Teacher-Student Interaction

The teacher will ask you some questions. Answer them.

• END OF PAPER • Recycling Waste

We produce a lot of waste every day. Instead of dumping all rubbish in the landfill sites, we can choose to recycle some of the useful materials. There are three types of recycling bins. The blue ones are for paper. The yellow ones are for metal containers. The brown ones are for plastic items. We put different materials into different bins. We should recycle waste because it is good for the environment.
