1. Read the text below very carefully:

A material is what something is made of. There are 5 basic materials. Most things are made with these
materials. Some things are made of metal. Some things are made of glass. Some things are made of wood.
Some things are made of cloth. And some things are made of plastic. There are some other materials. But
they are not used as much as these 5 materials. Lets talk about metal first. Metal is very heavy. And it is
very hard and strong. It usually feels cool if you touch it. We use metal to make lots of things. We use it for
forks and knives. We use it for keys. We use it for cars. We use it for these things because it is very strong.
Lets start with glass. Glass is very smooth. It feels cool to touch. It is not as heavy as metal. It is hard. But it
is not strong. It breaks very easily! Then why do we use it? We use it because it is clear! You can see
through glass! Thats why we use it for windows. Thats also why we use it for glasses.
Now, lets talk about wood. Wood is lighter than metal and glass. It is not as strong as metal. But it is much
stronger than glass. We use wood to make lots of things. Things made from wood are usually light and hard
and strong. Chairs and tables are made from wood. Pencils are made from wood. We now discuss cloth.
Cloth is very light. It is much lighter than wood. And it is very soft. We use cloth to make lots of things. For
example, it is used to make clothing. And it is used to make blankets. Last, lets talk about plastic. Plastic is
also very light. But it is different from cloth. Sometimes it is soft. And sometimes it is hard. Plastic can be
used to make thin plastic bags. These are light, soft, and strong. But plastic can also be used to make
bicycle helmets. These are light, hard, and strong. A helmet and a bag seem different. But they are both
made from plastic.
Now prepare 5 WH-questions with relevant answers using information from the text:
