Green Issue
by Ana Babic

Have you ever given a thought about how many animals are becoming endangered
species? One of the most endangered are certainly the whales, the great kings of the sea. But, what if you could do something to prevent this and at the sometime get to know them better.
So if you really care for wildlife and are keen on helping, you should definitely “adopt” a whale. Adopt a whale is a kind of charity organization which collects money for protection and survival of whales
With a small amount of 17.50$ you can help a lot. Besides the Whale Adoption Certificate you get a free video of your whale, a colors wall poster, a brochure and “ I luv my whale “ sticker. Also you will receive a black and white photo and the whole biography of your whale.
What is very important to say is that all the donations are charity registered, so you know your money will go to who intended it to go. This is a great a opportunity for young and all people alike to help these beautiful animals and also have a great time.

Clubs
The easiest way of meeting people in our college is certainly by joining in one of many clubs here. If you are the type of people who enjoys poetry then you should differently be a part of the New Poets clubs. Also, there are sports acting and music clubs.

Events
On 12th of May starts the competition of the Young Amateurs of Bristol where all the colleges will compete for the prize. It is a big spectacle where a lot of people come and it always begins with a big firework and there are free drinks and cookies for everyone.

Voluntary work
One of the easiest ways of earning money and having a good time is by working in the cafeteria where you work only from 11-14 and you get to listen music all the time since we have CD player and all kind of CDs. If you like animals you can help with the horses, and all you have to do is to feed them three times a day. There are only four horses and you can ride them sometimes if you know how.

Facilities
Besides all the named ones we also have a large tennis and basketball court, swimming pool and a large garden which the students decorate as they wish. So enjoy yourself the best way possible and be welcome.

GREEN TRUST LETTER BY A.VISIC - 1ST CHECK

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing regard your advertisement that I saw in a newsppaper. I think that I have the project that will really help my town.
Project itself is very simple and it can easily be arranged. When you come to our town, or any other town in Serbia, you will see garbage everywhere. I know that people are irrisponsible he, regards trash, but there are only like that because there are not enough trash cans here. My project is about putting trash cans all over the town so that it wil be clean and whats more healtier.
Second part of project is about putting bigger trash cans next to the ones in which they are already trowing garbage from their homes. They are not ordinary, they will be used for recycling. First will be for paper, second for glass, third for metal, and they will be put in a big districts.
The organisation for putting these bins will not cost a thing because I approched Vidrak, firm which takes garbage to the garbage dump and which takes care of green in this town, and they said that they will do it without charcing. I will also make a presentation about recycling where I can inform how properly to use this trashcans. By getting this prize I could clean the town, the job would be easier for garbage dump and also, we could earn some money from recycling, which we could use to buy more trash cans and give it to other towns.
I look forwart to hearin from you.

Yours faihfully,
Aleksandar Visic

GREEN TRUST LETTER BY D.CVETKOVIC - 1ST CHECK

Here is your letter with sections which need improvement in bold letters. Correct them and publish your posting.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am interested in applying for the grant which was advertised in local newspapers last week. The reason for my application is that this grant would give me the opportunity to try to do something I have been planning for a long time. My project is based on the composters, special kind of bins, which I am going to explain in this letter.
In order to solve the problem of all kind of garbage I, with help of some mentors, came to solution to make composters, special kind of bins, which will be located in front of all building, for a beginning just in Valjevo but later, if this project succeeds, these composters could be found in every city in many countries. These composters will only be for organic waste (grass, all kind of vegetables and their peel) and in the beginning they will contain certain amount of ground. The main goal of these composters is to, from all kind of organic waste, by putridity process, make productive ground. The starting amount of ground is very small and it is to accelerate the putridity process.
This project involves local community and media which will introduce local people and give them directions about how to use these new bins. Composters will be situated in front of all residential buildings by local communal company.
The grant money would be used for making these composters, paying the workers who will setup composters. Also money would be used for commercialing this project in local media, or maybe for special pesticides which will accelerate putridity process.
The main aim of this project is to reduce the level of garbage on (deponije).
I sincerely hope that my project will be accepted and I am looking forward to hearing from you soonm
Yours faithfully

Damjan Cvetkovic
