Lesson 2: reading 1
I: Pre reading:
* Ask Ss to work inpair and answer three questions:
1. How much waste does your family produce everyday?
2. Which waste can you reuse?
3. Which one can you sell for recycling?
II: While reading:
* Ask Ss to read the passage and do the tasks that follow:
Many places are sinking under the weight of their own wastes, we must learn to use
less and to reuse and recycle so that less waste is produced. For instance, the more paper
we can use, the more trees have tobe cut down. Thats why we should reduce and recycle
paper to save forests.
Apart from paper, recyclable wastes include glass, plastic and mentals. When you
go shopping, do not buy over packaged products. If you have th buy heavily packaged
products, do not throw away the packaging, use it for another purpose. For examples,
paper bags can be used for carrying other things, or for making displays. If the packaging
can not be reused, try to sell it for recycling.
The more wastes we produce, the more isposal trucks, labor and dump space are
needed. All these cost money. Besides waste disposal causes all kinds of problems.
Burning waste is illegal many products when burned produce dangerous chemicals that
are harmful to life.
Making compost is another way to keep the environment clean. Some wastes from
schools canteens are gardens can be composted to make natural fertilizer. The fertilizer
can be easily returned to the soil. By composting we can reduce the amount of rubbish in
the landfills.

- disposal:
sử dụng tuỳ tiện.

đổ thành đống rác.
- fertilizer
phân bón hoá học.
- compost
