2 What does “wood wide web” mean
1. Personification. It can make descriptions more vivid.
2. “wood wide web” refers to an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. It is linked underground by fungi and this fungal network links the roots of different plants to each other. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other.
Think & Share
3 What do you think are the benefits of studying plant communication
4 What secrets do the two reading passages in this unit reveal and what do they have in common
3. It will help us know more about the world of plants and then get a better understanding of the secret of nature and encourage us to explore more about the mysterious nature. What’s more, it will teach us an important lesson, that is, human should live in harmony with mother nature. And it is our responsibility to fulfill the mission.
4. Passage 1 reveals the secret of evolution and Passage 2 reveals the secret of communication between plants. They all reflect that there are numerous secrets in nature that are waiting to be explored.
Activity 4
1 Read the passage again and talk about how plants communicate.
2 Think about and discuss the following ways of communication in the animal world. What other ways can you think of
Bees “dance” to signal to other bees that they have found food.
Ants communicate with each other through touch, chemical signals, moving their bodies and even using their legs to make sounds.
3 Organise your ideas following the steps below.
Begin with what living things you have chosen to talk about.
Explain how they communicate and give examples.
Conclude by explaining what we have learnt from their behaviour.
4 Give a talk to the class about communication between living things.
Work in groups.
Now talk about how well you contributed to your group discussion and help each other to make improvements.
