With the development of civilization, trees have become a more necessary part of the earth. They give shelter, shade, clothing, and medicines to humans. Woods helps people make shelters to live in, and many tribes use leaves for clothing as well. They provide medicine with their leaf or bark, and trees also help humans and animals to hide under their shade.  The tree plays a significant role in cleaning the environment. It takes away the unwanted carbon dioxide, and in return, trees provide oxygen, which helps us to breathe. Oxygen plays a vital role in human life, and without trees, it is impossible for humans to survive. Trees also protect us from the heat of the sun by forming a layer in the atmosphere. That layer helps reduce global warming. Trees are a major source of medicine. For years people used trees as medicine for both humans and animals. Some people used to make drinkable medicine from tree leaves, and others used to rub the leaves on the body part that hurts the most or in case of wounds. A tree has the power to cure many illnesses, which means that people should plant more and more trees. Trees provide clothes to many humans. Tribes living in the forest mostly wear leaves from the trees as clothing. Whenever you go to a forest where a tribe resides, you will see them wearing tree leaves to cover themselves. Trees play a significant role in our lives, for animals and the environment. It is necessary to plant more and more trees every day as it saves the environment in many ways. TSUNAMI PARAGRAPH Tsunamis are natural disasters that are destructive to the environment. It is caused due to an earthquake underwater. Just like earthquakes are unpredictable, tsunamis occur suddenly, and no one can anticipate their occurrence. There can be various reasons for a tsunami to occur, like the sinking of the earth, explosives, etc. Tsunamis occur primarily in areas where two continents meet. It is known that the Pacific Ocean is a hub of tsunamis. Tsunamis also happen due to volcanic eruptions under the ocean beds. Tsunami is a term that refers to tidal waves. Therefore, a tsunami is defined as a sequence of ocean waves with a very long wavelength. Due to the tsunami, strong waves of water are created and move landwards. As a result, there is a large inland water movement that lasts for a long time. As a result, these waves have a significant destructive power. Like other natural disasters, tsunamis also bring great destruction to the environment. It brings losses to livelihood, property, forests, etc. Use ‘should/must/ought to’ appropriately in the following sentences. The students………… respect their teacher.
