Think and write
1e
Imagine you are the writer. Write one more paragraph about bees and add it to the text.
solution
We students can do simple but useful things to protect bees. First, plant easy-growing flowers like sunflowers or daisies in our school garden or home balcony—they give bees nice food. Second, never swat bees if we see them; just stay calm and walk away. Also, tell our families not to use harmful pesticides. We can even put a small bowl of water with stones (for bees to stand on) outside. Every little act adds up to help these hard workers stay safe.

Think and answer
Read the following question and answer it.
What do you know about the connection between humans and other insects, such as ants and butterflies
Humans and ants have important links. Ants clean our homes and yards by taking small dead bugs and trash away. They also dig holes in soil—these let air and water reach plant roots, helping plants grow better (some give us food or shade). Some ants even drive away bad bugs that hurt plants. All these good things from ants make our lives better, showing a helpful connection.

Example
A: We all know people and nature are connected. Can you show me an example
B: Sure! In my grandma’s village, there are fruit trees, like apple trees. Birds love to eat the insects on these trees. Without birds, insects would eat the tree leaves and fruits. Then, we can’t get delicious apples. So birds (animals) help fruit trees (plants), and we (humans) get good fruits to eat. We all need each other!

“angry（生气的）”“disappointed（失望的）”“sad（悲伤的）” 都是描述负面情绪的形容词，“smart（聪明的）” 是描述人物特质的形容词，情感色彩不同。
“appear（显得；似乎）”“look（看起来）”“seem（似乎；好像）” 都有 “看起来；似乎” 的意思，侧重于给人的印象或感觉，“watch（观看）” 主要表示 “看；注视” 的动作，语义不同。
“honey（蜂蜜）”“milk（牛奶）”“juice（果汁）” 都属于饮品，“bread（面包）” 属于食物，类别不同，所以 “bread” 是不同类的。

The Amazing Journey of Arctic Terns
Arctic terns are small birds with a big adventure. Every year, they travel from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back—this is the longest migration of any animal on Earth. The round trip can be over 70,000 kilometers!
Why do they make such a long journey In summer, the Arctic is full of daylight, and there are plenty of insects for them to eat. They lay their eggs there. When winter comes, the Arctic gets dark and cold, so the terns fly south to the Antarctic, where it is summer and food is still easy to find.
The journey is not easy. They must fly over oceans and deserts, facing strong winds and hungry predators. But Arctic terns are smart. They follow the sun and stars to find their way. They also fly in groups to stay safe.
Scientists are amazed by these birds. Their bodies are built for long flights—they have strong wings and light bones. Even young terns can make the journey without their parents guiding them. This amazing ability has helped them survive for millions of years.
