As we all know, trees are useful to humans and animals. They provide wildlife with living places and food. They take in carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) and produce oxygen (氧气). They also make our world more beautiful. Let’s learn about some kinds of trees in the world.
Mulberry trees (桑树)
Mulberry trees come from China. Silkworms like to eat their leaves. Chinese people began to keep these worms and make silk thousands of years ago. In ancient times, the silk went abroad through the Silk Road and made China famous.
Gingko (银杏)
The gingko is from China. The life of a gingko tree can be very long—even thousands of years. In autumn, the gingko leaves turn yellow and look like beautiful small fans.
Eucalyptus(桉树)
The eucalyptus is from Australia. It is one of the most common trees in the country. Australians see the eucalyptus as their national tree. It can grow well in different places. People use it to make paper and build houses.
