Reply There is an old American saying， "Loose lips sink ships. "This means that if you speak too much about something，especially to people who you don't know so well，it'll cause all kinds of trouble.Maybe now you're in this situation.Forget all these unhappy things. Like 13 |

Reply Perhaps most importantly，think about your own behaviour.When filled with anger，you would say whatever comes to your mind.You might hurt others.Take a deep breath，calm down，and always remember：think first，speak later. Like 11 |

Reply In my view（观点），you should do what your parents ask.They're much older than you and you should respect them.It's their house you live in and their money you spend! Like 10 |

Reply Here's what you need to do.First，apologise to your teammate.Have a chat with him，and tell him directly and honestly that you were talking without thinking.Then tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse，but you hope your friendship will move on.

Good afternoon, everyone! This is Rose Garden Middle School Radio. John Smith speaking, with something new to share with you today. We all know that thinking green is sometimes the most difficult thing to do, but not impossible! Bed ZED, a new eco-friendly village (生态村) in the south of London, has done a great job of providing its villagers with a high level living while getting them to pay more attention to protecting the environment.
people in Bed ZED have done many things. They recycle their paper, plastic, glass and other daily things. They build many houses whose windows face south in order to get as much sunlight as possible. The rainwater is collected for use in the toilets. Also, the people there travel to work in shared cars or use public transportation if they work far away.
Now, you may think it’s not easy to live such a life, but let me tell you. it’s not! It’s a way of life. We just have to say no to what is bad for the environment, and begin working on ideas to protect it. Life would be much more pleasant if villages like Bed ZED existed (存在) all over the world!
