Text 2: The following text is for questions 18 to 20.

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for skateboarders to
skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active, energetic and adventurous pastime.

Just watch a local street for a short while and note the steady stream of skaters speeding up and
down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and old ladies can be knocked down as they
struggle home carrying their cat food from supermarkets.

Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It increases fitness,
improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and ankles. Although it appears to be a solo
sport, when groups practice together and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm
friendships.

Young people should be prevented from becoming overweight couch potatoes. If they are
actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs or break laws for fun.

Kids will always seek thrills and excitement. They need to practice their 180s, 360s and Ollie’s
free from restrictions. We must build skate parks in the suburbs so that streets are safe for small

Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastics and reprocessing the
material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state.
Typically, a plastic is not recycled into the same type of plastic, and products made from recycled
plastics are often not recyclable. When compared to other materials like glass and metal
materials, plastic polymers require greater processing to be recycled. Plastics have a low entropy
of mixing, which is due to the high molecular weight of their large polymer chains. When different
types of plastics are melted together they tend to phase-separate, like oil and water, and set in
these layers. For some waste plastics, technical devices called recycle bots enable a form of
distributed recycling. Preliminary life-cycle analysis (LCA) indicates that such distributed recycling
of HDPE to make filament of 3D printers in rural regions is energetically favorable to either using
virgin resin or conventional recycling processes because of reductions in transportation energy .

SIMULASI UN BAHASA INGGRIS 12 SMA PRIMAGAMA – 12


The question that remains is which types of plastics can be recycled by local recycling
centers. In many communities, not all types of plastics are accepted for sidewalk recycling
collection programs due to the high processing costs and complexity of the equipment required to
recycle certain materials. There is also sometimes a seemingly low demand for the recycled
product depending on a recycling center's proximity to entities seeking recycled materials.
Another major barrier is that the cost to recycle certain materials and the corresponding market
price for those materials sometimes does not present any opportunity for profit. The best
example of this is polystyrene (commonly called Styrofoam), although some communities, like
Brookline, Massachusetts, are moving toward banning the distribution of polystyrene containers
by local food and coffee businesses.

43. What is plastic recycling mean?


A. The process of how to make a bottle of plastic.

E. low demand for the recycled product depending on a recycling center's

the Wali dance, which is usually performed during processions. Meanwhile, the Topeng
Sidhakarya dance and Gambuh and Wayang Wong dance dramas are part of the Bebali dance,

Ket dances are a representation of the Balih-Balihan dance that serves social and entertainment
purposes.
The Wali dance is said to have originated between the eighth and 14th centuries. The
Bebali dance and Balih-Balihan dances are believed to have come from the 14th-19th century and
19th centuries, respectively.
