Recycling is a collection, processing, and reuse of materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
Materials ranging from precious metals to broken glass, from old newspapers to plastic spoons, can
be recycled. The recycling process reclaims the original material and uses it in new products.
In general, using recycled materials to make new products costs less and requires less energy than
using new materials. Recycling can also reduce pollution, either by reducing the demand for high-
pollution alternatives or by minimizing the amount of pollution produced during the manufacturing
process.
Paper products that can be recycled include cardboard containers, wrapping paper, and office
paper. The most commonly recycled paper product is newsprint. In newspaper recycling, old
newspapers are collected and searched for contaminants such as plastic bags and aluminum foil.
The paper goes to a processing plant where it is mixed with hot water and turned into pulp in a
machine that works much like a big kitchen blender. The pulp is screened and filtered to remove
smaller contaminants. The pulp then goes to a large vat where the ink separates from the paper
fibers and fl oats to the surface. The ink is skimmed off, dried and reused as ink or burned as boiler
fuel. The cleaned pulp is mixed with new wood fibers to be made into paper again.
Experts estimate the average office worker generates about 5 kg of wastepaper per month. Every
ton of paper that is recycled saves about 1.4 cu m (about 50 cu ft) of landfill space. One ton of
recycled paper saves 17 pulpwood trees (trees used to produce paper).

Artinya
Daur ulang adalah pengumpulan, pemrosesan, dan penggunaan ulang bahan yang seharusnya
dibuang. Bahan mulai dari logam mulia hingga pecahan kaca, dari koran bekas hingga sendok
plastik, dapat didaur ulang. Proses daur ulang mengambil kembali bahan asli dan menggunakannya
dalam produk baru.
Secara umum, menggunakan bahan daur ulang untuk membuat produk baru lebih murah dan
membutuhkan lebih sedikit energi daripada menggunakan bahan baru. Daur ulang juga dapat
mengurangi polusi, baik dengan mengurangi permintaan untuk alternatif polusi tinggi atau dengan
meminimalkan jumlah polusi yang dihasilkan selama proses manufaktur.

Produk kertas yang dapat didaur ulang termasuk wadah karton, kertas kado, dan kertas kantor.
Produk kertas yang paling sering didaur ulang adalah kertas koran. Dalam daur ulang koran,
koran bekas dikumpulkan dan dicari kontaminan seperti kantong plastik dan aluminium foil.
Makalah ini pergi ke pabrik pengolahan yang dicampur dengan air panas dan berubah menjadi
bubur dalam mesin yang berfungsi seperti blender dapur besar. Pulp diputar dan disaring untuk
menghilangkan kontaminan yang lebih kecil. Pulp kemudian pergi ke tong besar di mana tinta
memisahkan dari serat kertas dan oat-oat ke permukaan. Tinta ini dilepas, dikeringkan dan
digunakan kembali sebagai tinta atau dibakar sebagai bahan bakar boiler. Pulp yang dibersihkan
dicampur dengan serat kayu baru untuk dibuat menjadi kertas lagi.
Para ahli memperkirakan rata-rata pekerja kantoran menghasilkan sekitar 5 kg sampah per bulan.
Setiap ton kertas yang didaur ulang menghemat sekitar 1.4 cu m (sekitar 50 cu ft) ruang TPA.
Satu ton kertas daur ulang menyimpan 17 pohon pulp (pohon yang digunakan untuk
memproduksi kertas).

eks Explanation 2
Human body is made up of countless millions of cells. Food is needed to built up new cells and
replace the worn out cells. However, the food that we take must be changed into substances that
can be carried in the blood to the places where they are needed. This process is called digestion.
The first digestive process takes place in the mouth. The food we eat is broken up into small pieces
by the action of teeth, mixed with saliva, a juice secreted by glands in the mouth. Saliva contains
digestive juice which moisten the food, so it can be swallowed easily.
From the mouth, food passes through the esophagus (the food passage) into the stomach. Here, the
food is mixed with the juices secreted by the cells in the stomach for several hours. Then the food
enters the small intestine. All the time the muscular walls of the intestine are squeezing, mixing and
moving the food onwards.
In a few hours, the food changes into acids. These are soon absorbed by the villi (microscopic
branch projections from the intestine walls) and passed into the bloodstream.

Artinya
Tubuh manusia terdiri dari jutaan sel yang tak terhitung jumlahnya. Makanan dibutuhkan untuk
membangun sel-sel baru dan menggantikan sel yang sudah usang. Namun, makanan yang kita
ambil harus diubah menjadi zat yang dapat dibawa dalam darah ke tempat-tempat di mana mereka
dibutuhkan. Proses ini disebut pencernaan.
Proses pencernaan pertama terjadi di mulut. Makanan yang kita makan dipecah menjadi potongan-
potongan kecil oleh aksi gigi, dicampur dengan air liur, jus yang dikeluarkan oleh kelenjar di mulut.
Air liur mengandung jus pencernaan yang melembabkan makanan, sehingga dapat ditelan dengan
mudah.

Dari mulut, makanan melewati esophagus (bagian makanan) ke dalam perut. Di sini, makanan
dicampur dengan jus yang disekresikan oleh sel-sel di lambung selama beberapa jam. Kemudian
makanan memasuki usus kecil. Sepanjang waktu dinding otot usus meremas, mencampur dan
menggerakkan makanan ke depan.
Dalam beberapa jam, makanan berubah menjadi asam. Ini segera diserap oleh vili (proyeksi cabang
mikroskopis dari dinding usus) dan masuk ke ali
ran darah.

Teks Explanation 3
Have you ever wondered how people get chocolate from? In this article we’ll enter the amazing
world of chocolate so you can understand exactly what you’re eating.
Chocolate starts with a tree called the cacao tree. This tree grows in equatorial regions, especially in
places such as South America, Africa, and Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size
of a small pine apple. Inside the fruit are the tree’s seeds, also known as cocoa beans.
The beans are fermented for about a week, dried in the sun and then shipped to the chocolate
maker. The chocolate maker starts by roasting the beans to bring out the flavour. Different beans
from different places have different qualities and flavor, so they are often sorted and blended to
produce a distinctive mix. Next, the roasted beans are winnowed. Winnowing removes the meat nib
of the cacao bean from its shell. Then, the nibs are blended. The blended nibs are ground to make it
a liquid. The liquid is called chocolate liquor. It tastes bitter. All seeds contain some amount of fat,
and cacao beans are not different. However, cacao beans are half fat, which is why the ground nibs
form liquid. It’s pure bitter chocolate.

Artinya
Pernahkah Anda bertanya-tanya bagaimana orang mendapatkan cokelat? Dalam artikel ini kita akan
memasuki dunia cokelat yang luar biasa sehingga Anda dapat memahami apa yang Anda makan.
Cokelat dimulai dengan sebatang pohon yang disebut pohon kakao. Pohon ini tumbuh di daerah
khatulistiwa, terutama di tempat-tempat seperti Amerika Selatan, Afrika, dan Indonesia. Pohon
kakao menghasilkan buah seukuran buah pinus kecil. Di dalam buah adalah biji pohon, juga dikenal
sebagai biji kakao.
Kacang difermentasi selama sekitar satu minggu, dikeringkan di bawah sinar matahari dan
kemudian dikirim ke pembuat cokelat. Pembuat cokelat dimulai dengan memanggang kacang untuk
mengeluarkan rasa. Biji yang berbeda dari tempat yang berbeda memiliki kualitas dan rasa yang
berbeda, sehingga mereka sering disortir dan dicampur untuk menghasilkan campuran yang khas.
Selanjutnya, biji panggang sudah ditampi. Memenangkan menghilangkan nib daging biji kakao dari
cangkangnya. Kemudian, nibs diblender. Nibs dicampur tanah untuk membuatnya cair. Cairan ini
disebut minuman coklat. Rasanya pahit. Semua biji mengandung sejumlah lemak, dan biji kakao
tidak berbeda. Namun, biji kakao setengah gemuk, itulah mengapa biji tanah membentuk cairan. Ini
coklat pahit murni.

Teks Explanation 4
What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a food-making process that occurs in green plants. It is
the chief function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means putting together with light. Green plants
use energy from light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and other chemical
compounds.
How is the light used in photosynthesis?
The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-
making cell in a plant leaf contains chlorophyll in small bodies called chloroplasts. In chloroplast,
light energy causes water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.
What are the steps of photosynthesis process? Let me tell you the process of photosynthesis, in a
series of complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air, forming a
simple sugar. Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the process. From sugar together with
nitrogen, sulphur, and phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins,
and other complex compounds essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is
needed to produced these compounds.
Artinya
Apa itu fotosintesis? Fotosintesis adalah proses pembuatan makanan yang terjadi pada tanaman
hijau. Ini adalah fungsi utama dari daun. Kata fotosintesis berarti menyatu dengan cahaya. Tanaman
hijau menggunakan energi dari cahaya untuk menggabungkan karbon dioksida dan air untuk
membuat gula dan senyawa kimia lainnya.
Bagaimana cahaya yang digunakan dalam fotosintesis?
Cahaya yang digunakan dalam fotosintesis diserap oleh pigmen hijau yang disebut klorofil. Setiap
sel pembuatan makanan di daun tanaman mengandung klorofil dalam tubuh kecil yang disebut
kloroplas. Dalam kloroplas, energi cahaya menyebabkan air yang diambil membentuk tanah untuk
terpecah menjadi hidrogen dan oksigen.
Apa langkah-langkah proses fotosintesis? Biarkan saya memberi tahu Anda proses fotosintesis,
dalam serangkaian langkah rumit, hidrogen bergabung dengan karbon dioksida dari udara,
membentuk gula sederhana. Oksigen dari molekul air dilepaskan dalam proses. Dari gula bersama
dengan nitrogen, sulfur, dan fosforus dari tanaman hijau-tanah dapat membuat pati, lemak, protein,
vitamin, dan senyawa kompleks lainnya penting untuk kehidupan. Fotosintesis menyediakan energi
kimia yang diperlukan untuk menghasilkan senyawa-senyawa ini.

A. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to produced these compounds.
B. Water drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.
C. Food-making process that occurs in green plants.
D. Phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and other complex
compounds essential for life.
E. Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the process.
