  • Recently, every morning when I wake up, I findmy air-conditioner automatically1 turned off . I didn't understand why at first , but soon Ilearned that there was a great shortage2 of electricity supply in our city – my air-conditionerturned off because of a power failure midnight.

    With the rapidly developing industry and the ever-increasing population, demand forelectricity supply is soaring3. Besides, summers in recent years are much hotter than before ,so most working places and households are air-conditioned , which consumes additionalelectricity.

    Face with such a hard nut , we have to find ways to crack it . Above all , in western areasChina , there is surplus4 of electricity supply. So , cities that are thirsty for electricity mayask for remote help. Then ,when we have electricity , we should remember to save it . Setyour air-conditioners at 27C and you won't feel less comfortable than when they are at 26C . Infact , some factories already shift their working hours to avoid the peak time of electricityconsuming. My parents don’t work from Monday to Friday as before – they work form Saturdayto Wednesday and have the following two days off instead. This is also a way out, isn't it?
