to each of the following questions.
Plastic is a material we use every day. The first plastics were made more than 100 years ago
from parts of plants. Plastics are now made from oil, coal and natural gas. We are using up
these things so fast that the Earth’s su:pplies may run out. Because of this, scientists are
investigating new ideas for making plastics from plants such as sweet potato, bamboo and
flax. Things made from plastic can be useful for people but bad for the planet. Some plastics
can last for a long time without wearing out, and can be difficult to get rid of when they are
not needed. They can stay in rubbish dumps for hundreds of years. Landfills can be
smelly, ugly, and harmful to our planet.
Recycling and reusing are a good way to solve the problem of unwanted plastic. Recycled
waste materials can be used again to make new products. Some kinds of plastics can be
melted down and used to make new things such as bags and bottles. Others can be made into
fibers for clothing. Plastic bottles can be refilled many times, rather than throwing them away
once they are empty. Unwanted plastic goods such as CDs and toys can be sold or given away to charity shops.
Question 33. Which cab be the best title for the passage? A.
Plastic: benefits and drawbacks Chất dẻo: lợi ích và hạn chế
