The invention of the camera goes far into the past. In the 1500s, men were experimenting with cameras that made images. But it was not until the early 1800s that man found a way to make the pictures permanent. Even then, photography was a new field. Most families had their pictures taken by a photographer. People did not own cameras because taking pictures and developing the film were too difficult.
In 1884, George Eastman changed photography by inventing a kind of film that fit into a small camera. Because the new film was easy to use, many people began to buy cameras. When they had used up their film, people returned their cameras to the factory. There, the film was developed, and pictures were printed. Then more film was put into the cameras, which was sent back to the owners, along with their pictures.
Eastman’s camera made it easy to take pictures. Today’s cameras are even easier to use, and people can put in their own film. Photography has become a growing hobby.
There are also many new jobs in the field of photography. One of the most important kinds of work is in news reporting. Newspapers, magazines, and television all need pictures to tell their stories. Photographers aid scientists by taking pictures through microscopes and telescopes. Deep-sea divers take pictures of ocean plants and animals, while astronauts take cameras into space. Man finds new uses for the cameras every day.

Mankind is wasting things everywhere and everyday. Wherever we go, we can see that food is wasted just because of poor taste; clothes are thrown away simply due to their old fashion. Trees are cut down merely for fuel; wild animals are killed simply for meat and fur; oil and coal are exploited in a bad way.
The worst example of man’s waste is the waste of time. Many people tend to spend their time on worthless things, such as wandering about in the street, gossiping in the office, sleeping too much during the day.
It is time to call for an end to the waste. On one hand, we must save on natural resources and make full use of them. On the other hand, we must treasure our time.

One possible version:
According to the passage, problems of wasting all kinds of resources have become very serious, especially the waste of time. Therefore, we are supposed to take measures against wasting.
A proverb says “Time is money.” But in my opinion, time is more precious than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason why we should value time.
The time for our study and work is unusually limited. We should make full use of our time to do useful things. As a student, we ought to make efforts to be engaged in our study. Actually, wasting time is equal to wasting part of our valuable life.
In a word, we should form the good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today till tomorrow.
