Yiler Huang
I'm Yiler, an 8th grader student :).
I think I improved at helping people this semester, because of all the things I have learned. Like making a toy for a kid. That is a very special experience for me. Also, my knowledge involving recycling has improved. Which were things I knew very little about before this semester. But now, I can recognize where things go to reduce the work of people who work in the recycling center.
The thing I want to improve more this year is talking to others, because I don't know or daren't express my ideas with others. So I hope that I could talk more normally and not feel stressed when I'm talking. I think talking to people I don't know is really tough for me.
This semester, I learned that we can actually use trash to make things that are still of high quality, like sneakers and clothes. I also bought a jacket that is made from recycle bottles during the Christmas break. Is was as good as brand new jackets. I think it's important to recycle trash well, so we could decrease the wasted materials we throw away every day. The value of a Circular Economy is that we try not to create any new waste and make new things from old things. If we keep doing this, maybe one day we won't need to use the limited resources on Earth anymore.
我覺得這學期我在幫助別人的方面有進步，因為我幫一個小學生做了一個玩具，這對我來說是非常特別的經歷。另外，我在這學期也學到更多關於回收垃圾和再利用，讓世界上無用的垃圾少一些。我在這學期之前我對垃圾回收不太了解，但我現在至少可以正確地回收垃圾，同時也減少回收中心工作人員的工作量。
我今年想要進步的部分是和別人說話，因為我總是跟別人講話時講錯東西。所以我希望我可以更正常地跟別人溝通，而且不在說話的時候感到壓力。我認為和我不太熟的人交談對我來說很困難。
這學期，我學到了我們可以使用垃圾來製作品質很好的東西，比如鞋子和衣服。我還在放假時買了一件用回收寶特瓶做的外套，我覺得它和全新的外套沒有什麼差別。我認為回收垃圾很重要，這樣我們就可以減少每天浪費的材料。循環經濟的價值在於，我們盡量不製造任何浪費，以舊換新，有一天，也許我們不再需要使用地球上有限的資源。
