Phần II. Reading – 3,0 điểm
Mia and a student team examined two recycling labels. Their purpose was to reduce sorting mistakes. During the first observation, some items went into the wrong bin. Instead of treating that result as final, the team introduced icons plus short text. In the next observation, sorting mistakes decreased. The students recorded the conditions of each trial so that later comparisons would not rely on memory alone.
