More and more students from the school have taken part in environmental projects, such as tree planting and improving the school grounds. But, no matter how much we do, there’s always more that can be (27) to improve the place where we live. This year students from the Conservation Club plan to work with local people to make a community garden near the school. As Tim, a student, says: “Noone (28) to live in an unattractive area. If we work together, we can turn these areas into spaces that we can enjoy (29) time in.” This kind of local action is not just about the environment. It also helps people get to know (30) neighbors and it can help build stronger communities. If you care (31) the state of your town, and you are interested in taking part in the project, please contact the school for further information.

The thing I like most about living on a farm when I was small was the change of seasons spring summer, autumn and winter. I could see the change all come and go and each one was completely different. If I hadn't been born and raised in the country, I would have never been able to tell the difference. Now in the city, you can buy summer flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country I could only eat things at certain times of the year. For example, strawberries in June and tulips in winter lived my childhood with the seasons.
Also we made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it must be better than the type of food I am taking now in the city, City people think that people in the country miss a lot of good things about modern life, but in my opinion they miss a lot more than them. They miss real life.
