Plants and animals are closely connected with us in many ways. Plnts provide us with oxygen, food, medicine, and materials for shelter and clothing. Animals offer us companionship, help with transportation and labor, and also play crucial roles in ecosystems that support our survival, like pollination and nutrient cycling. We depend on them for our daily lives and the balance of nature.

1. Another title could be: The Most Important Animal on the Planet.
2. I know there are around 30,000 species of bee around tthe world.
3. Just like bees, ants and other insects also play an important role in maintaining ecostyems that we all repy on. They help to people grow food, and they teach us new ideas.
U4, G8, A
We can all help protect bees! First, we can plant flowers. Bees need flowers for food. We can plant different flowers, like lavender(薰衣草), sunflowers, or daisies(雏菊). These flowers give bees food all summer. Second, avoid chemicals like weed killers. They can harm bees. We can also make "bee hotels". Bees can hive and rest there. Then, we can give bees water too. Put a shallow dish of water outside with some stones in it. The stones help bees drink safely. Finally, we can buy local honey. This helps beekeepers who take good care of their bees. Doing these things makes life safer for bees.
U4, G8, A
A: We all know that people and nature are connected. But can you give an example of how they are connected?
B: Of course! Last year, I visited a wetland park. The wetland is home to fish, birds, and many plants. People visit to enjoy the beautiful scenery and watch the animals. The clean water and fresh air are also good for nearby villages.
A: That's interesting! How do people help the wetland?
B: They protect it----no littering, no hunting. Some volunteers even plant trees there. When the wetland is healthy, animals and people both benefit!
A: I see! Nature helps us, and we must help nature too.

Did you know I can live up to 90 years? That's about as long as humans! When my life ends in the ocean, my body becomes a super important buffetfor animals living in and around the sea. By helping so many animals xurvive, I keep the ocean happy and healthy. That's why humans need to protect my whale family.

Title: The Cuest Animal--Red Panda
Appearance: It has fluffy reddish-brown fur, a long ringed tail, and big roundeyes. It looks like a mix of a cat and a bear but is actually part of its own unique family.
Habitat: Lives in the forests of the Himalayas(Nepal, Bhutan, China, etc.), spending most of its time in trees.
Diet: Mainly eats bamboo, but also enjoys, berries, and sometimes small insects.
Fun Fact: It uses its bushy tail for balance when climbing and as a blanket to stay warm in cold weather!

Habitat: Native to eastern Australia, it lives in freshwater streams and rivers.
Behavior & Diet: It's a semi-aquatic mammal that lays eggs(one of the few mammals to do so!). It hunts for small invertebrates, using electroreceptors in its bill to detect prey underwater.
Fun Fact: Its odd combination of features made scientists initially think it was a hoax when it was first discovered!
Spanish-typeTutle: The Most Amazing Plant-Corpse
Flower(Amorphophallus titanum)
Appearance: It has a massive, dark purple spathe (a large leaf-like structure) and a tall central spadix. When in bloom, it can reach over 3 meters in height.

3.Why chosen: Its large, uniquely holey leaves add a trendy. tropical vibe to any space, making it a favourite in modern home decor.
4.Interesting facts:
The holes in its leaves (fenestrations) help it withstand heavy rain and wind in its native rainforest.
Young plants have no holes-fenestrations develop as the plant matures.
It produces an edible fruit (tasting like pineapple-banana) when ripe, though it rarely fruits indoors.

爱护动植物，因为我们的生存离不开它们。
Question 1
I learned about the Venus flytrap (an amazing plant that can catch insects with its specialized leaves) and the blue whale (the largest animal on Earth, which is truly astonishing).
Question 2
We use the superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs when we want to show that something has the highest degree of a quality among three or more things. For example, when we say "This is the tallest tree in the forest" (tallest is the superlative of "tall"), we're comparing this tree to all other trees in the forest to show it has the most "tallness".
Question 3
Plant: The baobab tree is amazing/ Some baobab trees are thousands of years old and can store a huge amount of water in their trunks, which helps them survive in dry African savannas. Their trunks can even look like giant bottles.
Animal: The chameleon is really cool. It can change the color of its skin to match its surroundings, which helps it hide from predators or sneak up on prey. Also, its eyes can move independently, so it can look in two different directions at the same time!
Question 4
We are connected with plants and animals in many ways. Plants give us oxygen to breathe, food (like fruits, vegetables, and grains), and materials (such as wood for building or cotton for clothes). Animals provide us with food (meat, dairy produvts), help with transportation (like horses in the past), work (like guide dogs for the blind), and even companionship (pets like cats and dogs). Also , all living things are part of ecosystems, and we depend on healthy ecostyems for clean air, water, and a stable environment.
