You’ve heard the saying that what one man considers to be trash can be another man’s treasure. This is very true and it is for this reason that consignment stores and pawnshops make such a roaring trade. If you have something in your house that is of value you will want to hold on to it. However, not every valuable thing remains useful forever, at some point you will replace this with something else. Over time you might find yourself        with so            much stuff that           is valuable but not useful for you. Instead of hoarding things you know longer need, why not clear it out. Look for a pawn shop near you to sell your stuff to.

Pawn shops can help you get rid of stuff or get more stuff that you actually need for a cheaper price. Brisbane pawnbrokers are more than happy to look at the stuff that you have to sell, more particularly the stuff that they know they can resell for a much higher price and make a killing like gold jewelry.

People love pawnshops because they have a wide selection of items. The stuff that people bring to pawn or sell ends up on the shop floor.      Because the people who use various valuable items to pawn, pawn shops are very eclectic in what they can offer their customers. The stores cater to a variety of tastes and a variety of budgets too.

A beach cleanup event is a community-driven effort where volunteers gather to remove litter and debris from a coastline. As the sun rises over the horizon, casting a golden glow on the water, groups of people armed with gloves and trash bags spread out along the sandy shore. The rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the shore serves as a backdrop to the hustle and bustle of activity. Volunteers carefully pick up discarded items—plastic bottles, food wrappers, and fragments of fishing nets—buried in the sand or washed up by the tide.

The salty breeze carries the scent of the ocean, mingled with the faint odor of seaweed. Seagulls circle above, occasionally swooping down to investigate the commotion. Conversations among volunteers are light-hearted, yet focused, as they exchange stories and discuss the importance of keeping the environment clean. Every piece of trash collected is a small victory, reducing the harm to marine life and improving the beauty of the natural landscape.

As the hours pass, the beach slowly transforms from a litter-strewn stretch of sand into a pristine paradise, with clear water lapping against the now-clean shore. At the end of the day, the volunteers gather to weigh the collected trash, tallying the impact of their efforts. The beach cleanup leaves everyone with a sense of accomplishment, knowing they've made a tangible difference in preserving the beauty of the coastline and protecting the delicate ecosystems that call it home.

     Descriptive Text is a text which says what a person or a thing is like. Its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular person, place, or thing. In a broad sense, description, as explained by Kane (2000: 352), is defined like in the following sentence: Description is about sensory experience—how something looks, sounds, tastes. Mostly it is about visual experience, but description also deals with other kinds of perception. But in particular, the descriptive text is, “…… is a text which says what a person or a thing is like. Its purpose is to describe and reveal a particular person, place, or thing.” So, it can be said that this descriptive text is a text that explains about whether a person or an object is like, whether its form, its properties, its amount and others.

 Marine Debris

Our ocean is filled with items that do not belong there. Huge amounts of plastics, metals, rubber, paper, textiles, lost fishing gear, abandoned boats, and other items enter the marine environment every day. All of these are marine debris, which is anything human-made and solid that is lost or littered in the ocean or Great Lakes. Our trash has been found in every corner of our ocean, from the most remote shorelines, to ice in the Arctic, and even the deepest parts of the sea floor.

Marine debris comes from littering, poor waste management practices, stormwater discharge, and extreme natural events like tsunamis and hurricanes. Whether it is properly thrown away or dumped on purpose, debris from land can find its way into our ocean and Great Lakes. This could happen at the beach, while boating on the water, or even many miles inland where trash can be blown and swept into waterways.

Marine debris is a global problem. It is very difficult to say how much debris enters the ocean and Great Lakes. Once marine debris is in the ocean, it is challenging to understand where it came from, where it goes, or how much is there.

A study in 2016 estimated that as much as 23 million metric tons of plastic waste entered the ocean and waterways around the world. That is the equivalent of more than 150,000 blue whales in a single year! This number may feel huge, but it’s not the whole picture. It doesn’t include marine debris items not made of plastic or ocean-based marine debris, such as lost fishing gear and vessels.

Marine debris can also come from ocean-based sources, like trash, fishing gear, and other items lost off of boats or platforms at sea.

Some of the most common and harmful types of marine debris are made of plastic, such as cigarette butts, plastic bags, food wrappers, and lost fishing gear. Marine debris can range from tiny plastic pieces that can be too small to be seen with the human eye, to huge abandoned boats, construction materials, and household appliances. Although some of these items may eventually break down, plastics may remain in the environment forever.

1.    What things belong to marine debris?

2.    What is the difference between marine debris and marine pollution?

The purpose of a procedure text is to provide sequenced information or directions so that people can successfully perform activities in safe, efficient  and appropriate ways. procedure writing is also referred to as a process analysis essay. Recipes and science experiments are common examples of procedure texts.   They use headings and sub-headings that can be structured in the following manner. 

Some common forms of procedure texts are: 1. Directions. How do I get somewhere? Very specific instructions including location names and titles. Formal language is required and the addition of a map will make your instructions so much easier to understand. 

2. Instructions. How do I do something? Your language must meet the needs of your audience and you may need to include a diagram if there are complex elements to complete. 

3. Recipes. How do I cook something? Recipes are a universal text. There is a very clear expectation of the audience so never stray from the essentials. Ingredients, methods and a few visuals are essential.

4. Rules for games. How do I play this? Be conscious of your audience and write in a style and language they will understand. You are almost guaranteed to require visuals in this style of writing.

5. Manuals. How do I operate this? Are there any warnings I need to be aware of before proceeding? Be very specific in your explanation.

 6. Agendas. What are we doing? When are we doing it? Who is responsible?

Procedure text structure: 

- Heading (Title); indicate the goal or aim of your procedure. 

- Section; keep everything organized and in order.
