M: Last time we talked about the history of paper, but do you know what paper is used for?
W: Oh, that’s an easy question. Paper is used for newspapers, books, writing paper, envelopes, wrapping paper, paper bags...
M: Yes, actually only half of the paper that is made is used for such purposes. Have you got an idea about other uses of paper?
W: No, I’m afraid not.
M: There are many other uses. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. [12] Houses are often prevented against cold by paper. You have perhaps seen homeless people asleep on a large number of newspapers.
W: Yes, I have. So they are preventing themselves against cold.
M: You are right. In Finland, it is very cold in winter. It is sometimes 40 degrees Centigrade below zero. [13] The farmers wear paper boots in the snow. Nothing could be warmer.
W: Oh, that’s unbelievable.
M: Now more and more things are made of paper. We have had paper plates, cups and dishes for a long time. But now we hear that chairs, tables, and even beds can be made of paper.
W: Amazing!
M: [14] People have made paper boats, but they have not yet made paper planes or cars. Just wait, they probably will.
W: Well, you have become an expert on paper. How do you know all that?
M: [15] You know, I’m preparing for a presentation on paper, so I’ve looked up a lot of material.
W: Well, I’m sure your presentation will go really well.
M: Thank you.
