Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.
Why do plants do it Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all these important things, especially nitrogen (氮).

When the smaller horse goes back to the barn for sleeping at night, it always stops and looks back. Then the blind friend can follow the smaller horse.

十、Sample writing
Protect the environment and love animals
Good morning, everyone! Today I am very happy to be here to give a report about protecting the environment and loving animals.
All the living things are the host of the earth. And we share the same home with them.
However, people cut down trees, so many animals have no places to live. And we make more space for farms and buildings. As a result, many wild animals lose their homes.
As students, we should try our best to do something to protect them, such as writing to newspapers or putting something on the Internet to let more people know about it.
If we take action to protect them, we will have a better world.
