A plant is a living organism. It can't move. It can't feel either. Scientists divide plants by their structure and method of reproduction. There are two main types of plants. The first type is flowering plants. They have flowers and seeds. The second type is flowerless plants. They do not have flowers and reproduce by small one-celled spores. Both types of plants can be of a different size and complexity. The main parts of a plant are the leaves, flowers, stems, roots and seeds. A seed has its own food supply. Later it will help the future plant to grow. Stems grow upward above the ground. There are leaves in a pattern along the stem. Roots give support to plants.
Plants need food. Some of them are self-supporting, others are dependent. Plants get their food from water and air. Some plants make oxygen as a result of the feeding process.
Трудные для произношения слова. organism [ˈɔːɡənɪzəm], reproduction [ˌriːprəˈdʌkʃn], flowering [ˈflaʊərɪŋ], spores [spɔːz], complexity [kəmˈpleksəti], self-supporting [ˌself səˈpɔːtɪŋ], oxygen [ˈɒksɪdʒən].
На что обратить внимание. Короткие рубленые предложения в начале («It can't move. It can't feel either.») требуют явной паузы на каждой точке и падения тона в конце каждого. Перечисление «the leaves, flowers, stems, roots and seeds» — пять однородных членов подряд. Противопоставление «Some of them are self-supporting, others are dependent» — пауза перед «others». Слово «can't» нужно произносить с чётким долгим гласным [kɑːnt], чтобы не звучать как «can».
