•            Example 2

I am a tree. I have a strong brown trunk and many branches. From my branches grow hundreds of green leaves.

On a hot summer day, people stop to take a breath of relief under the shade of my branches.   They cool themselves away from the hot Sun. Sometimes little children play around me and climb my branches. I love to hear their laughter and chatter

In the rainy season, my leaves get washed. Often, during the rains, there is storm and the wind blow- sat a great speed. My branches sway from side to side and my leaves make a rustling sound.

During winter, my leaves fall off so that new ones may come up in the spring time. I look quite bare at that time.

I will protect you, if you take care of me.
