Explanation

Read Read the following french text about Climate Change. Use the Key vocabulary list below to help you understand the text.

Key vocabulary

Le réchauffement de la terre = Global warming Le changement climatique = Climate change On doit faire = We must do … Quelque chose = something A la maison = at home On peut = you can Une douche = a shower L’eau = water Pour aller au college = To go to school À pied = on foot Je n’utilise pas = I do not use La voiture = the car

Dans le monde entier, il y une grande problème avec le réchauffement de la terre à cause du changement climatique. On doit faire quelque chose pour réduire ce problème immédiatement.

À la maison, on peut recycler du papier, du carton et de la vasse. Mais il n’est pas possible recycler de la plastique en ce moment. Aussi, on peut avoir une douche au lieu d’un bain pour garder de l’eau. Pour aller au collège, on peut aller à pied ou prendre des transports en commun (par exemple: le bus ou le train). On ne doit pas utiliser la voiture.
