your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness.

One of the more well-known benefits of volunteering is the impact on the community. Volunteering allows
you to connect to your community and make it a better place. Even helping out with the smallest tasks can make
a difference to the lives of people, animals, and organizations in need. And volunteering is a two-way street: It
can benefit you and your family as much as the cause you choose to help. Dedicating your time as a volunteer
helps you make new friends, expand your network, and boost your social skills.

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.
Reducing, reusing, and recycling are simple yet powerful ways to help our environment. When we reduce,
we use less of something. For example, we can reduce our use of plastic by carrying a reusable bag when we go
shopping. This helps to cut down on waste and keeps our planet clean.
Reusing means finding new ways to use old things. Instead of throwing away an old shirt, we can turn it into a
cleaning cloth. We can also reuse containers for storing food or other items. By reusing, we save money and
resources, and we create less waste.
Recycling is turning old items into new ones. We can recycle paper, plastic, glass, and metal. Many
communities have recycling bins where we can put our recyclable items. Recycling helps to save natural resources
and reduces the amount of trash in landfills.
By practicing these three actions, we can make a big difference. Reducing, reusing, and recycling help to
protect our environment and keep it clean for future generations. It's easy to start with small changes in our daily
lives. For example, using a refillable bottle instead of buying bottled water, or turning off lights when we leave
a room.
Every little bit helps. If everyone does their part, we can create a healthier and cleaner planet. Let’s all
remember to reduce, reuse, and recycle every day. Together, we can make the world a better place for everyone.
