The problem of paper cups has been in the news a lot. Around seven million cups are thrown away every day. Reporters say that some cafes lie about how many paper cups they recycle. The reporters say the cafes do not recycle as many cups as they say. Customers wrongly believe that a coffee shop is environmentally friendly.

I thought they were more responsible."

When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, every time he asked me 【1】(hold)the hammer(錘子) for him, just so we would have a time for a conversation with each other.

I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning, no matter what. And when several years 【3】 ( late), I bought a house, my dad was painting it by himself for three days in the 38℃ summer heat. All he asked was to hold his paint brush and talk to him.

First parents should treat their children as grown-ups. In parents' eyes, no matter how old their children are, they always treat them as babies. So they will be easy to make every decision for the children. Then the children will be rebellious（叛逆的）and don't want to talk to their parents, because they think there is nothing in common between them.

Second, parents should encourage their children. As parents always treat their children as the babies, they will deny（否定）their children’s ideas all the time. It is wrong to do so, parents should encourage their children and lead them to have their own thinking. It is better to let the children realize their mistakes by themselves.

Too Good To Go, an app being used in the UK, allows users to order leftover（剩余的）food at a low price from restaurants. The purpose is to cut down on food waste, as lots of restaurants usually throw away the food that can still be eaten at the end of the day.

Users just need to pick a restaurant and pay through the app. Then they pick up their food at planned times usually around closing time or after peak (高峰期的) meal times.

"Food waste is one of the biggest problems we have in this world," one creator of the app said. "The restaurant industry is wasting about 600,000 tons of food each year." By the end of August, Too Good To Go had helped save about 600 meals in the UK.

Users also have the choice to give meals to people who are in need by donating one British pound or more through the app. By the end of August, more than 1,100 meals had been donated.

Too Good To Go isn't the first app to try to deal with food waste. In Spain, the Yo No Desperdicio app allows people to exchange leftover food with each other. In the US, the Food Cowboy app allows food shops to sell "ugly vegetables" that most customers don't buy to charities and food banks that need them.
