Scientists don’t know how many
plants there are, but they think that there are more than 300,000 types! (P.4)
This time, I’m going to introduce
everybody a book about plants. There are more than 300,000 types of plants in
the world but scientists think that there are more plants that we don’t know
about yet. Do you know that the first plants grew in the water more than two
billion years ago? It took hundreds of million of years for plants to change
and to grow on the ground. What seasons do you like the best? Now season is
fall, and autumn colors of plants is very beautiful. The leaves change to
yellow, orange, or red. And in winter, there are no leaves on most trees. In
summer, plants make lots of food because there is lots of sunlight. And
different plants have different habitats. Some plants need sun, and other
plants need shade. Most plants can’t grow in very dry, cold, or wet places. But
the cactus can grow in hot, dry places like deserts. Its roots are near the top
of the ground so it can take in water quickly. There are many people who take
cactus plants as a potted plant with beautiful leaves in houses. I want to try
it after I read this book. Next, I want to introduce everybody two amazing
plants. One is a Venus Flytrap. Most plants don’t need to eat insects, but the
Venus Flytrap eats insects. Two is a Titan Arum. It is one of the smelliest
plants in the world. Moreover it smells like bad meat so that the Titan Arum is
the terrible smell. But I want to try smelling it.
Lastly, we have to save our
plants. Our clothes, books, and many other things come from plants. Lots of our
doors, chairs, and tables are made of wood. Sometimes there is plant plastic in
our cell phones, computers, or even our socks. In the rainforest, people cut
down trees, and Earth loses hundreds of different types of plant forever. As a
result, pollution is another danger and it puts dangerous chemicals into the
soil and these are bad for plants. We have to use paper carefully and use all
the paper and recycle it. We have to struggle them in our life every day. Thank
you for reading!
