This spring, our teacher encouraged us to plant some trees around our school. Everyone thought it was a great idea, so we started looking online for the best trees to buy. If we wanted them to grow in a proper way, they had to be the right kind—but there were so many different ones to choose! So our teacher suggested that we should look for trees that grew naturally in our part of the world. They'd also be more suitable for the wildlife here.
We learnt that trees were happiest where they had room to grow, with plenty of space for their branches. The trees might get damaged close to the school playgrounds, for example. So we tried to avoid areas where students were very active. Finally, we found a quiet comer close to the school garden — perfect!
Once we had planted the trees, we knew we had to look after them carefully. We all took turns to check the leaves regularly and make sure they had no strange spots or marks on them. And we decided to check the following spring in case the leaves turned yellow too soon, as that could also mean the trees were sick.
We all knew that we wouldn't be at the school anymore by the time the trees grew tall, and bit sad. But we'd planted the trees to benefit not only the environment, but also future students at the school. And that thought really cheered us up!
A. Or that could mean the trees had an illness.
B. But at least we were doing it in the right season.
C. That way, the trees would be used to local conditions.
D. But we noon found that choosing trees was quite difficult.
E. We knew they'd get as much pleasure from them as we had.
F. Then we had to think about the best place for planting the trees.
