A Forest Hi! I am a forest. I am very big and strong. I consist of not only trees and bushes, but also grass, animals, insects, birds.
Every season I look different. In spring I am the happiest. The leaves are fresh and green, the birds begin singing their songs and building nests, the sun warms me and I am very beautiful.
In summer I am thick and full of life. The rains wash me, the winds strengthen me and my life changes day by day.
In autumn I am graceful. My dress is colourful, I am rich in mushrooms and berries. And I prepare for winter. Like people sleep at night, I sleep in winter. I need this rest to get ready for the next spring.
The most important problem for me is that people cut down trees and I become smaller. Please, stop it. My inhabitants and I won’t be able to go on if you don’t!
