听下面一段独白,回答第11至第15五个小题。

I'm a fan of environmental protection. I take part in Earth Hour every year on April 22nd. People usually turn off the lights for an hour to celebrate Earth Hour. However, it's never boring. People don't just stay at home in the dark. Instead, they get together in groups and have fun without lights. Things like dancing and singing are popular. Last year, my school had an outdoor cinema on my school playground. We all had to ride bikes to keep the film going. If someone stopped, the screen would turn off. Luckily, all of us helped keep the movie going. Everyone had a lot of fun in the activity.

Do you want to be a greener person? If you do, please follow these suggestions. Firstly, ride your bike to school if you don't live far away from your school. It's good exercise, too. Secondly, after you wash the clothes, you can use the waste water to clean the floor. It can help save water. Thirdly, take your drinking bottle with you everywhere you go. Don't use single-use cups.
