Main Body

People must put trash into four different bins. These bins are for wet waste, dry waste, bathroom waste, and special waste. Big hotels and schools must also manage their own trash. Delhi has too much trash. Some trash goes to the ground in landfills. The city is working with a big college called IIT Delhi to fix this. They will use digital maps to find where the trash is. The city has a big plan for five years. They want to help the people who collect trash by giving them official jobs. However, some new local laws are not ready yet.

Conclusion

πŸ—‘οΈ THE 'THING' LIST

In the story, we see how to name items. At A2 level, you need to connect a general word to a specific type.

The Pattern: General Word + Specific Word β†’ One Clear Item

Examples from the text:

  • Waste (General) + Wet (Specific) β†’ Wet waste
  • Waste (General) + Dry (Specific) β†’ Dry wasten* Waste (General) + Special (Specific) β†’ Special waste
  • Rules (General) + New (Specific) β†’ New rules
  • Jobs (General) + Official (Specific) β†’ Official jobs

πŸ’‘ Why this helps you: Instead of just saying "trash," you add one word before it to be precise. This is how you move from basic English to A2 English.
