1. Read the text and underline important facts about plants written with the passive voice structure.
The write the most interesting ideas on the lines below.
Plants
Plants are made up of tiny building blocks called cells. Plants are very important kind of life. Plants cover most
land. They can be big or small and come in many colors, but they are not animals. Trees, flowers, grasses, and
bushes are common plants. Plants are eaten by many animals and insects like giraffes, crickets, koalas, snails,
ants, etc.

How are animals and plants different? Plants usually can’t move. Plants breathe a different kind of air than
people and animals do. Plants make their own food from water, sunlight, and the soil. Plants cannot talk. Plants
do not think. Plants usually make more plants, or reproduce with seeds. Seeds are carried by different animals
for example bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, etc.

How are animals and plants the same? They both have body parts that do jobs. Animals eat food, but plants “eat”
sunlight with their leaves and “drink” with their roots. Animals grow from babies to adults, and plants from
seeds to adults. Also, people use some plants to decorate the houses. Colorful flowers are used by people as
presents.
