Why are trees important?
为什么树是重要的?
Trees are important. We need trees because they can
give us fresh air. Fresh air is good for our health. Doing

exercise in parks with lots of trees keeps us healthy. Fresh
air makes us feel energetic too. Animals also need trees.
They are homes for birds. Birds build nests in trees as
resting places. Trees are also important homes for other
animals, such as monkeys, squirrels and koalas.
Trees are useful. We get wood from trees and we use
it to make paper. We need paper to write letters and print books. We can also use
wood to build houses and make furniture. Trees can also give us fruit. A lot of fruit
grows on trees, such as apples, lemons, oranges and bananas. Eating fruit is good
for our body.
We should protect trees and make the Earth better.

【分析】
对于第一题完成思维导图，首先要通读全文，明确文章分为树木的重要性（important）和实用性（useful）两大板块。然后对应思维导图的空缺位置，从文中找到相关关键词：树木的核心属性是important；木材可以用来制作paper、建造houses、制作furniture，将这些关键词填入对应位置即可。
第二题回答问题，第一问需从文中提取树木给予我们的事物，文中提到新鲜空气、木材、水果，整合这些信息作答；第二问根据文章结尾“我们应该保护树木”的观点，判断不能砍伐太多树木，给出否定回答。
第三题写短文，首先确定文章结构：开头点明保护环境是我们的责任，中间列举具体的环保行动（如绿色出行、节约资源、使用环保袋等），结尾发出呼吁。注意内容要贴合主题，字数不少于40词，使用正确的英语句式表达。
【解析】
一、完成思维导图：
1. 通读文章，开头明确提到“Trees are important”，对应思维导图第一空填important；
2. 根据文中“We get wood from trees and we use it to make paper”，第二空填paper；
3. 由“We can also use wood to build houses”，第三空填houses；
4. 根据“make furniture”，第四空填furniture。
二、回答问题：
1. 从文中提取树木给予我们的事物：fresh air（新鲜空气）、wood（木材）、fruit（水果），整合为“They can give us fresh air, wood and fruit.”；
2. 文章最后提到“We should protect trees”，说明不能砍伐太多树木，所以回答“No, we can't.”。
三、书面表达：
采用“总-分-总”结构：
开头：点明保护环境是责任“It's our duty to protect the environment.”；
中间：列举具体环保行动，如绿色出行、不践踏草坪、使用布袋、节约水电等；
结尾：发出呼吁“Let's do something to protect our environment.”，确保内容连贯，字数达标。
