TASK 3
There are many ways to reduce the waste we produce daily. First, instead of throwing away plastic items, such as plastic bags and bottles after a single use, we can reuse them . Even better, we can switch to reusable options, such as canvas or cloth bags, to avoid the need for plastic bags at checkout counters. Another effective alternative is replacing plastic containers with refillable glass jars and metal bottles.
When we’re on the go, it’s easy to rely heavily on plastics for convenience. However, reusing lunchboxes and cutlery whenever possible can reduce plastic waste significantly. For example, instead of taking disposable cups, we can bring our own reusable coffee cups. We can also choose straws made of metal or bamboo rather than plastic ones, which helps cut down on single-use plastics.
At home, recycling and reusing personal products can make a big difference. Simple actions, like recycling packaging and repurposing plastic items, reduce waste and encourage sustainable habits. When possible, try to choose items that can be used multiple times, extending their life and reducing the need for disposable alternatives.
Finally, if time permits, creating homemade products from waste materials can be a rewarding and eco-friendly activity. For instance, used cooking oil can be turned into homemade soap, giving a second life to something that might otherwise be discarded. Developing these habits can be both fun and educational and offers a positive impact on the environment. Making small adjustments in our daily routines can add up to significant environmental benefits over time.
Question 17. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. People should avoid using glass jars entirely.
B. Using reusable items can make a positive environmental impact.
C. Plastic products are better than household-made products.

TASK 4
According to some Canadian news media, university students don't like to share their own cultures with each other and are not keen to learn about new ones. However, a study conducted earlier this year at the University of Winnipeg found the opposite.
Its aim was to gauge undergraduate students' attitude towards cultural identity and cultural diversity. It was influenced by the findings of a 2021 study that examined how nine dally Canadian newspapers defined the term 'multiculturalism'.
The current study included 10 undergraduate students who participated in two discussions about culture and heritage. All participants agreed on the importance of multiculturalism. Seven of them had arrived in Canada in the last 10 years from different places including the Philippines, Pakistan, and Nigeria. The students talked about where they, their parents. and their grandparents came from, discussing everything from language to festivals. religion, and traditions.
Three groups of students emerged. The first group maintained a strong connection with their heritage culture and values, and shared stories about their customs and how they made sure they didn't forget their heritage language. For example. one of them still liked listening to music in his home language. The second group felt a sense of belonging to a blend of cultures. They were exposed to different cultures when they grew up, however, they were open to and interested in experiencing other cultures through festivals and friends. The third group had experienced language and culture loss through the process of becoming Canadians. Although they were sad about that loss, they still felt enthusiastic about enriching Canadian culture and making it more diverse.

TASK 5
How to find a summer job? A guide for high school students
If you're currently in secondary school you may be interested in getting a job during your summer break. However, you may not know how to find a summer job. Here is some useful advice for you.
Firstly, you should find out when your school will close for the summer. Then you should plan to apply for jobs two to three months before the start of your summer break. This can help ensure that you have a job already lined up when summer arrives. After that you need to learn about the types of jobs that are available. For example, find out whether there are full-time or part-time jobs, and whether they require previous experience or training so that you can feel confident about applying.
Secondly, you should prepare an application letter for the job you want to apply for. In the letter, you should explain why you want the job and provide more details about the experiences or skills listed on your CV. You may have to change each application letter for every specific job to increase your chances of moving further in the hiring process. For example, your application letter for a shop assistant may highlight different qualifications than the one for a home tutor to a young child
Lastly, you should prepare for the job interview. If an employer is interested in hiring you, they may ask you for an interview. Before the interview, prepare for some questions that the interviewer is likely to ask you, such as why you want the position and what relevant skills you have. On the day of the interview, bring printed copies of your CV and application letter in case the employer wants to review them. You should also wear a professional outfit and try to be positive and friendly during your interview.
