Warming up
The text is about the importance of bees. They help plants grow through pollination. Now their number is dropping and we need to protect them.
Look at the title and the pictures below. Guess what the text is about.
1a
We Can’t Live Without Bees
Imagine you go to the supermarket in your area, but there are almost no fruits, vegetables, honey, milk, eggs, or chocolate. How would you feel Disappointed Angry Sad At this moment you realize people, plants, and animals are all connected. We need each other to live, and bees are one of the best examples of this connection.
Bees are very hard-working animals, and their greatest work is pollination. On one trip, they often visit 50 to 100 flowers. As they fly from one flower to another, they take pollen with them. This action helps plants grow. In fact, without their work , about 80 per cent of the plants in the world cannot grow. For this reason, many scientists believe that bees are the most important animals on this planet.
Listen and read the passage.
1b
Bees are also one of the most interesting animals in the world. For example, they work hard together to make their homes. In order to store honey, they create honeycombs. Another interesting thing about bees is how they communicate. When a bee finds new food, it uses a dance to tell the others where and how far away the food is.
Bees play an important part in the ecosystem of our planet. However, the number of bees is dropping, and scientists are worried. Bees need our help, and there is a lot we can do. Think about what you can do to protect one of the most amazing animals on earth.
Listen and read the passage.

The Amazing World of Bees
Discuss the questions.
1. Can you give another title for the text
1d
Discuss the questions.
1d
Bees have a well-organised social life. In a beehive(蜂房), the queen bee can live for many years and lay about one thousand eggs daily. Female worker bees do different jobs as they grow older.
2. What other interesting facts do you know about bees
Discuss the questions.
1d
Ants dig tunnels. This makes the soil get air. It helps plant roots get oxygen. It is good for the crops we eat. Butterflies help with pollination. When they drink nectar, they move pollen around. This helps plants make new plants. Some fruit-bearing plants need their help to grow the fruits we eat.
3. What do you know about the connection between humans and other insects, such as ants and butterflies
Imagine you are the writer. Write one more
paragraph about bees and add it to the text.
Bees are great at adapting. They can live in many places, like meadows and dry areas. In different habitats, they find and use various flowers. This helps keep local ecosystems in balance. For example, in mountains, they pollinate wild flowers that small animals eat. These small animals are food for bigger ones. So bees are key in nature’s web, making it work well. Protecting bees is protecting nature’s balance and its many different life forms.
1e
How do you understand the connection between
plants, animals, and people Think of some examples
