1. Why is the water from rivers so useful to people?
2. Why does the river say it has “two faces”?
Because everybody can drink it and use it for farming and washing.
Because it can give life and destroy homes and lives as well.
When it floods, nothing can stop it.
Detail rading (para 1 River)
Further thinking:
The river has two faces, how should humans treat it?
protect
respect
破坏,摧毁
What colours do forests usually wear in summer and autumn?
In summer, forests are usually green, and in autumn, they are usually golden brown.
What writing skills does the writer use?
Metaphor (隐喻): It compares two things by saying one is like the other.
Personification: Personification is to give human qualities to non-human things like objects, animals and ideas. It helps make the writing more vivid and interesting. It also helps draw readers' attention.
The writer describes the four landscapes in the first person and give human characteristics or qualities to them.
Contrast (对比): It shows how two things are different.
Hello from different landscapes
I am a river. I have two faces. I give life: my water is fresh water, so everybody can drink it and use it for farming and washing. But I am also very powerful. When I flood, I sometimes destroy homes and lives. Nothing can get in my way.
I am a desert. My body is mostly made of sand and I seldom see rain. I am very hot during the day and very cold at night. Nobody wants to live in such difficult conditions, but a few plants and animals can survive. How amazing!
I am the ocean. I am huge. I cover more than two-thirds of the earth's surface, so people call the earth the "Blue Planet". What a beautiful name! I am home to hundreds of thousands of living things.
I am a forest. I am full of trees, and I produce oxygen for humans and animals to breathe. I wear different colours in different seasons, usually green in summer and golden in autumn.
