III. Reading Comprehension (10 marks)

I’m sure you all know how important recycling is. Recycling is when you take old
things and turn them into new things. It sounds like magic. But it’s actually very
scientific.
Do you know how it all works? The first thing you have to do is collect items that can be
recycled. Only certain materials can be recycled. These include things made out of paper,
metal, glass and plastic. Can you think of everyday items made out of these materials?
Soda cans are a good example. They are made out of metal. Magazines and newspapers
are made out of paper. So are cereal boxes. Some bottles of juice are made out of glass.
Bags and yogurt containers are made out of plastic. There are many things that can be
recycled.
These things are usually stamped with the recycling loop. It has 3 arrows that go in
a triangular circle. This shows that the cycle continues. Items are thrown away but
continue their lives as something else. Let’s get back to the process of recycling. Once
you put all your items in a recycling bin, a truck comes to pick them up. Everything goes
to a recycling plant. There, the materials get separated. They go into different piles. There

2
are special machines that crush each pile together. The materials get squashed into square
cubes.
They are really heavy. You would need a forklift to carry them. Companies buy
these cubes and turn them into new products. Now let’s take a closer look at how old
paper is transformed. First the paper is torn into tiny pieces. Then a special water with
chemicals is poured onto it. The fibers start to stick together. In time, a brand-new roll of
paper is created! If there were things written or printed on the first paper, they disappear.
Recycling keeps our planet healthy. It reduces waste. It also saves energy. You can do
your part. So just remember the golden rule: always recycle your products!
