asked    interviewed 

 Last week, Tom and Sam watched a TV programme with their class about recycling. 
 Everyone found it really  

  interesting  and it helped them to understand why 

it’s important to recycle. 
 They saw how waste from gardens was  

 

   . 

 They also saw that lots of  

 

  from supermarkets weren’t recycled, so 

everyone agreed it was better not to use them. 
 A famous scientist was 

 3 

 

  in the programme and he talked about the 

problems of recycling. 
 Then viewers of the programme were 

 4 

 

 

 to say how much they 

recycled. 
 After the programme, Tom and Sam’s class agreed that they were throwing away 
too many  

 

  . They decided that in future they will make sure all the 

bottles are  

 

   .
