Nature is around us everywhere. It includes trees, flowers, rivers, mountains and all kinds of animals. Looking into nature can bring us joy and knowledge.
Many people love watching wild animals. Birds sing in the trees, little insects climb on leaves, and big whales swim in the sea. Every living thing has its own way of life. Scientists spend years studying their living habits and trying to unlock the secrets of nature.
However, nature is being hurt now. Too many trees are cut down, and lots of rivers are polluted. Some animal species are losing their homes and becoming fewer. Protecting nature is protecting ourselves. We should love nature, study nature and protect it all the time.
26. What does nature include?
A. Only trees B. Plants, rivers and animals
