Facts About Trees
Trees are tall plants. Trees can live for thousands of years. Some trees can grow taller than 100 meters.
Trees produce oxygen（氧气）and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide （二氧化碳）in the air. The roots of a tree usually grow underground. They help keep the tree stable and give it water and other important nutrients（养分）. Water and nutrients travel up the tree trunk, through the branches and all the way out to the leaves.
We can tell the age of a tree by growth rings in the wood.
Planting trees can help protect the environment. We can use wood from trees in a number of different ways, for example, building a house and making furniture（家具）.
