三步答题法
A: We all know people and nature are connected. But can you give me an
example of how they are connected?
B: Of course! Last year, I visited a wetland park.The wetland is home to
fish, birds, and many plants. People visit to enjoy the beautiful scenery
and watch the animals. The clean water and fresh air are also good for
nearby villages.
A: That's interesting! How do people help the wetland?
B: They protect it —no litering, no hunting. Some volunteers even plant
trees there. When the wetland is healthy, animals and people both benefit!
