How Glass Is Recycled

Glass is unusual. It can be melted and remade for ever without getting any worse. Bottles are first sorted by colour. Clear, green and brown glass have to be kept apart, because you cannot make clear glass from green. The glass is then crushed into small pieces called cullet. Metal lids are pulled out with a magnet. Cullet melts at a lower temperature than the raw materials glass is made from. That means recycling glass uses less energy than making it new. The melted glass is poured into moulds and blown into new bottles.

  1. 1. How would a caption under a photograph of cullet help?
2.Read the text, then answer the questions.

Inside a Fire Engine

A fire engine carries everything a crew might need, because there is no time to go back for anything. It holds about eighteen hundred litres of water. That sounds like a lot, but a hose can empty it in under three minutes, so the crew connect to a hydrant as soon as they can. Ladders are carried on the roof. The longest can reach a third-floor window. Inside are cutting tools for road accidents, breathing sets for smoke, and a thermal camera that finds a hot spot through a wall. The engine is red so that it is seen. The siren is for when being seen is not enough.

  1. 1. How would a labelled photograph help this text?

Set 6. Prints on its own sheet.

  1. 1.1. It would name what the picture shows, so the new word is tied to the thing.
  2. 2.1. It could point at the ladders, the hose and the tools where they actually are on the engine.
