Hello, hello, dear listener, and welcome into IELTS Speaking Part 3, where we're discussing recycling and waste.
What a lovely topic.
Let's get started.
I think it's a good idea for children to wear second-hand clothes.
Usually, yeah, they might not be a perfect fit, but provided they aren't threadbare, then it's a good way to save money.
Can you explain it further?
Yeah, generally these things tend to cost less than things that are in the shop,
so you can probably get by with them just as well.
Unless you need to go to some kind of very posh event, then they might not be suitable.
What do people usually do with unwanted clothes or household items where you live?
I'm not sure, though I'd like to believe they recycle them or hand them down to their siblings or children to use.
We even have recycling centers for clothes, so it would make sense to send them there rather than just chuck them out.
Has that always been true?
I really can't say for sure,
though I suppose everybody wants to believe their countrymen are good and responsible people, don't they?
How can recycling and reusing items help reduce waste?
Well, if you have something already,
then you don't need to get something new and companies don't need to produce as many new things.
