SOAL BAHASA INGGRIS (Analytical Exposition Text)

Instruction: Read the following text carefully to answer questions 1-3.


Why Recycling Is Important?
Recycling has become one of the most important practices in protecting our environment.
Every year, millions of tons of waste are thrown away, much of which could be recycled. Recycling
helps reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and oceans, minimizing the pollution that
harms wildlife. Additionally, recycling reduces the need for new raw materials, conserving natural
resources such as trees, water, and minerals.
One of the most significant benefits of recycling is its impact on the environment. By recycling
paper, glass, metal, and plastic, we reduce the need for mining and deforestation, two activities that
contribute to environmental degradation. For example, recycling one ton of paper saves about 17
trees, 7,000 gallons of water, and 463 gallons of oil. This process not only conserves natural resources
but also reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
Furthermore, recycling has economic benefits. The recycling industry creates jobs and
stimulates the economy. It provides opportunities for businesses to turn waste into valuable
products. By investing in recycling infrastructure, governments can reduce waste management costs
and create a more sustainable economy. For instance, recycling plastic bottles can produce materials
for new products like clothing, furniture, and building materials, contributing to economic growth.
In conclusion, recycling is an essential practice that benefits both the environment and the
economy. By recycling, we can conserve natural resources, reduce pollution, and create a sustainable
future for generations to come. Everyone has a role to play in ensuring a cleaner, greener world.
