    A) Read the following text carefully:

    Lets save our planet!

    Everyone must play a part in protecting the environment.


    There are many things you can do your own every day to
    Help save the planet. Here are some suggestions.

    REDUCE!

    Really, the best thing we can do for the planet is to use less of it. At
    the Earth of the environmental crisis is our consumer society. Here are some questions you
    can ask yourself before buying something: Do I, or the other person I am buying this for,
    really need this? Is there another product which would do the same thing but more
    sustainable? Will this last a long time? Did I know how this item was made, how it will be used
    and how it will be disposed of?

    REUSE!

    Regrettably, because we live in a disposable society, we are encouraged to buy a new


    improved item even if the one we have can be repaired. When we buy, we should buy items
    which are durable, we should maintain them, and have them repaired when necessary. If we
    practice this, many things can not only last a life-time, but they can be passed along
    generation to generation. If something is truly unusable for its original proposes, try to be
    more creative and think of how else it might be used. When youre done with it, think of
    whether someone else might be able to use it.

    RECYCLE!

    Rather than throwing an item out when neither you nor anyone else can make use of it,
    have it recycled. And while recycling is not perfect, it is better than sending goods to landfill
    or having them incinerated.
    Find out what types of materials can be recycled in your area. Clean and sort the materials
    before putting them out on the curb often collectors will not pick up recycling that is mixed
    or contains non-recyclables.

    COMPREHENSION

    B) Find evidence of these statements in the text:


    1. The main reason why our planet is in danger is our uncontrolled willingness to buy goods even they aren't

    necessary.

    2. Consumers should have in mind the necessity of buying products that can last for a long time.

    3. Every body has not only the worry about keeping things in working order but also restoring them good

    condition in order to put the Reuse principle in practice.

    4. People should search for information on the items that are accepted for recycling in their place of

    living.

    REPORTED SPEECH

    1. Correct the mistakes in the reported speech.

    a) There are also many things you can do on your own everyday to help save the planet.
    Greenpeace told us there was many things you could do to on your own to save the planet.

    b) Will this last a long time?


    We wanted to know if this will last a long time.

    c) How was this item made?


    I asked them how this item has been made.

    d) Be creative and think how else it may be used.


    The Greenpeace members advised us be creative and think of how else might be used.
