Use the information from the text to help you come up with a strong argument. Aluminium is the second most widely used metal in the world today (iron is the first). It is used in all sorts of human-made objects, including aircraft, buildings, fridges, knives and forks, air conditioners, and cans. Aluminium doesn’t come out of the ground as a solid metal. It is found as bauxite. Bauxite needs to be processed to turn it into aluminium. Aluminium is a finite resource, meaning that the aluminium in the ground will one day run out. This is why it is important to save aluminium when we can. Aluminium is pretty simple to recycle and can be recycled over and over again. Two out of three of the cans used in Australia are recycled, although there is still plenty of room for improvement with over 1 billion cans ending up in landfill each year. Recycling aluminium also saves loads of energy when compared to making it from scratch. In fact each single can that is recycled saves enough electricity to run a TV for 3 hours! So how should aluminium be recycled? Cans should be empty and foil should be free from food scraps before putting them in recycling bins (they don’t need to be spotless). If you are out, remember to bring home your cans, foil or trays to recycle at home.] We must recycle cans because of the animals. Ask yourself do you think animals know what cans are. Did you know aluminium is pretty easy to recycle. Two out of three cans are recycled but wouldn't be easy to make that three out of three.

Edit the following Information text about Green Waste. There is a spelling error on each line and 10 commas missing.

Green waste is made up of garden waste food scraps and would waste. All green waste can be composted, yet around 54% of all rubbish sent to landfills consists of green waste. Households can recycle their organic waste, such as food scraps and garden clippings, at home by using a composting heap or worm farm. In fact anything which was once alive can be put into a worm farm. Things like meat and vegetable scraps, material, string paper, garden clippings, leaves and fruit scraps can all be composted. The benefit of recycling organic waste is that it can be used to improve infertile soils. Compost added to soil can greatly improve soil affected by erosion salinity and ova farming. Brown organic waste can be turned into mulch, for the garden. Mulching the garden reduces water evaporation and saves about 75% of required watering. It also stops weeds invading the garden. For a country facing lower water levels each year and with a focus on water consumption reduction mulching seams like an effective way to help prevent both water usage and waste.

**Computer Facts**

Enjoy some great computer facts and interesting information about these amazing devices which play such an important role in our modern day lives.

Early electronic computers, developed around the 1940s, were the size of a large room and consumed huge amounts of electricity. They were vastly different to the modern computers we use today, especialy when compared to small and portable laptop computers.

Computers are programed to carry out instructions. These instructions are usually verry simple and require adding numbers together moving data from one place to another etc.

A computer program can include as little as a few instructions to up wards of millions of instructions depending on the complexity of the program. Modern applications such as word processors, web browsers and graphick editors take large teams of programmers a long time to complete.

A computers memory stores numbers in huge amounts of cells that are addressed and can be quickly accessed by the cpu to perform calculations. There are to main types of computer memory, rom (read only memory) and ram (random access memory). Rom contains pre-written software and data that the cpu can only read, while ram can be accessed and written to at any theme.

Computers are used to help link the world in the form of networks. Networked computers allow users to share and exchange data that is stored in different locations. Ewe may have heard of a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) which connects areas of various sizes. The Internet is a vast network of computers spanning the globe that allows users to access email, the World Wide Web and other applications.

Although we normally think of computers as the ones we use in our everyday lives to surf the web, right documents etc, small computers are also embedded into other things such as mobile phones toys microwaves and MP3 players. We use computers all the time, often without even knowing it.
