参考演说：
Low-carbon life encourages people to minimize energy use and greenhouse gas emission, especially the emission of carbon dioxide which scientists say is a major cause of global warming. In other words, we are encouraged to leave less carbon footprint in our daily life. When you drive a car, the engine burns fuel which creates a certain amount of carbon dioxide. Even if you heat your house with electricity, the generation of the electrical power may also have emitted a certain amount of carbon dioxide. All those activities can put strains on the environment and lead to a worsening climate change. That’s why low-carbon lifestyle. is advocated. Everybody has to share the responsibility to tackle climate change. Some changes in your life can make a big difference to the environment. Firstly, choose public transport instead of private cars. If you have to drive a car, car-pooling is recommended. Secondly, switch your computers, air conditioners, and other electronic appliances to energy-saving mode; choose energy-efficient bubbles; turn them off when they’re not in use. Thirdly, use reusable carrier bags, cups, chopsticks as more environmentally-friendly alternatives to disposable commodities.

大家看到了，这个简短的演说其实内容、句式、单词等各方面都不复杂，根据上面三个提示问题，我们可以很容易地理清一下演说的逻辑和思路，另外就是要注意积累一下环保方面的相关词汇，比如上文中的car-pooling，还有“绿色出行”green commuting、“减少碳足迹”reduce your carbon footprint等等，对举例说明很有帮助；主体内容讲完之后，如果监考老师还没有叫停的话，再大致讲讲自己对low-carbon life的看法之类总结性的话语，这样，口语部分就可以顺利过关啦。
