Recycling is important in today’s world if we want to leave this planet for our future generations. It is good
for the environment, since we are making new products from the old products which are of no use to us. There
are many reasons why it’s important to recycle as much as possible.
Making new products out of recycled materials reduces the need to consume precious resources. So
recycling helps protect raw materials and protect natural habitats for the future.
Using recycling materials in the manufacturing process uses considerably less energy than that required for
producing new products from raw materials.
Recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw
materials all of which create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy, it also reduces
greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.
There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK and, in 2001, these sites produced a quarter of the UK’s
emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that is released as the biodegradable waste (such as food
and paper) decomposes. Existing landfill sites are filling up fast and there is very limited space for new ones.
A massive reduction in the amount of waste we send to landfill is required if we are to avoid the heavy
fines and the landfill taxes that are being imposed by Central Government on councils that exceed their landfill
allowances. Increases in your Council Tax or service cuts in other areas would be the only way of paying these
penalties.

There are millions of plants and animals living in the sea. Most of the plants and animals living in the
oceans are extremely small and float near the surface of the water in their thousands. They are food for huge
numbers of small animals that also live near the surface. Together, they are all known as plankton.
Many fish feed on this plankton, including one of the largest, the whale shark. Despite their great size,
certain whales live entirely on plankton.
The blue whale is the largest animal ever to live. It grows to a length Of over 100 feet. The humpback
whale is a smaller kind and has long flippers. It can jump right out the water. The Californian grey whale
makes long migrations every year - it spends the summer feeding in the Artic but swims south to the warmer
waters off the coast of Mexico in the winter. The females give birth in the shallow, warm water there.
Many of the fish in the sea may be eaten by other meat-eaters. Sharks, for example, are some of the fastest
hunters, although not all of them eat other fish.
Deep down in the oceans live many strange fish. It is so dark down there that many of these fish have
"light" on them, which are used for attracting smaller fish for the larger ones to eat.
Jellyfish are peculiar-looking creatures ranging in size from a fraction of an inch to 6 feet
across. They don't really swim but drift in the currents of the open oceans. Although they contain
a powerful sting, they are often eaten by turtles. Turtles are reptiles that spend most of their eggs
on sandy beach.

Trappists are monks who are not allowed to preach or to teach. Their lives are devoted to meditation,
studying and reading.
In 1949, one group of Trappists fled to Hong Kong from China, leaving behind their houses and their
dairy industry. They dressed themselves as labourers and carried only a few possessions.
' Here, the monks had to start a new life. They found it difficult to obtain food and they had nowhere
to live; but somehow the managed with the help of the community and charitable organizations. It was not
until 1995 that the Hong Kong government granted them land on Lantao island.

UAS X/SMAN2/JKT/MGMP-ING /2018/Mr.K Page 3


The monks are not allowed to beg for a living, so they had to work very hard on the island. They started
a dairy farm, kept about five hundred chickens and started growing their own vegetables.
' A large part of the work of the Trappists is concerned with their dairy. The cows are fed regularly,
milked and kept healthy. The dairy, which produces about two thousand bottles of milk a day, brings the
monks their main income. The monks sell about half of the milk to a large hotel in Hong Kong, while
hospitals and schools buy the rest. The monks also earn some money by selling eggs. Sometimes, the
Trappists sell some of their cattle. The monks themselves do not eat meat, however, as they are vegetarians.

He was a businessman. He wanted to take things to sell. He also wanted to take gold to buy things with. He
decided to take ten servants with him. They would carry the things to sell and the gold, and also food to eat
on the journey.
He was a kind man. He said to one of his servants, “You are the smallest, the thinnest and the weakest
of all my servants. You cannot carry a heavy load. You must choose the lightest load carry.”
The servants thanked his master for his kindness. He pointed to the biggest load. This was bread to eat
on the journey.

load cheerfully and the journey began. They walked for four hours. Then they stopped for a rest. They all ate

Day after day
Time passed away
And I just can't get you out of my mind

The courage to show to let you know

And once again I'm thinking about
Taking the easy way out
But if I let you go I will never know
What my life would be holding you close to me
Will I ever see you smiling back at me ? (oh yeah)
How will I know if I let you go ?

Why don't this feeling just fade away
There's no one like you (no one like you)
You speak to my heart (speak to my heart)
It's such a a shame we're worlds apart
I'm too shy to ask, I'm too proud to lose
