Explanation
Mini-text: “Nature is our common home. Every person can contribute to protecting it. Planting a tree, saving water, sorting waste may seem small, but their natural result is big. Protecting nature means protecting the future.” Working on the text: check tricky spellings in a dictionary (tabiat, tabiiy, chiqindi, ekologiya); outline: 1) nature is a common home, 2) what we can do, 3) conclusion. Main idea: small actions bring great benefit to nature.
