Having a pen pal is fun and can be a great way to improve your writing skills. But most people have trouble knowing what to write to their pen pal.
Luckily, here are some ways to get to know a pen pal.
Share your information. ① Start with your name, age, and job. Write about what you like to do or what’s on your mind that day. What you pass on will encourage your pen pal to tell you something about himself. And this will be helpful to start your friendship.
Ask questions. Write questions for your pen pal to answer in his next e-mail. This will help you get to know him and probably get you a faster answer. Make your questions into the e-mail by telling him something you like to do and then asking if he’s ever tried it.
Ask for advice. You may have some difficulties in your life and want to ask for advice. Your pen pal may tell you what to do. ② , but it will give you something about his opinions. Also, discussing real-word questions will promote your friendship.

3.What does the passage mainly tell us about?
Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment. “We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment, especially we didn’t know that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs (公共事件) has grown into a social movement. Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots (草根) Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.
According to US government reports, emissions from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced (减少) from 40 to 9. Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change!” says Bruce Anderson.
