Let Us Plant Trees

Trees are our friends. They give

us shade. They protect us from the
rain and the sun. Many trees give
us fruits to eat. Some of them are
mango, santol, and durian. Others
are caimito, mabolo, duhat, and
chico. These fruits taste good. They
make us healthy and strong, too.
Some trees have pretty flowers.
They come in many colors - red,
white, yellow, and violet. Trees give
us wood. Wood can be made into
chairs, tables, desks, and cabinets.
Wood is all around us. We find it at
home, the playground, the church,
and school. Let us plant trees.
Wood from trees gives us many
things.
 Helpful Bella

Bella loves spending her free

time reading books at the park.
One day, while she was sitting on a
bench, she noticed an old woman
struggling to carry groceries. Bella
immediately ran to her and offered
to help. The old woman was
overjoyed by her heartfelt gesture
and thanked her for being so kind.
From that day forward, Bella made
it a point to always respect her
elders and help them whenever she
could. She quickly realized that not

to the city zoo. They were very
happy and excited. They saw how
big and little birds fly. They also
saw wild tigers and lions. Funny
monkeys played tricks. They made
the children laugh. "Look at the
giraffe. It is tall. Its neck is very
long," said Lito. "I wish I could ride
on its back," said Celso. "Miss Tan, I
want to bring that giraffe home. I
want to buy it!" said Lito. Miss Tan
smiled. She told Lito, "You can't get
the giraffe. Animals in the zoo are
not for sale."

bedrooms, one living room, one
bathroom, and one kitchen. My
brother and I share the same
room in the house. We have a
nice garden. We have planted
many different types of
flowering plants and vegetables
in our garden. We have very
good neighbors.

I have a small garden in our

backyard. In my free time, I
work in the garden. I uproot the
weeds and loosen the soil. I
water the plants regularly. I
nurse the plants with care. I
have a fence around my garden.
I have planted different kinds of
flowers. I usually grow different
vegetables. In the morning, I can
hear the chirping of many birds.
My garden is a source of
pleasure to me.
 My Bedroom
My bedroom
is small, but it
is attractive. It
is the most
comfortable
place in my house. My bed is in
the corner of this room. There
is a guitar next to my bed so I

is a window that overlooks a
tree outside. You can see a
table and a chair next to the
window as my place for study. I
keep my clothes in a small
wardrobe.
