Do you know what upcycling is? It is a creative way to turn old or useless things into something new and useful. Unlike recycling, which breaks things down, upcycling gives old items a new life without destroying them.
For example, you can turn an old T-shirt into a shopping bag. First, cut off the sleeves and the neckline. Then, turn the shirt inside out and sew the bottom. Finally, turn it back the right way. Now you have a strong and fashionable bag!
Another easy idea is to make a pencil holder from a plastic bottle. Cut the bottle in half. Cover the outside with colourful paper or paint it. You can also stick some small decorations on it. It is simple, but it looks great on your desk.
Upcycling is not only fun but also good for the environment. It helps reduce waste and saves money. So next time you want to throw something away, stop and think: can I upcycle this instead?
26. What is upcycling according to the passage?
A. Breaking things down into small pieces.
B. Buying new things to replace old ones.
C. Turning old things into something new and useful.
D. Throwing away useless things to keep the room tidy.
27. What should you do first when making a bag from an old T-shirt?
A. Sew the bottom.
B. Cut off the sleeves and neckline.
C. Turn it inside out.
D. Paint it with colours.
28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a step to make a pencil holder?
A. Cutting the bottle in half.
B. Covering it with paper.
C. Sticking decorations on it.
D. Putting soil and a plant in it.
29. Why is upcycling good for the environment?
A. Because it helps reduce waste.
B. Because it uses expensive materials.
C. Because it makes people buy more things.
D. Because it breaks things down quickly.
30. What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage?
A. To encourage people to try upcycling.

C. To teach people how to sew clothes.

Tom is a 14-year-old boy who loves DIY. Last month, he decided to build a small bookshelf for his bedroom. He asked his father for advice.
"You should measure the space first," his father said. "Then draw a plan. You'd better choose strong wood, or the shelf will not hold many books."
Tom followed his father's advice. He measured the corner of his room carefully and drew a simple plan. Then he went to a DIY store with his father and bought some wood, nails and paint.
The next day, Tom started working. He cut the wood into pieces according to his plan. At first, he made a mistake and cut one piece too short. "Don't give up," his father encouraged him. "You'd better be more careful next time." Tom tried again and finally got it right.
After that, he used glue and nails to put the pieces together. He painted the bookshelf white and decorated it with some stickers. When it was done, Tom felt very proud. "I made it myself!" he said with a big smile.
Now the bookshelf stands in the corner of his room, full of his favourite books. Tom has learned an important lesson: with patience and effort, you can turn a simple idea into something real.

My DIY Experience
Last month, I made a beautiful birthday card for my mother. I wanted to give her a special gift with my own hands.
First, I prepared some coloured paper, a pair of scissors, glue and some stickers. Then, I folded a piece of pink paper in half. Next, I cut out some hearts and flowers from other coloured paper and stuck them on the front of the card. I also wrote "Happy Birthday, Mum! I love you!" inside. Finally, I decorated the card with shiny stickers.
When I gave the card to my mother, she was very happy and moved. She said it was the best gift she had ever received.
From this experience, I learned that DIY is not only fun but also meaningful. It can show our love to others. I really enjoy making things by myself.
