(A, B, C, D) of the correct answers. Mark your choice on the answer sheet*

A tree planting campaign is always a good start to a greening program because the effects are immediate. As far

as possible, use local species and avoid planting in neat rows. In nature, a variety of plants grow at random. Try to

get this effect so that the mini-forests in the school compound will attract local animal life.

Many rainforest trees grow quickly and become tall, so select the trees carefully for each location. You may need

to get professional assistance, perhaps from the local Forestry Department, to identify the most suitable species.

Your school gardener will also be able to help in the practical aspects like planting techniques. Seedlings can be

obtained free or at a discounted price from the local Forestry Department.

Trees not only beautify the surroundings but also purify the air and increase the oxygen level, provide shade,

screen out ultraviolet rays, block off unpleasant areas, and provide food and shelter for birds and other animals.

Often, we can plant trees to solve problems. For example, trees can be used to reduce noise, control pollution and

act as wind breakers.
