The importance of plants (3 aspects)
Things you plan to do
Useful expressions
Without plants, ... will / won’t...

Please write your plan for Planting Day based on the discussion and the information above.

use the simple future tense to describe the things to do? (“will” and “be going to”)
use the words from the reading passage and the useful expressions?
Please check. Did you:
I’m going to plant three trees because they can influence the climate, the animals, and the people. Firstly, trees can make the air cleaner and stop the soil from being washed away. Secondly, animals need them to live and eat. As a result, without plants, the natural world will become very different.
Also, I’m going to make a “Green Corner” for our classroom. Plants mean a lot to people, so we should do all that is useful for nature.
