"The Mighty Redwood Trees"
Redwood trees are some of the oldest and tallest trees in the world. These trees can live
for thousands of years, and some redwoods are as tall as skyscrapers. Redwoods are
mainly found in California, in places where the climate is cool and foggy.
One of the reasons redwoods are so tall is because of their thick bark, which protects
them from fires and pests. The fog from the coast also helps redwoods stay hydrated by
providing moisture even when it doesn’t rain. These trees play a big role in the
environment by providing homes for animals, cleaning the air, and stabilizing the soil.
Sadly, redwoods are becoming rare because of deforestation, which is when forests are
cut down for land or wood. Many people are now working hard to protect these amazing
trees to ensure they continue to grow tall and strong for future generations.
Read each question carefully and answer based on the passage.

2. What is the main idea of the passage?
a) Redwood trees are common in California.
b) Redwood trees are some of the tallest and most important trees, and people are trying

d) People should cut down redwood trees for wood.
3. Why do redwoods stay hydrated even when it doesn’t rain?
a) They have thick bark that holds water.
b) They live in deserts.
c) The coastal fog provides them with moisture.

4. What is one reason redwood trees are so tall?
a) They grow faster than other trees.

The Life of a Volcano

Volcanoes are powerful forces of nature. They form when hot, melted rock, called
magma, rises up from deep inside the Earth. Magma is stored in a chamber beneath the
Earth’s crust. When the pressure in the chamber builds up, magma pushes its way to the
surface, escaping through cracks and openings in the Earth. When magma reaches the
surface, it is called lava. As lava flows down the volcano, it cools and hardens, adding new
layers to the volcano’s structure.

There are many types of volcanoes, but three main types are shield, cinder cone, and
composite volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have wide, gentle slopes and erupt with thin,
flowing lava. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is a famous shield volcano. Cinder cone volcanoes, on
the other hand, are small with steep sides. They are built from volcanic rock fragments
and erupt explosively. Composite volcanoes, like Mount St. Helens in the United States,
are large and cone-shaped. They are made from layers of hardened lava and volcanic ash,
and they can erupt violently.

Volcanoes can remain dormant, or inactive, for many years, but when they erupt, they
can release gas, ash, and lava with incredible force. An eruption can change the
surrounding landscape and affect the climate. The ash and gases from a large eruption
can block sunlight and lower temperatures for months. Although volcanoes can be
dangerous, they also create fertile soil that is good for farming. Volcanic soil is rich in
minerals that help plants grow well.

Descriptive Writing

Descriptive writing is a type of writing that helps readers imagine or picture something in
their minds. It uses words to describe what something looks like, sounds like, smells like,
tastes like, or feels like. Good descriptive writing helps readers feel like they are experiencing
what the writer is describing.

Using the Five Senses:


Descriptive writing uses words to show what things look, sound, smell, taste, and feel like.
This makes the description more vivid, or realistic.

Example: "The flowers smelled sweet, like fresh


honey."

Figurative Language:
Writers often use similes and metaphors to make
their descriptions stronger.
Simile: A comparison using “like” or “as” (e.g.,
"The ice cream was as cold as snow.")

Metaphor: A comparison that doesn’t use “like” or


“as” (e.g., "The mountain was a giant standing tall.")
Example of Descriptive Writing
“The beach was warm and sunny, with waves crashing softly on the shore. The sand was
smooth and golden, and when I picked up a handful, it slipped through my fingers like tiny
grains of sugar. I could smell the salty sea air and feel the cool breeze on my face.”

My Favorite Place

My favorite place is my cozy bedroom. It's like a little world of my own,


filled with things I love. The walls are painted a soft sky blue, and the
sunlight streams through the window, making the room feel bright and
airy.

My bed, covered with a fluffy pink comforter, is the perfect spot to curl
up with a good book. Next to my bed is a small table where I do my
homework and draw pictures. On the table, there's a colorful lamp that
casts a warm glow over my room.

One corner of my room is filled with toys. I have stuffed animals of all shapes and sizes, lined up on my shelves. There's
a teddy bear named Teddy, a cuddly cat named Whiskers, and a silly monkey named Monkey.

My room is more than just a place to sleep; it's a place where I can relax, play, and dream.

Animal Feet
1 Different animals have different kinds of feet, and the shape and structure of
their feet help them survive in the places they live. Some kinds of animal feet
are described here.
2 The polar bear is a large animal that has big, padded paws and long claws. Its
cushioned feet are slightly webbed, with hair between the toes. Its paws
protect the bear from the cold and act like snowshoes, allowing it to walk
across deep snow without sinking in too far. The hair on its paws keeps it from
slipping on the ice.
3 The elephant is another large animal with big, cushioned feet. It is lucky to
have them. When you weigh between six and eight tons and are on your feet
most of the day, it is helpful to have good, shock-absorbing support. The
padding on elephant’s feet also helps it move silently across the land.
4 A duck waddles on two webbed feet, and even though its feet are not great for
walking, they are ideal for swimming. When a duck lands in water, it uses its
feet to paddle through the water.
5 The horse is well suited for running across the open prairie. Instead of feet
with toes, horses have hard hooves. Because horses have hooves, they are
able to get started quickly and run fast across
large spaces.
6 The lion is a powerful runner that can hunt down prey—even a fleet-footed
gazelle. The lion has large, padded paws with long claws that can retract, or
move in and out of a part of the lion’s toes. Padding lets the lion sneak up
quietly on its prey. Its long claws allow it to grab prey quickly.
7 Another effective predator is the bald eagle, because it has powerful, sharp
talons. Talons are like claws. It uses its talons to grab prey and carry it away.
An eagle’s gripping strength is stronger than a human’s. A bald eagle can
pluck a giant fish right out of the water.
