I. Read the text and underline the verb in the past form. (5 points)

EARTH DAY

Hello my name’s Anna… I am 10 years old and I want to say who

celebrated the Earth Day. The 22nd of April, all the children from the
world, we celebrated Earth Day. In this day, we went out, we didn’t use
the car in order to avoid pollution, and we turned off the lights because we
didn’t need them. We only turned on the water if we really need it and we
recycled in order to help our nice planet. Also we enjoyed the day going
to the camp, we went on foot and there we ate and when we finished, we
took everything and we recycled it. Because of this, for this reason we
should remember the 3R rule, reuse (to use something more), reduce (to
reduce something is to use something less) and recycle. I think a better
planet could be possible if everybody does this everyday.
