Dear Fred,

It was a real sorrow that I heard this morning of your great loss. I knew your mother was ill, for your
brother told me several weeks ago. However, as he at that time did not seem to think the illness was
very serious, the news of your mother’s death came to me as a shock. You have my sincere and
heartfelt sympathy, my dear fellow, in your sorrow. I know you will feel it deeply, for you always
thought so much of your mother and loved her so truly. I feel it also as a personal loss to myself, for
your mother was always very kind to me. Her death must be a terrible grief to your father, too. Please
assure him of my sincere sympathy.

Words, I know, are poor comforters. “The heart knows its own sorrow”, and in such sorrows we are
always alone. However, it is not mere words when I say that I feel with you in your sorrow.

Your sincere friend,

Jack

Dear Jonathan,

Hello! How are you? I received your letter today. I am very excited to hear that you are coming to
stay with me for the holidays. I am sure we will have a lot of fun together.

My parents have agreed to let you stay with me. They offered to pick you up at the airport. All you
have to do is to tell us when you are coming.

worry about the local spicy food. We have a lot of fast-food restaurants here like the ones you have in
England.

They have many shops selling all kinds of things. I am sure you will love them.

With love.

Dear Paula,

Hello Paula, how are you? It’s been a month since I last heard from you. Well, I just wanted to tell
you that I was in a hospital last week. According to the doctor; I was infected by dengue fever.

At first, I felt my body became weak then I fainted when I was studying in the classroom. Then, I was
taken to the hospital because of the high fever.

At the hospital, I was brought into the emergency unit. The doctor immediately gave some treatment.
Finally, I had to stay there for one week. Everyday the doctor kept me on a drip.

At the seventh day, my condition was getting better. After the final check, the doctor gave me
permission to go home. Now, I’m okay and because of my illness, I am now more careful about

Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials
that would otherwise be thrown away. Materials ranging
from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to
plastic spoons, can be recycled. The recycling process
reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products
costs less and requires less energy than using new materials.
Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the
demand for high-pollution alternatives or by minimizing the
amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing
process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard
containers, wrapping paper, and office paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is
newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such
as plastic bags and aluminum foil. The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot
water and turned into pulp in a machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is
screened and filtered to remove smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink
separates from the paper fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as
ink or burned as boiler fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper
again.Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month.
Every ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of
recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

24. 1. The following things can be recycled, EXCEPT….

A. Precious metals
B. Broken glass
C. Old newspapers
D. Plastic spoons
E. Fresh vegetables and fruits

25. Which of the following is NOT the benefit of recycling?

A. It costs much money for the process of recycling
B. It costs less to make new products
C. It requires less energy
D. It can reduce pollution
E. It reduces the demand for high-pollution alternatives

26. What is the third step of recycling paper products?

A. Collect and search for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminium foil
B. Mix the paper with hot water in a blender which turns it into pulp
C. Screen and filter the pulp to remove smaller contaminants
D. Put the pulp to a large vat to separate the ink from the paper fibres
E. Mix the pulp with new wood fibres to be made into paper again

27. We can make use of the ink after being separated from the paper fibres by doing the followings,
EXCEPT….
A. Skim it off
B. Dry it
C. Reuse as ink
D. Burn as boiler fuel
E. Mix it with the pulp

Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from?.Chocolate starts with a tree called
the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in places such as South America,
Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pine apple. Inside the
fruit are The tree’s seeds, also known as cocoa beans.The beans are fermented for about a week, dried
in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans
to bring out the flavour. Different beans from different places have different qualities and flavor, so
they are often sorted and blended to produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed.
Winnowing removes the meat nib of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The
blended nibs are ground to make it a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All
seeds contain some amount of fat, and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half
fat, which is why the ground nibs form liquid. It’s pure bitter chocolate.
