Team Time

Write a Story

1. Write a story about a plant that is in danger. Write about how you might help to save it. Be sure the story has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Answer.

One evening I saw a plant which was almost getting killed. I asked my neighbour what was happening, they said the plants were in the middle of the street where the workers wanted to chop them off and lay the roads. Hearing this made me feel very sad. Then I made a plan to save the plants from the cruel people. I asked my father to speak to the area corporator so that they don’t let the cutting of plants does not take place. Since plants are very useful and provide oxygen for us to breathe, which is very necessary for survival, they should not be cut down. Hence, the corporator realized the mistake and did not allow it to be cut down. I felt very happy with the decision, and the plants survived.

Prepare a Speech

Prepare a speech giving some reasons why it is important to protect flowers and plants. Include ways that you could help protect endangered plants in your school.

Answer.

Respected teachers and my dear friends!

Flowers and plants are a very important part of our life. Without plants and trees, we cannot survive. It provides us with fresh air for breathing. Medicinal plants are useful in making medicines. Plants give us fruits as well. We must protect them from being cut down. Hence we should plant more numbers of plants and trees so that, in turn, they will provide oxygen for us to survive.

There are some ways to protect our flowers and plants:

Keep the surrounding area of the plants clean.

Protect the plants from being eaten by animals and birds.

Take care of the plant in every aspect.
