Did you know that in the USA, on April 22nd, people celebrate Earth Day ? 

People meet in the streets and give documents about how to respect the environment, how to live in harmony with nature… You can also get a tree for free in some places, and plant it in your garden.

2 ) Now go to this link. Let’s read extracts from the text, and talk together :
