sustainable

Script:

Mom: Hey Noah, would you like some beef stew for dinner tonight?

Noah: Can we have something else? I'm thinking of cutting down on my meat consumption, specifically beef.

Mom: Why do you want to do that?

Noah: Beef production has negative impacts on our environment and I want to be more responsible with my choices.

Mom: How can cows harm the environment?

Noah: A result of cows' digestive process is methane. It’s a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.

Mom: I didn't know that.

Noah: The production of beef also indirectly leads to deforestation. To meet the increasing global demand for meat, forests are being cut down to make space for cattle farms.

Mom: You're a teenager, Noah. You need all the nutrients to support your growing body and that includes protein.

Noah: There are other high-protein foods that require fewer resources to produce. I can replace meat with fish or plant-based foods like soya, and peanuts.

Mom: You mean everyone should cut out meat from their diet?

Noah: Not really, mom. There are a lot of sustainable farming techniques so we should buy meat from companies that value our environment.

Mom: OK, I see.

Sample writing

An extended family consists of multiple generations living together. It can include grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins... Like many Asian people, I've lived with my extended family since I was born. My grandparents, my parents, and I make up our family. I think living in an extended family is better. The economic benefit of sharing the same roof is significant. With the expensive housing market, living together can help you save money. In addition, living with many relatives also lightens the load of the household chores. Everyone can share and help each other with tasks around the house. For me, the experience of living with my extended family strengthens our relationships. I often confide in my grandfather about my worries and troubles; in return, he gives me valuable advice. It's true we can get into arguments sometimes because of many different views, but I think it makes us closer and more understanding.
