Orchids and the environment
The orchid is a beautiful flower that can grow indoors or outdoors. There are over 25,000 different species of orchids, so it's one of the largest families of p in the world. Orchids can come in many different cas well, such as white, purple, pink, blue and yellow. There are several conditions that help orchids grow so well. Orchids need the right temperature, as well as the right amount of sunlight, soil, and water in order to l.
F indoor orchids, it is much easier to control these conditions. For example, orchids usually need to be watered once a week, and you can control how much water you give to the plant. Also, many orchids grow best if they had indirect sunlight b direct sunlight will burn them. Indoor orchids can be placed near windows with curtains or blinds. This will protect them and give them the indirect sunlight they need.
However, as to orchids that grow outdoors in the wild, global warming can become a threat. Unfortunately, global warming affects temperature, light and rain. All these factors will affect the way orchids live and grow. Most orchids will live c within a narrow temperature range of 18.3 to 23.8 degrees Celsius. Global warming can increase temperatures beyond the natural range for these flowers. Unfortunately, this can destroy orchids because they can't survive in hot, dry conditions. Second, air pollution can create acid rain. Acid rain is created when gases from fossil fuels combine with water in the air to form acids. When acid rain falls on plants and trees, it destroys the n balance of the soil and kills them.
Every year thousands of students leave school for a few weeks or months and enjoy an unusual type of educational program. What they learn during this time does not come from books. They learn new skills by living in a different country and doing unusual jobs. There are several programs that help students to gain (获得) the experience they are looking for.
Country | Job | Time | Activities |
India | Teaching young children | Two months | * Teaching music and art * Helping children to learn how to communicate |
Ghana | Health care worker | Three months | * Seeing how doctors work in a less developed country * Helping care for sick people |
Thailand | Saving elephants | Three weeks | * Caring for elephants * Helping train elephants |
One interesting program is saving elephants in Thailand. Most people think of elephants as animals in zoos or circuses. However, many elephants are no longer kept in captivity (囚禁). Now, hundreds of them are homeless. These gentle animals are often found on the streets because they do not have owners to care for them. Although they may look well, they are often in poor health and don't have enough food to eat.
One center in Thailand cares for these elephants. It provides a safe and natural living space for them. When they are at the center, they stay in a building but are free to walk around. Students come from all over the world to help there. The students work with the elephant keepers and help then a train elephants. These keepers teach the students how to care for the elephants. In the morning, they go to the forest together and lead the elephants to the center. They clean them and give them food. In the afternoon, they take the animals back into the forest for the night. Helping at the center is interesting and the young people learn a lot.
