What are the uses of paper? Paper is used for newspapers, books, writing paper, envelopes, wrapping paper, paper bags... Yes. Only half of the paper that is made is used for books and newspapers. Have you got an idea about other uses of paper? No, I'm afraid not. There are many other uses. Paper is very good for keeping you warm. Houses are often insulated with paper. You have perhaps seen homeless people asleep on a large number of newspapers. Yes, I have. So they are insulating themselves against the cold. You are right. In Finland, it is very cold in winter. It is sometimes 40 degrees below zero centigrade. The farmers wear paper boots in the snow. Nothing could be warmer. Oh, that's unbelievable. 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. With paper boots and shoes, you can wear paper hats, paper dresses and paper raincoats. When you have used them once, you throw them away and buy new ones. You know the latest in paper seems to be paper houses. These are not small houses for children to play in, but real, big houses for people to live in. You can put one up yourself in a few hours, and you can use it for about five years. Fascinating. People have made paper boats, but they have not yet made paper planes or cars. Just wait, they probably will. Well, I'm sure your tutorial will go really well.
