Paper: What it is used for1 We use paper to make many things. This book is made of paper!

Newspapers, magazines, money, cards, boxes, and toilet paper are also made from paper. Paper comes from the wood of trees like pine trees and fir trees. The trunks of the trees are cut into logs.How it is made

2 Paper is made in factories called paper mills. First, machines take the bark of the logs. Then they cut the logs into big pieces of wood to use for building. The small pieces of wood that are left are used to make paper. A machine breaks up the small pieces of wood into tiny pieces. These tiny pieces are called fibres.

3 Machines mix the fibres with chemicals and water to make pulp. The wet pulp is put on a big sieve so the water can drain out. Then big rollers push more water out of the pulp. The rollers also squash the fibres together to make them flat. Then the flat pulp goes through very hot rollers to dry it. Finally, machines roll up the very long sheets of paper.Paper recycling

4 People cut down millions of trees to make paper. Trees take very long to grow. We should recycle the paper we use, so we can make new paper from used paper. If you soak used paper in water, it will become pulp again. Chemicals wash the old ink out of the paper. We use recycled paper to make products like cardboard boxes, serviettes and newspapers.

Answer the following questions about the passage: TB p.64-651. What did you read about? (choose the correct answer.)

a. How to make a car.b. How to play in a tree.c. How to make paper.
