Read the following passage and decide if it is T or F.

You turn on a lamp and it is energy that gives you light. You turn on a TV and it is energy that gives you pictures and sound. You ride a motorcycle and it is energy that gives you movement.

The shortage of energy in the future is inevitable. Therefore, saving energy is a must if we want to continue to live in a safe and sound world.
