- Write a passage ( about 100 words) about solar energy,
using the information in the two exercises above.
Sample:
Most of our electricity now comes from coal, gas, oil or
nuclear power. The sun could provide this power so many
countries are already using energy. Only one percent of the
solar energy that gets to the Earth can provide enough
power for the world’s population.
Solar energy is a cheap, clean and effective source of
power that doesn’t cause pollution or waste natural
resources.
There is an advanced solar program in Sweden. It’s
said that by the year 2015 , all building in Sweden will be
heated by solar energy and cars will use solar energy power,
too.
