Hello students!
2
My name is Brian Stewart.
3
I will be your teacher for today.
4
Today we are going over part one in our textbook,
5
Life Science, and specifically we'll be talking about the parts of plants.
6
If you think about it, plants are all around us, aren't they?
7
We use plants for many things.
8
We use plants for food.
9
We use plants for shelter, right?
10
Our house is made of parts of plants.
11
Plants even make the air that we breathe.
12
So, we can see plants are all around us and they are very useful.
13
Today, we will discover two things in our lesson.
14
The first is the parts of a plant.
15
Right here is a nice picture of a plant.
16
We can see that there are different parts to this plant.
17
We're going to talk about those different parts.
18
The second thing you will discover in this lesson is how a plant's parts help it to live and grow.
19
So how do these parts of the plant help it grow into a very big plant plant or a very good plant,
20
a mature plant that we can use.
21
Well, we're going to find out these two things in this lesson, so let's get started.
22
Here we have a plant.
23
These are types of plants, of course, perhaps in your garden.
24
Perhaps your mother has a garden.
25
She has these kinds of plants.
26
A plant, what is a plant exactly?
27
A plant is a living thing that grows in the ground.
28
We are living things too, human beings and animals, but we don't live in the ground.
29
Plants can't move.
30
They are stuck in the ground.
31
So plants grow in the ground.
32
They need, or it, a plant needs air, water, and sunlight.
33
So there are three things that a plant needs to grow.
34
And those, of course, are air, water, and sunlight.
35
So how does a plant get these things?
36
In this lesson, we'll talk about the different parts of the plant that help the plant get air, water, and sunlight.
37
Okay, moving on.
38
Here we have the root.
39
This is the part of the plant that you normally don't see.
40
It's in the ground.
41
In the previous picture, we only saw this part of the plant here, right?
42
But we didn't see this part.
43
This part are the roots and these are typical looking roots for a plant.
44
They have many different parts or many different arms going into the ground.
45
What does the root do for the plant?
46
The roots of a plant take in water and hold the plant in the soil.
47
Before, we saw that a plant needs air, water and sunlight to grow.
48
So the roots are the part of the plant that helps the plant take in water.
49
And also, the second thing that the roots do is they hold the plant in the soil.
50
So these roots are like strong legs, but in the ground.
51
So the plant does not fall over.
52
If there's a strong wind, it stays sturdy and strong.
53
And for a tree, for example, that's very heavy, that's very important.
54
So roots help the plant stay strong in the soil.
55
Okay, let's move on.
56
Let's talk about the next part of the plant, which is the stem.
57
Okay, we've started at the bottom, the roots, we can't see, but now we're coming up and we can see the stem is here.
58
What does the stem do for the plant?
59
A stem carries food and water.
60
So carries food and water through the plant.
61
So the roots down here, they're taking in water, they're also taking in food from the dirt,
62
from the soil, and the stem carries that food up to the leaves.
63
Through the plant, it holds up the plant.
64
So the stem is like the trunk of your body.
65
It is the main part of the plant, in many plants.
66
But it's like the structure of the plant, and it holds the plant above the soil.
67
And we call that the stem.
68
Okay, let's move on.
69
Here we have a leaf.
70
These are the top parts of the plant.
71
You see these big green things.
72
Most plants have these.
73
What are they?
74
Of course, they are the leaf.
75
Now, be careful.
76
Leaf is singular.
77
One.
78
One leaf.
79
But, of course, plants have many.
80
Many leaves.
81
So, if we talk about singular, leaf, or plural, leaves.
82
Leaves.
83
Okay?
84
So here we have leaf and what does the leaf do?
85
A leaf takes in.
86
Again, we have that verb, right?
87
Takes in.
88
It takes in light and air.
89
So it takes in light and air.
90
Two things that the leaf does for the plant.
91
It takes in these things that help the plant grow.
92
Leaves help the plant get food.
93
So we can see that the plant gets food basically from two parts we've talked about already.
94
The first part we talked about were the roots, right?
95
The roots take in water and some food from the soil.
96
Also, leaves take in air and sunlight.
97
And those are the things that help the plant grow to be a bigger plant.
98
Okay, let's move on to the next slide.
99
Some plants are very beautiful, aren't they?
100
In the springtime you can see many different colors and these colors are made by flowers.
101
So many plants and trees, trees are plants of course, have flowers and the flowers can be many different colors.
102
Very beautiful.
103
What do flowers do for the plant?
104
Plants have flowers, flowers make fruit.
105
Well that's what they do for us, right?
106
Because we eat the fruit.
107
But what does the fruit do for the plant?
108
We'll find out soon.
109
Flowers are very beautiful, as I've said, right?
110
Well, what is it about flowers and fruit that is good for the plant?
111
Okay, well these flowers, they produce fruit.
112
Now here we see an example of fruit.
113
These look delicious, don't they?
114
Fruit, of course, is good for us.
115
It's part of the plant that we eat.
116
Some plants.
117
These, of course, look like oranges.
118
There are many different kinds of fruit.
119
Fruit is the part of plant with seeds.
120
Here we have seeds.
121
We'll talk about later what seeds do for the plant.
122
Apples and lemons are common types of fruit.
123
So, if you cut open an apple, I'm sure you like apples, right?
124
Apples are very delicious, and they're good for you too.
125
You should eat lots of apples.
126
But if you cut open an apple, you will see seeds inside the apple.
127
If you open a lemon, be careful when you eat a lemon.
128
It's sour, right?
129
But you also have to watch out for the seeds in the lemon.
130
Okay, so plants will also produce fruit.
131
Okay, let's move on.
132
What is another part of the plant?
133
Especially on trees, right?
134
Not so much small plant, but for big trees, we can see branch.
135
A branch.
136
Plural, branches.
137
A tree has many different branches, so you can climb a tree, right?
138
When you want to climb a tree, if it has a lot of branches, it's a good climbing tree.
139
But be careful when you climb a tree.
140
Be very careful.
141
A branch is an arm like a part of a tree.
142
So if you look at me, I've got two arms.
143
It's like I have two branches, right?
144
But a tree, of course, has many different branches.
145
And these, of course, support the leaves where the tree takes in air and sunlight, as we saw before.
146
Okay, let's move on here.
147
Now we're ready for a little review.
148
This is a picture.
149
We have a nice picture of a plant here.
150
It's a small plant.
151
It's a beautiful plant.
152
Why is it beautiful?
153
What are the parts of the plant?
154
Let's review.
155
The beautiful part of this plant, what do we call this part of the plant?
156
Can you remember?
157
Okay, you got it?
158
Did you guess flower?
159
Yes, that would be correct.
160
This top part of the plant here, the beautiful, bright, colorful part of the plant, is the flower.
161
Okay, so let's move on here.
162
What would this part be here?
163
This is the part that holds up the plant.
164
What do we call that?
165
We call that the stem.
166
This is the part that supports the rest of the plant.
167
Now let's move on here.
168
We see this green thing here.
169
Remember this green thing?
170
We say it two ways, one for singular, one for plural.
171
What do we call that again?
172
Do you remember?
173
Yes, you got it.
174
Leaf.
175
And remember the plural?
176
Leaves.
177
Okay, let's move on to the last part of the plant that we have pictured here.
178
This part is the part that holds it in the ground.
179
It's the part that takes in water and some food from the ground.
180
Do you remember what we call this part?
181
That's right, this part is called the roots of a plant.
182
Okay, do you know this is just one type of roots of a plant.
183
This is kind of a typical plant, but you know there are many different kinds of plants and different kinds of plants have different looking parts.
184
Let's look at a video with a very different looking type of root.
185
Can you guess what it is?
186
Well, let's take a look at the video.
187
Okay, look at this.
188
It looks like it's a little windy.
189
Do you see this plant here?
190
Do you know what this is?
191
We take this part.
192
Of course, this is a carrot, right?
193
And did you know that the carrot is actually the root of the plant?
194
There are many types of plants where we actually eat the root.
195
We don't eat the stem or the leaves.
196
We eat the root.
197
So you can see we're taking the plants, the carrot plant, out of the ground and putting them in the box.
198
And in the box, the stem and the leaves have been cut off.
199
And then the carrots, they come to your dinner table.
200
By the way, carrots are very good for you, right?
201
So you should eat lots of carrots and other types of vegetables.
202
And many types of vegetables are actually grown inside the ground.
203
And we take them out and we eat the root of the plant.
204
Okay, it's time for a little review now.
205
Let's go over the words that we've discussed so far in this lesson.
206
We can see the words that we are looking at are root, stem, flower, plant, leaf, and fruit.
207
All of these words are what?
208
They are parts of a plant, right?
209
All of these words are different parts of a plant.
210
So how can we describe these words?
211
The first question is the part that takes in light and air for the plant.
212
That's important.
213
The part that takes in light and air for the plant.
214
Which part of the plant did we talk about where the part of the plant it takes in light and air, two important things for the plant to grow.
215
Which part does that?
216
If you guessed the leaf, you are correct.
217
Of course, it must be the leaf, right?
218
It's not the roots.
219
The roots are underground.
220
They can't take in light.
221
There's no light underground.
222
So it has to be the leaf, right?
223
Okay, that's the first one.
224
The second one, again, we're talking about a part of the plant.
225
The second one, the part that takes in water for the plant.
226
Remember, we talked about that.
227
That part is underground.
228
What part do you remember?
229
Do you remember what part that was?
230
That part, of course, is the root, the root of the plants.
231
Okay, so let's move on to number three, the part of the plant with seeds.
232
What part of the plant has seeds?
233
To give you a clue, it's also the part of the plant that we eat.
234
It's very delicious.
235
Of course, we eat roots, but this part of the plant is sometimes more tasty, more delicious than the roots.
236
Do you remember what part that is?
237
That's right, it's fruit.
238
So it's true, apples and oranges are usually more delicious than carrots or onions, for example.
239
Of course, they're all good for you, but fruit is the part of the plant with the seeds.
240
Okay, let's move on to the next three questions.
241
Number four is the part of the plant that carries food and water to the plant.
242
So think about that.
243
You have the roots underground, you have the leaves up top.
244
What part of the plant carries that food up from the ground?
245
Can you remember that?
246
That part of course is the stem.
247
It's also the part that supports the plant, that makes the plant stand up straight and tall,
248
and hopefully strong, if it's a strong stem.
249
Number 5, the part that makes fruit and is very beautiful.
250
Before fruit comes out on the plant, what is there on the plant?
251
Remember, it's very beautiful.
252
In the spring, you can see many beautiful colors because of these.
253
Of course, this part of the plant is called the flower.
254
The flower is the part of the plant that makes fruit and that is very beautiful very beautiful.
255
Okay, we're on our final word here.
256
Number six is a living thing that grows in the ground.
257
Okay, this is the only word actually that is not part of a plant, it's the whole thing, right?
258
And that of course is the plant.
259
A living thing that grows in the ground is of course a plant.
260
We human beings and animals are also living things, we do not live in the ground.
261
Only plants live in the ground.
262
They don't move.
263
Let's talk now about the use of plant parts.
264
We talked so far about the many different parts of a plant.
265
Now let's talk about how we use these parts of the plant.
266
Plant parts, we've talked about these, stem, roots, leaves, and flower.
267
These are all plant parts.
268
On the bottom row here, we have things made from plant parts.
269
So what kinds of things do we make from the plants that we use in our everyday life?
270
That's what this chart shows.
271
As you can see, here we have the stem of a tree.
272
It's a very strong, very big stem.
273
Of course, this is wood, right?
274
We use that to make wood.
275
And what do we use wood for?
276
We use wood to build a house.
277
So before, when I said we use plants for shelter, well that's exactly what I was talking about.
278
We use trees to build ourselves shelter or a house, so that we can live in, we can protect ourselves from the wind and the cold.
279
That's our shelter.
280
Did you know that we use some roots to make sugar?
281
Mmm, that's good, right?
282
So some plants that we use the roots of, well of course we eat roots, we use roots for a lot of different things, you know we can use carrots,
283
onions, things like that, but also some plants we can use to make sugar, right?
284
That's really good and delicious.
285
Okay, another thing that we use leaves for, did you know this?
286
This is very interesting.
287
Leaves are used to make toothpaste.
288
So when you're brushing your teeth tonight or after your next meal, when you use your toothpaste, think about that.
289
Part of the toothpaste, not the whole toothpaste, but part of the toothpaste was made from plants' leaves.
290
Wow, that's great.
291
That's very interesting, isn't it?
292
Finally, what do we use flowers for?
293
Of course, if you go into your mom's bedroom, of course, be careful there, but sometimes your mom smells very nice, doesn't she?
294
Well, perhaps she put on a little perfume.
295
And we use flowers to make perfume.
296
It's what gives the perfume a nice smell.
297
If you go up to a flower in the springtime and you smell that flower, it smells good, doesn't it?
298
It smells great.
299
Well, of course, we can use flowers to make perfume to get that same sort of smell.
300
Okay, so let's review here.
301
Which is the correct plant part for the picture?
302
We just covered how we use different parts of the plant for different things.
303
So what do we use to make these different things?
304
Over here, the first picture, we have a picture of a house.
305
So what part of the plant do we use to make a house?
306
Do we use A, the leaves, or B, the stem?
307
Do you remember?
308
Aha, that's right.
309
It's the stem.
310
We use the stem especially for trees, okay, because trees have the wood and you can see that this house, they didn't really cut the wood.
311
They just used the trunk or the stem of the tree to make the house very easily and very simply here.
312
Let's move on.
313
What is the picture of number two?
314
What is that?
315
That looks like perfume, right?
316
You take the lid off and then you push the little nozzle and it sprays perfume on you.
317
So, what do we use to make perfume?
318
What part of the plant is used?
319
Is it A, the flower, or B, the root?
320
I hope you guessed A, the flower, right?
321
Because the flower smells good.
322
If you take a plant out and smell the roots, ugh, that doesn't smell good at all.
323
So I doubt that we would make perfume from the roots of a plant.
324
The flower smells much, much nicer, doesn't it?
325
So of course we use the flower to make perfume.
326
Okay, finally over here, number three, right?
327
What is this a picture of?
328
This looks like toothpaste, although it looks like they're wasting the toothpaste.
329
Don't do this, right?
330
Just put a little bit of toothpaste on your toothbrush.
331
When you brush your teeth, think about this.
332
What part of the plant is used to make toothpaste? toothpaste?
333
Is it A, fruit?
334
B, leaves?
335
Now I know what you're thinking.
336
You're thinking fruit because that would taste good, right?
337
But I'm sorry, it's not the fruit, right?
338
The part of the plant that we use to make toothpaste are the leaves.
339
Leaves.
340
Remember those are many leaves.
341
One leaf, but many leaves.
342
We use leaves to make toothpaste.
343
Too bad.
344
It would be nice if we use the fruit.
345
Maybe the toothpaste would taste really good, right?
346
But it's not good for a toothpaste.
347
We use leaves to make the toothpaste.
348
Okay, let's continue with our review.
349
Here we have some true or false questions.
350
So the directions are circle true over here for true if the statement is true,
351
circle F, here is F if the statement is false.
352
Let's go over these statements.
353
We have three statements The first one, a stem carries water to the plant.
354
So remember when we were talking about the different parts of a plant, we have the roots, we have the stem, and we have the leaves.
355
So the roots take in water, and how does that water get to the rest of the plant?
356
The stem carries water to the plant.
357
So this statement is true.
358
True, a stem does carry water to the rest of the plant.
359
Let's move on to number two.
360
A branch is a long and sharp leaf.
361
Does that sound correct?
362
A branch is, if you can imagine a leaf, you know the green part of the plant, very long and sharp.
363
Sharp, you got to be careful if it's sharp, right?
364
Sharp means it's dangerous, it can it can poke you.
365
Is that, does that sound right?
366
That's not correct, right?
367
That's false because a branch, remember, is like an arm of a It's part of the stem that comes out.
368
It's part of the wood, actually, that comes off the stem.
369
The branch comes out and it supports many other leaves on the tree.
370
So a branch is not a leaf.
371
It's part of the stem.
372
It's an arm of the stem.
373
It's an arm of the plant that comes out and supports more leaves.
374
That is a branch.
375
Okay, so number three, the body of a tree is called the stem.
376
Remember when we were talking about the uses of a plant.
377
We said that we use the stem of a tree to make houses, to make shelter.
378
And that is what we call the stem, right?
379
So the body of a tree is called the stem.
380
That is true.
381
By the way, usually we use another word to talk about the stem of a tree of a tree.
382
And that word is trunk.
383
T-R-U-N-K.
384
Trunk.
385
So for a tree, we talk about trunk.
386
For all plants it's called the stem.
387
So yes, we can say the stem of a tree, but we also normally, commonly say the trunk of a tree.
388
That's also correct.
389
Okay, so we have these statements down.
390
The body of a tree is called the stem.
391
That is true.
392
It is also sometimes called the trunk.
393
Okay, you guys learned a lot so far.
394
Let's take a short break.
395
Okay, well welcome back.
396
We've talked about the many different parts of a plant.
397
We've looked at the words to describe the parts of a plant.
398
In this section, let's go over a short reading passage
399
that kind of summarizes or covers the topic that we've been talking about.
400
So we're going to look at a well-written passage that describes the topic that we are talking about in this unit.
401
And we can see here the first sentence of this reading, there are many different parts of plants.
402
This is our topic sentence, isn't it?
403
This is our topic sentence.
404
Our subject is plants.
405
Specifically, we are talking about parts of plants plants.
406
So our overall subject is plants.
407
Specifically, exactly, we are talking about the different parts of plants.
408
So the rest of the reading will be describing what are the different parts of the plants.
409
Let's continue.
410
The parts help a plant to grow.
411
So first we said there are many parts of a plant.
412
Our next sentence tells us what those parts do?
413
What do they do?
414
They help a plant to grow.
415
All the different parts of the plant help the plant to grow.
416
Then of course, the next section, we're going to talk about these parts of a plant.
417
We're going to organize the ideas somehow.
418
In this case, we're going to start at the bottom and work our way up.
419
We're going to talk about the roots first, And that's exactly what we have.
420
The roots of a plant take in water and hold the plant in the ground.
421
So the next sentence, we're starting with the roots.
422
This is our organizational style, starting from the bottom, going to the top.
423
Roots, what do they do?
424
Two things.
425
They take in water and they hold the plant in the ground securely so it doesn't fall over.
426
Okay, so two things.
427
Let's continue.
428
The next thing, we're moving up, right?
429
Our organizational style is from the bottom to the top.
430
The next point is this part, right?
431
This part, of course, is the stem.
432
The stem, what does it do?
433
It carries food and water through the plant and it also holds up the plant.
434
It holds up the plant above the ground.
435
So we've talked about the stem.
436
The next part, moving up, what's the next part? can see that they are the leaves.
437
Remember pronunciation leaves.
438
So the leaves, what do they do?
439
We've talked about what the roots do, we've talked about what the stem does, now it's time to talk about what do the leaves do.
440
What do they do?
441
They take in air and light for the plant.
442
So the leaves take in air and light for the plant.
443
So we've started out of the roots, we've talked about the stem, we're on the leaves now, what would the next part of the plant be?
444
That's right, this beautiful part of the plant right up here.
445
And that's at the top, that's at the very top of the plant, that's towards the end of our discussion about the parts of the plant.
446
The flowers of the plants make fruit.
447
So what do the flowers do?
448
They make fruit.
449
Flowers, of course, are very beautiful.
450
That's just an extra thought that we're putting in there.
451
People can eat the fruit.
452
That's how it benefits us.
453
Also, the fruit holds seeds.
454
We'll talk about that later on.
455
But the fruit holds seeds.
456
Oranges, apples, lemons, and bananas are delicious fruit, aren't they?
457
You probably eat a lot of these every week.
458
I hope that you eat at least some fruit every day.
459
So whether it's oranges, apples, lemons or bananas, these are all different kinds of delicious fruit and it's good for you.
460
Trees are a different kind of plant.
461
They are very big plants.
462
Trees have branches, so that's another type, that's another part of a plant that we didn't talk about.
463
You could maybe call these branches, but this is a small plant.
464
If we're talking about a tree, a very big tree, the part of the tree that comes off the stem, those are called branches.
465
Branches of course are the arms of a tree.
466
They have many leaves.
467
We've seen the reading passage that was talking about the different parts of the plant.
468
Remember, our topic sentence was, there are many different parts of a plant.
469
Let's take a look at that reading and let's look at the main idea and details.
470
Whenever you have a short passage, a short essay, or a short description about something that is written out, you can break it down.
471
You can look at how it is organized.
472
There's always a main idea and then there are support sentences, details.
473
What is the main idea of this passage?
474
The main idea, of course, is that there are many parts of the plant and also the parts of the plant help it live and grow.
475
That is the main idea of this passage.
476
Then we see the details.
477
What do the roots do? do?
478
The roots take in beep, that's A, and hold the plant in the beep.
479
Okay, so the first part of the plant that we talked about, of course, are the roots.
480
And we can talk about what do the roots do?
481
They do two things.
482
One thing, A, what do the roots take in?
483
Do you remember from our discussion before in the reading?
484
The roots, of course, will take in which word down here?
485
We have air, flower, stem, water, seeds, and ground.
486
So which one of these things do the roots take in?
487
If you guessed water, you are correct.
488
Very good.
489
The roots take in water from the ground.
490
Also, that's one thing they do.
491
The second thing they do, they hold the plant where?
492
Where do they hold the plant?
493
Which one of these words would fit into this blank?
494
Well, if you look at it, you will see they hold the plant in the ground, right?
495
The plant is in the ground, and the roots are holding that plant firmly in the ground so that it does not fall over, okay?
496
Okay, so let's move on to the next detail.
497
We've talked about the roots.
498
We're going to talk about the next part of the plant.
499
Now, remember, we started at the bottom, and we worked our way up.
500
First, we talked about the roots.
501
We're going to talk about the second part of the plant, the beep carries food and water and holds up the plant.
502
So what's the second part of the plant that we talked about?
503
Air, flower, stem, water, seeds, ground.
504
If you guessed stem, you are correct.
505
That is the second part of the plant that we talked about.
506
That gets back to our organization too.
507
First roots, stem, leaves, and flowers.
508
So the next part again is the leaves.
509
The leaves take in What do the leaves take in?
510
Remember, the leaves take in two things.
511
They take in light and something else.
512
The leaves are not underground, they're out in the open, they're out in the air.
513
So the leaves take in air and light for the plant.
514
And this is how the plant gets light and air to help it grow.
515
We're on the final part of the plant.
516
Do you remember?
517
So we start at the roots, stem, leaves.
518
The leaves, the final part of the plant, that's E.
519
The beep make fruit.
520
What part of the plant makes fruit?
521
If you guessed flowers, you would be correct.
522
The flowers, that part of the plant, makes fruit.
523
What does the fruit hold?
524
That's our final word here.
525
The fruit holds what?
526
The fruit holds seeds.
527
That's correct.
528
Like I said before, if you open an apple or you open a lemon, or if you open any type of fruit, you will find seeds in the fruit.
529
So, this is our reading skill, this is our main idea.
530
These are the details for the reading passage.
531
And as you can see, it's very well organized.
532
We start at the roots, the bottom.
533
We moved up to the stem.
534
Then we talked about the leaves.
535
And finally, at the top of the plant, we talked about the flowers and what they do.
536
Okay, let's move on.
537
Now, we have a review here here.
538
This is reading comprehension, right?
539
How well did you understand the reading passage?
540
Let's take a look at the different questions.
541
Question number one.
542
The roots of a plant are found in the A, air, B, soil, C, leaves.
543
Now this might be a little tricky because they're using a different word, right?
544
Before we learned about ground.
545
The roots of a plant are in the ground.
546
What is another word that means the same as ground?
547
And that would be, of course, soil.
548
Soil is the same as ground.
549
Whoops.
550
There we go.
551
G-R-O-U-N-D.
552
Whoops.
553
My D is strange.
554
I'm sorry.
555
D. Okay.
556
So soil is the same as ground.
557
Okay.
558
So the roots of a plant are found in the soil the roots of the plant are found in the ground.
559
Okay, let's move on to the second one.
560
The stem of a plant carries what?
561
Do you remember what the stem of the plant does?
562
What does it do?
563
It carries something.
564
Does it carry water and food?
565
A. Does it carry B, air and light?
566
Or C, soil and ground?
567
Which is interesting because these are the same thing, right?
568
I just said soil and ground are the same thing, so that's probably not the right answer.
569
Does the stem of the plant carry air and light?
570
No. What the stem of the plant does, it carries water and food from the roots up to the rest of the plant.
571
The correct answer here is A.
572
The stem of a plant carries water and food from the roots up to the rest of the plants.
573
Okay, let's move on.
574
We have another couple of questions.
575
Number three, the flowers of a plant make fruit.
576
What does the fruit do?
577
Does the fruit hold up the plant, A, or B, that hold lemons or apples, or C, that people can eat?
578
So the flowers of a plant make fruit.
579
This question is about what the fruit does.
580
Here we have that, that, that.
581
All of these that's are referring back to the fruit.
582
What is true about the fruit?
583
Does fruit hold up the plant?
584
No. The plant holds up the fruit, right?
585
The stem holds up the plant and that holds the fruit.
586
B. Does the fruit hold lemons or apples?
587
No, the fruit is lemons or apples, so it doesn't hold lemons or apples.
588
Is it true that people can eat fruit?
589
That is true.
590
So that is our correct answer.
591
The flowers of a plant make fruit that people can eat.
592
That is our only true statement, C, about fruit.
593
So the answer is, the flowers of a plant make fruit that people can eat, that you and I can eat, and we should eat at least every day.
594
Number four, the leaves take in air and light, and then we have the rest of the sentence.
595
If you look at the rest of the sentence, be careful because we have a comma here,
596
we have an and, and we have different subjects for the rest of the sentence.
597
This is actually a compound sentence.
598
The one subject is here, right?
599
The leaves take in air and light.
600
That's true.
601
And then we have the stem, the leaves, or the flowers.
602
So we have to find a true statement from A, B, and C about the new subject.
603
Don't get confused.
604
We're not talking about leaves again.
605
We're talking about something different.
606
Now true, B is talking about leaves, but A is talking about the stem, C is talking about the flowers.
607
So we don't really need this first part of the sentence, we only really need to pay attention to the second part of the sentence.
608
So A, the stem holds up the plant.
609
Is that true?
610
That is true.
611
It's probably our answer.
612
B, the leaves turn into seeds.
613
The leaves turn into seeds?
614
That's not true.
615
The fruit carries the seeds, not the leaves.
616
So B is probably not our answer.
617
That's not true, right?
618
Remember, maybe A.
619
Let's look at C.
620
The flowers carry food and water.
621
The flowers carry food and water?
622
No, the stem carries food and water.
623
The flowers don't do that, so that is also incorrect.
624
Our only true answer is A.
625
Our only correct answer is A.
626
The leaves take in air and light and the stem holds up the plant.
627
So be careful, this is a little difficult of a sentence.
628
Two subjects, one the leaves, two the stem.
629
So you don't really need to worry about the first part of the sentence.
630
The second part of the sentence is what you really have to pay attention to, because we're switching, we're changing the subject.
631
So which is the true part?
632
Which is the true statement?
633
Okay, let's move on.
634
And we have come to the end of our presentation.
635
We have talked about how the parts of a plant help it live and grow.
636
And again, just to review very quickly, we have a very good picture of a plant here.
637
We've talked about the roots, we've talked about the stem, we've talked about the leaves, and we've talked about the flowers.
638
Also remember, on a tree we've talked about the branches of a tree, and we've also talked about the flowers turning into fruit and holding the seeds.
639
So plants are very amazing, aren't they?
640
We use them for a lot of different things.
641
Like I said before, we use them for food, we use them for shelter, and they also actually make the air that we breathe.
642
So next time after this lesson, go out, enjoy nature, go look at the plants
643
and now you know what the different parts of the plants are
644
and you know a little bit more about how we use those parts.
645
Take care everybody, see you next time.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
