Section B: Summary

[10 marks]

Read the passage below and answer the question that follows.

Recycling is a means of processing used things to be used again as new products. We

recycle old paper bags, bottles and plastic bags to reduce their production. Besides that,
in recycling, we use things like newspapers, aluminum cans and garden refuse to make
new things.
With the advancement of technology, natural materials are
becoming scarce. Therefore, human beings have resorted to recycling to avoid the raw
materials from perishing. It is also important to reduce the amount of waste in the
environment. It is sad to say in a day, human beings discard many things. Some of these
things can be recycled. Therefore, when we reuse things, we throw away fewer items.
Landfills and dumpsites are places where rubbish is disposed.
These landfills are limited, so we must learn to save space. In order to do so, we must
recycle the things we use in our daily lives. We can recycle glass containers, aluminum
cans, paper and shopping bags.
In recycling, we save energy. During a production process a lot of
energy will be required to produce a new product. The by-products of these new
products are toxic waste that can be harmful to mankind. Hence, through recycling,
pollution can be reduced.
We recycle materials to save money. It is a cheaper method of
waste disposal than landfills. We can also make creative handicrafts and gives from
used items as decorations for the home and as presents to friends. Besides this, the
recycled materials can be sold to gain some revenue for the family. Beautiful cards, gift
wraps and decorative home items can be made from recycled materials thereby helping
the cottage or home industries.

• not be more than 60 words, including the 10 words given below
• be in continuous writing (not note form)
