My New Hobby: Gardening

Last spring, I decided I needed a new hobby. I spend most of my days inside, working on a computer, and I wanted to do something outdoors. My friend suggested gardening. At first, I wasn't sure. I live in an apartment with only a small balcony, and I knew nothing about plants. However, I went to a local garden center and bought a few pots, some soil, and seeds for tomatoes and herbs. The man at the shop was very helpful and gave me some great advice. I started by planting the seeds and watering them every day. For the first two weeks, nothing happened, and I was worried I had failed. But then, tiny green shoots started to appear! It was so exciting. Now, my balcony is full of life. It’s hard work sometimes, especially keeping the pests away, but it’s also incredibly relaxing. Picking my own fresh tomatoes for a salad is the best feeling. This hobby has taught me to be more patient, and I love having a green space to enjoy.

Planning a Weekend Trip

Hi Chloe, How are you? I'm writing because I have an idea for a weekend trip next month. I was thinking we could go to Bristol. I've heard it's a really interesting city with a great art scene. I’ve done a little research. We could take the train from London on Friday afternoon, which takes about two hours. For accommodation, there are some affordable hotels near the harbour, or we could try an Airbnb. I'm happy to book something once we decide. On Saturday, we could explore the city, maybe see the Clifton Suspension Bridge and look for some Banksy street art. I'm also keen on visiting the SS Great Britain, which is a historic ship. For the evening, we could find a nice restaurant. On Sunday, maybe we could do some shopping or visit the M Shed museum before we head back in the late afternoon. What do you think? Are you free on the weekend of the 14th-16th? If that date doesn't work, we could look at the following weekend. Let me know if you are interested, and we can start to finalise the plans. I think it would be a fun break! Best, Liam

The Importance of Recycling

Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new materials and objects. It is an essential practice that helps to reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, lower energy usage, and decrease air and water pollution. Many common items we use every day, such as plastic bottles, paper, glass jars, and aluminum cans, can be recycled. The recycling process begins at home. The first step is to separate recyclable items from general waste. Many cities provide special bins for this purpose. Once collected, these materials are taken to a recycling facility where they are sorted, cleaned, and processed into raw materials. For example, old newspapers can be turned back into new paper, and plastic bottles can become anything from clothing to new containers. However, for recycling to be effective, it's important to avoid contamination. This happens when non-recyclable items, like food waste or plastic bags, are mixed in with recyclables. Contamination can ruin a whole batch of materials, making them unusable. Therefore, learning what can and cannot be recycled in your local area is very important. By making a small effort to recycle correctly, we can all contribute to a healthier planet.
