Tips to Separate Rubbish
There are some tips on how to separate rubbish at home. The most simple
way to separate your rubbish is by categorizing them into two types.
First, you can collect organic rubbish. Examples of organic rubbish are
food scrap, leaves, plants and soil. They can go into the composter. They
are good to use as fertilizer. Second, you should collect non-organic
rubbish. The materials that belong in this category are paper, plastic,
cardboard, metal and fabric. Before we throw them into the recycle bin,
we should clean them. Then, they can be recycled into new products.

Section 4 – Language Focus
a. Imperative sentences
Imperative sentence is a sentence that expresses instruction,
warning, command, request, or invitation.
There are two main categories: positive and negative imperative
sentences.
In positive imperative, we use the base verb.
Example:
“Collect the organic rubbish!”
It means we want someone to collect the rubbish.
The negative imperative sentences tell someone not to do
something.
Example: “
Do not forget to wash your hands!”
or
“Don’t forget to wash your hands!”
It means we want someone to not forget to wash their hands.
In this sentence, we want someone to not forget to wash their
hands.
b. Read the text in Section 3 again, and underline the imperative
expressions.
