 READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate 
the correct answer to each of the questions
 You probably hear a lot about the environment. But do you really worry about it? Do you help 
to save the Earth? Cleaning a planet is not a task for only one person. People everywhere have 
to get involved and understand this is our world. If we pass the world about the importance of 
reducing, reusing and recycling, the destiny of this planet can change.
 Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. Did you 
switch off the water while brushing your teeth in the morning? You should do it! Did you walk 
to school or did you use public transportation?
 Reusing is another way of being environmentally friendly. Try to find ways to use things 
again! Take cloth sacks when you go shopping instead of taking home newspaper or plastic 
bags. You should use cloth sacks again and again. You have to save some trees! Shoe boxes can 
be used to store things or become fun art projects. Use your imagination!
 You can also recycle in your home or even at school. Many communities have recycling 
centers for newspapers, batteries and a variety of glass and plastics. These can be made into 
new products.

 Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the 
best method. Is it better to study in the UK or to study in your own country?
 The advantages of going to the UK seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the 
language all the time. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. 
Another advantage is that you have to speak English if you are with other people.
 On the other hand, there are also advantages of staying at home to study. You don’t have to 
make big changes to your life. In addition, it is also a lot cheaper than going to the UK. If you 
have a good teacher, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way.
 So, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend time 
learning English in the UK. But if you can’t study abroad, you should speak only English in 
class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.
