сочинение на английском на тему необычные растения .пжочень срочно38 боллов

Flowers are regarded as a marvelous creation of nature. Thats how the nature speaks to us. It conveys love, peace and harmony through flowers. Any event receives a new meaning when decorated with flowers. To my mind all flowers are bewitching and glorious: red tulips, field daisies, chrysanthemums, lilacs, orchids. But my favourite flower is the red rose. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful and graceful flower. It can be presented to show ardent love and devotion. However, most people buy them on any occasion, be it someones birthday or wedding day, anniversary or special holiday. People know that roses show respect and good attitude. Thats why nearly everyone loves them. Rose oil and petals are used in gastronomy and cosmetology. For example, I know that some nations make a delicious marmalade from rose petals. And, the beauticians use the essence of rose to make face masks or conditioner for hair. Speaking about the heavenly scent of this flower, I should mention that I adore rose-based fragrances. I think that many people would agree that its one of the best scents. Bees also like the scent of a rose. They eagerly stock its sweet nectar. Vivid colours of roses often attract the attention of butterflies. Roses grow on a long, slender stalk, which is often covered with sharp thorns. For this reason there is a well-known saying Theres no rose without a thorn, meaning that every beautiful thing or desirable situation has its share of difficulty. In conclusion, Id like to say that roses give the world not only their beauty and message of love, but they are also rather useful.

Plant Life

The United States is rich in the variety of its native forest trees, some of which, as the species of sequoia, are the most massive known. More than 1,000 species and varieties have been described, of which almost 200 are of economic value.

A coniferous forest of white and red pine, hemlock, spruce, and balsam fir extends interruptedly in a narrow strip near the Canadian border from Maine to Minnesota and southward along the Appalachian Mountains. There may be found smaller stands of tamarack, spruce, paper birch, willow, alder, and aspen or poplar. Southward, a transition zone of mixed conifers and deciduous trees gives way to a hardwood forest of broad-leaved trees. This forest, with varying mixtures of maple, oak, ash, locust, linden, walnut, hickory, sycamore, beech, once extended uninterruptedly from New England to Missouri and eastern Texas.

Pines, palmettos, and live oaks are replaced at the southern tip of Florida by the more tropical palms, figs, satinwood, and mangrove.

The alpine tundra, located in the conterminous United States only in the mountains above the limit of trees, consists principally of small plants that bloom brilliantly for a short season. Sagebrush is the most common plant of the arid basins and semideserts west of the Rocky Mountains, but juniper, nut pine, and mountain mahogany are often found on the slopes. The desert, extending from south-eastern California to Texas, is noted for the many species of cactus, some of which grow to the height of trees, and for the Joshua tree and other yuccas, creosote bush, and acacias.

 

Растительный мир

США богаты природными лесами, а секвойные леса, например, очень известны. Более 1000 трав, произрастающих в лесах, описано, а практически 200 из их имеют экономическое значение.

Хвойный лес, состоящий из белоснежной канадской сосны и дугласовой пихты, ели и пихты бальзамной, тянется узкой прерванной полосой около канадской границы от Мэна к Минессоте и к югу вдоль Апалаческих гор. Южнее находится переходная зона меж хвойными и лиственными деревьями, за которой следует лиственный лес. Когда-то этот лес, в котором росли клен, дуб, ясень, рожковое дерево, липа, орех, гикори, платан и бук, тянулся непрерывно от Новейшей Великобритании к Миссури и восточному Техасу.

Сосны, пальметто и дубы в южной доли Флориды сменяются тропическими видами пальм, фиговых, атласных и мангровых деревьев.

Альпийская тундра состоит основным образом из растений, которые ясно зацветают в течение короткого медли. Полынь самое распространенное растение в засушливых районах полупустынь к западу от Скалистых гор, на склонах которых нередко можно повстречать можжевельник и сосну итальянскую. Пустыня, которая протянулась от юго-восточной Калифорнии к Техасу, знаменита многообразием кактусов, некоторые из которых добиваются размера деревьев, а также деревом Иисуса, бешеными юкками и акациями.
