1.3 (PASTE YOUR RECORDING PRODUCTION: A SPECIAL PAST
ANECDOTE WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD DURING SCHOOL ROUTINES
FROM EXERCISE 10 MODULE 1 E-BOOK) AND PICTURE WITH
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TOOL.

When I was a child, I used to go through the same school routine every day like
clockwork. My alarm clock used to go off at the crack of dawn, and I used to
groggily stumble out of bed, still half asleep. I used to drag myself to the kitchen,
where my mom used to whip up a quick breakfast while I used to wolf it down
before rushing out the door.

Once at school, I used to hang out with my friends during breaks, and we used
to goof off in the playground, playing tag or climbing trees. Sometimes we used
to get into trouble for being too loud, but we used to just laugh it off. In class, I
used to sit at my desk, trying to pay attention to the teacher, but my mind used
to wander to far-off places. I used to doodle in my notebook, daydreaming about
adventures I used to want to have.

• Have you ever been a backpacker? How this traveling style contribute
to take care the environment in your region? Mention 3 contributions.
I have never been a back packer. However, being a backpacker offers numerous
opportunities to contribute to environmental conservation and sustainability.
Here's how:

1. Reduce, Reuse, recycle: Backpackers often need to carry their essentials in

a backpack, which encourages them to pack light and prioritize reusable items.
By minimizing waste and reusing gear, backpackers can reduce their
environmental impact.
2. Supporting Sustainable Tourism: Backpackers can choose to support eco-
friendly accommodations, tour operators, and local businesses that prioritize
sustainable practices. This encourages responsible tourism and helps to protect
fragile ecosystems.
3. Choosing Eco-Friendly Transportation: Opting for sustainable modes of
transportation, such as hiking, biking, or using public transportation, reduces
carbon emissions and minimizes environmental harm compared to driving or
flying.
• What kind of changes have you adopted at home to have a greener
future? Describe 2 of them.

Reduce Energy Consumption using LED light bulbs, and turn off lights and
electronics when not in use to reduce electricity consumption.
Minimizing waste by reducing single-use items, reusing containers and bags, and
