed of. Instead, we can use reusable bags or vacuum bottle cans also environmentally friendly and keep water cold from morning to night at the same time, it’s a great choice in this season. Besides single-use things, we need to reduce the use of electricity and water, too. Remember to turn off the light when you leave the room, close the fridge door, and don’t let the water run unless you really need to.

And last but not least, try to recycle something around you. You can turn a plastic bottle into a nice plant pot or a beautiful flower and animal. Let’s try and you’ll find it interesting.

It seems very easy but not everyone can do it. That’s why we need to promote the practice of the 3Rs and the harmful effects if we keep acting badly for the environment to everybody. Step by step, from the little things to the big things for our green, clean, and beautiful future.

Make Your Bed and Change the World!

I. Read the following lesson of Admiral William McRaven: Do you want to change your life and change the world to make it a better place? William McRaven is an admiral in the United States Navy and he has some good ideas about how to do this. He says don’t be afraid to try new things that are difficult. Also, he says never give up, never quit when something is difficult. Many people agree that these are very good ideas. But, Admiral McRaven also has another idea. His idea is very different. He says that you must make your bed every morning to change the world. He gives two reasons for this. First, after you make your bed you will want to do more work, and then more work … and then more work. This is important because you must do lots of work when you want to change the world. Second, sometimes work or school is not easy and you will feel bad – but when you come home and see a beautiful bed, you will feel happy. Then, when you are happy, you will not be afraid to try difficult thing...

A typical week of mine | Hồ Minh Châu

Every weekday morning, my alarm goes off at 7.30 am in the morning. It’s quite late because my school starts in the afternoon. Moreover, I’m a night owl so I prefer to do my work the previous evening instead of waiting until the next morning. My morning routine is very simple. After getting up, I go to the bathroom and have personal hygiene quickly by washing up and brushing my teeth. However, if the weather is hot, I’d like to take a shower early in the morning. After that, I go downstairs and have breakfast with my mom. My school life is quite pressured so after having breakfast, I go upstairs again and start doing my homework and preparing for my lessons in the afternoon. My school finishes at 5.15 pm. My mom usually picks me up because she also finishes her work at the same time. I sometimes help her with house chores when I have no extra classes to go to. In my family, every member shares the housework equally. I prefer to relax after having dinner to do my homework immediat...

WHY DOGS LIVE LESS THAN HUMAN!!!

Here's the surprising answer of a 6-year-old child. Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker‘s family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker’s transition without any difficulty or ...
