Today is Monday, 18th November 2013 Lesson 27 Subject: Recycling - vocabulary

Questions: 1. What is recycling? Recycling is a process to change materials like glass, paper, metal, plastic into new products. Materials to be recycled should be sorted, cleaned and reprocessed into new materials. 2. Is recycling important? yes!!! It: - prevents waste of useful materials - reduces [|energy] usage - reduces air pollution (from [|incineration]/burning) - reduces water pollution (from [|landfilling]) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower [|greenhouse gas] emissions as compared to plastic production - reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials 3. What can you recycle? Recyclable materials include many kinds of [|glass], [|paper], [|metal], [|plastic], [|textiles], and [|electronics]

4. Do you recycle in your life? How? I sort my rubbish at home. It's hard work because there are three separate plastic rubbish bags. Then I put the waste in the right container. I isn't convenient if you have a small apartment but we need to do it to help the environment and save natural resources.

Recycling is a process to change [|materials] ([|waste]) into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, reduce [|energy] usage, reduce air pollution (from [|incineration]) and water pollution (from[|landfilling]) by reducing the need for "conventional" waste disposal, and lower [|greenhouse gas] emissions as compared to plastic production.[|[1]][|[2]] Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "[|Reduce], [|Reuse], Recycle" [|waste hierarchy].

Recyclable materials include many kinds of [|glass], [|paper], [|metal], [|plastic], [|textiles], and [|electronics]. Although similar in effect, the[|composting] or other reuse of [|biodegradable waste]—such as [|food] or [|garden waste]—is not typically considered recycling.[|[2]]Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection center or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned, and reprocessed into new materials bound for manufacturing. source: Wikipedia

Listening text from the lesson Hello and welcome to the programme. Today’s topic is robots. Not the robots we have now … but “robots of the future”. In the future robots will have realistic conversations with their owners. People who live alone will be able to buy a robot for company. The robots will help around the house too. They won’t be able to do everything but they’ll be able to do things like cleaning and making lunch.

In the future robots will be much smaller. Scientists will be able to put these microscopic robots inside our bodies. This new technology will help people with false arms and legs. They will be able to make their legs move just by thinking about it.

Robots will also make an astronaut’s job much safer. They will go into space and take photographs. They will be able to stay there a long time because they won’t need to eat, drink or sleep. They’ll also be able to repair a space station when it is broken.
