Then wet your paintbrush with water and color the animal any color you like," the art teacher said. "I'm going to draw my pet dog, Lily." Christina drew her dog on her sketchbook. Then she started to color her pet dog.
A few minutes later, Christina realized that something had gone wrong. "Oh no, what's happening to my picture?" The paints seemed to be spreading all over her sketchbook. She could not clearly see the face of her pet dog anymore. "My sketchbook is wet now. What should I do?" Christina mumbled to herself.
Then her teacher came. "You were supposed to give some time for the paper to dry before you painted with another color," the teacher explained. "I didn't realize that I was using too much water on my sketchbook. Can I try it again? Mrs. Weaver?" Christina asked her teacher, so she could draw a new one.
"Yes, you may try as many times as you want," the teacher said. "I will not make the same mistake again. I will make sure my sketchbook gets all dried this time." Then Christina began drawing her pet dog again.

Read the following passage and decide if the statements are True or False.
If you want to help the environment, it's important to go green. One way to start is by reducing the amount of rubbish you create. You can do this by using reusable containers and wraps instead of disposable ones. Another way is to recycle. Make sure you have a recycling bin at home and pick up any recyclable items you see on the street. You can also exchange items with friends or go to a fair or charity event where people trade items they are not in need. According to the latest news, charity events like this in the US grew 4.2% in the recent year. It's also a good idea to do a survey of your daily habits to see where you can make changes.
