A short speech on trees (Classes 3 to 5)

Good morning, everyone. What gives us fresh air, fruits, shade and homes for birds, and asks for nothing in return? A tree!

Trees clean our air, bring rain and stop the soil from washing away. Many medicines, the paper in our books and the wood in our desks come from trees.

But every year, many trees are cut down. If we lose trees, we lose clean air and water. So let us plant a tree, water it and protect it. As the saying goes, plant a tree and grow a future. Thank you.
