重点探究
1a Listen, look and say.
(Kangkang, Maria and Jane are talking in a room. The wind outside is blowing strongly.)
Maria: What a strong wind!
Kangkang: Yes. But it’s better than the last few years. There were sandstorms before. While I was walking down the street, I couldn’t see anything. The sand really hurt my face.
Maria: Why was the weather so bad
Jane: People cut down too many trees. As a result, a lot of rich land changed into desert. Trees can stop the wind from blowing the earth away.
Kangkang: And a lot of water can be saved by forests.
Jane: Trees can also stop the water from washing the earth away.
