Activity 1 – BIG Questions
Please answer the following in your Common-Place books using full sentences (each one will require a short paragraph!)

My suggestion is you talk to someone with more experienced (i.e. your parents) before completing your answers.

paper, industrial and commercial machinery, chemical products (oil!)
