Read this excerpt from a speech about the need for recycling: as you can see, recycling has many positive results. to achieve these great results for our planet, everyone needs to contribute, and school is one place to start. if you think about it, a school uses a lot of paper. just think of how many worksheets, tests, and sheets of notebook paper you have used this week. if you counted every piece of paper that you used in one week, you might be in for a big surprise. what is more surprising is the actual time it takes to recycle. you might think that recycling takes a lot of time and effort. that is simply not the case. think about how many boxes of computer and copy paper your school uses. once those boxes are empty, ask your teacher or school secretary if you can use them for a recycling project. write the word recycle in big letters with a marker on the side of each box and distribute them in the classrooms in your school. you may want to make one box for paper only and a second box for other items such as soda cans. above the recycle boxes, hang a poster that describes all the items that can be recycled. then, all it takes is a simple phone call to a recycling plant to find out when your recycled materials can be picked up from the school. now that you know all about the benefits of recycling and how easy it is to get started, give it a try! start recycling, and make our planet a better place to live. which of these phrases describes the speaker’s tone? 1) pedantic and cold 2) dull and monotonous 3) aloof and apathetic 4) engaging and persuasive 5) anxious and arrogant
