Paragraph on All Seasons and Trees

 *MAN AND TREES*

Trees are very useful to man. They support the life old living things. Trees are needed for making paper, furnishing houses. They are used in everything. When we breathe and burn, we produce carbon-di-oxide. Trees replace this carbon-di-oxide with oxygen. The green leaves of trees absorb carbon-di-oxide and break it up into carbon and oxygen. The leaves keep carbon-di-oxide and release oxygen for the use of living beings. Trees prevent drought and floods. Man has cut down trees in large numbers and he is cutting more and more trees. Man must stop cutting more trees, otherwise he will suffer greatly.

*THE SEASONS OF BENGAL*

There are six seasons in West Bengal. They are summer, monsoon, autumn, hemanta, winter and spring. The six seasons impart great variety to nature in West Bengal. During summer, unkind sun dries up everything. But fruits like mangoes, lichis are available in this season. After summer, comes the rainy season, Monsoon. In this season, farmers sow seeds to enrich our food-basket. Autumn succeeds the rains. But this season does not last long. Yet, it is the season of festivals. Next comes winter.

It also brings some diseases with it. Common people suffer much. Crops are washed away. News of death and destruction also reach our ears. Thus, the rainy season brings hope in one hand, despair on the other. Yet, common people look forward to the happy days and wait patiently for the autumn to come.

The atmosphere is pleasant as there is neither unbearable heat nor constant rains. People enjoy picnics and excursions. Fairs are held in every district of West Bengal.

*THE BEAUTY OF TREES*

Trees are the great creation of nature. They offer their aesthetic beauty. They majestic beauty soothes us. They, with their fruits and flowers beautify the surroundings. Thus, they are a source of joy forever. Trees are home to diverse living things—from tiny creatures to ferocious animals. But trees are real friends of mankind. They are usually bounteous with their gifts. But, there is greed of man. Valuable trees are being destroyed by greedy timber merchants. There is also steady march of urbanization. Thus, it is apprehended that some countries of the world will have no forests within a few years. But only laws to protect the trees are not enough. Movements are needed to establish such laws.
