                                Recycled matErials are used separately.
                                                   ReCycling helps the environment.
                                                 RecYcling is the process of transforming materials
The selection of materials for reCycling follows a system of colours.
      Recycling is to reuse materiaLs.
                Recycling is the term gEnerally used to describe the reuse of materials.

No more Bullying!


 
Bullying causes fear, loneliness, dispair and depression. The victims of bullying suffer a lot without protesting.
 
Is there a solution to this problem?
What would you say to someone who is being bullied?
 
Give her/ him some advice (use the modal verbs: can, should, must, mustn't)
  
Some opinions of our 7th grade students
 
In my opinion you should ask for help. You should face your bullies and not be afraid of them. You mustn't be depressed. Be strong.  
  
In my opinion you should ignore the comments. You can talk to your teacher so that she/ he can help you.You must face your bullies and not be afraid of them.
