III. Reading
Ms. Blake : Recycling is easy. Remember: reduce, reuse and recycle.
Ba: You’re right. It’s not difficult to remember because all the three words begin with the letter R. Can you explain what you mean, Ms Blake?
Ms. Blake: Certainly. I’m pleased that you want to know more. Reduce means not buying products which are overpackaged. For example, shirts and socks which have plastic and paper packaging.
Hoa: I think I know what things we can reuse.
Ms. Blake: Can you tell the class, please?
Hoa : We can reuse things like envelopes, glass, and plastic bottles and old plastic bags.
Ms. Blake: That’s right. But instead of reusing plastic bags, we shouldn’t use them at all. We ought to use cloth bags.
Lan : So is that what you mean by recycle?
Ms. Blake: Yes, don’t just throw things away. Try and find another use for them.
Lan: That’s easy to say, Miss Blake, but how do we do it?
Ms. Blake: Contact an organization like Friends of the Earth for information, go to your local library, or ask your family and friends.
