on dioxide from automobiles and industrial wastes, through photosynthesis, and p
roducing oxygen. Increased oxygen clears the air and makes breathing easier. And
most of all, they help prevent drought and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, people have not realized the importan
ce of trees. In order to draw quick benefit from trees, they have cut down trees
in large numbers. As a result, man has lost his faithful friends. Disafforestat

rain falls on the hard ground and flows away on the surface, causing floods and

so long that we will probably forget classes after the vacation. Despite the ne
gative point, I prefer long vacations.
