三、阅读理解。
Tree-planting Day falls on March 12th every year. It's an important festival in China. As students, we usually plant trees on that day.
On Tree-planting Day, my parents take me to go to the park. We often plant a lot of trees in the park. At the start, I can't plant trees. So my parents plant the first tree to show me how to do it. And then they help me plant the second one. I think planting trees is interesting. We have a good time on that day. So do you know how to plant trees? Now let me tell you something about it. First, we dig a hole(挖一个坑) for the tree. And then, we put the tree in the hole. After that, we put earth in the hole. In the end, we water the tree.
As we know, trees can make our cities beautiful and clean. So we plant many trees every year.
