It blows flower seedshigh in the air and carries them far acrossthe land. One of the seeds is tiny,smaller than any of the others.Will it be able to keep up with the others?And where are they all going?160Another seed lands on a tall and icy mountain.The ice never melts, and the seed cannot grow.The rest of the seeds fly on. But the tiny seeddoes not go as fast as the others.162163Now they fly over the ocean.One seed falls into the water and drowns.The others sail on with the wind.But the tiny seed does not go as high asthe others.164One seed drifts down onto the desert.It is hot and dry, and the seed cannot grow.Now the tiny seed is flying very low,but the wind pushes it on with the others.165Finally the wind stops and the seeds fall gentlydown on the ground. A bird comes byand eats one seed. The tiny seed is not eaten.It is so small that the bird does not see it.166Now it is Winter.After their long trip the seeds settle down.They look just as if they are going to sleepin the earth. Snow falls and covers themlike a soft white blanket. A hungry mousethat also lives in the ground eats a seedfor his lunch. But the tiny seed lies very stilland the mouse does not see it.167After a few months the snow has melted.It is really Spring! Birds fly by. The sun shines.Rain falls. The seeds grow so round and fullthey start to burst open a little. Now theyare not seeds any more. They are plants.First they send roots down into the earth.Then their little stems and leaves begin to growup toward the sun and air. There is another plantthat grows much faster than the new littleplants. It is a big fat weed. And it takes allthe sunlight and the rain away from one ofthe small new plants. And that little plant dies.168The tiny seed hasn’t begun to grow yet.It will be too late! Hurry!But finally it too starts to grow into a plant.169The warm weather also brings the childrenout to play. They too have been waitingfor the sun and spring time. One child doesn’tsee the plants as he runs along and—Oh!He breaks one! Now it cannot grow any more. 170171The tiny plant that grew from the tinyseed is growing fast, but its neighborgrows even faster. Before the tiny planthas three leaves the other plant has seven!And look! A bud! And now even a flower!172But what is happening? First there are footsteps. Then a shadow looms over them. Then a hand reaches down and breaks off the flower.A boy has picked the flower to give to a friend.173Now the tiny plant from the tiny seedis all alone. It grows on and on. It doesn’t stop.The sun shines on it and the rain waters it.It has many leaves. It grows taller and taller.It is taller than the people. It is taller thanthe trees. It is taller than the houses.And now a flower grows on it. People comefrom far and near to look at this flower.It is the tallest flower they have ever seen.It is a giant flower.174175All summer long the birds and bees andbutterflies come visiting. They have neverseen such a big and beautiful flower.176177178The days grow shorter. The nights grow cooler.And the wind carries yellow and red leavespast the flower. Some petals drop from thegiant flower and they sail along with the bright leaves over the land and down to the ground.What do you think willhappen to the flower?179The wind blows harder. The flower has lostalmost all of its petals. It sways and bends awayfrom the wind. But the wind grows strongerand shakes the flower. Once more the windshakes the flower, and this time the flower’sseed pod opens. Out come many tiny seedsthat quickly sail far away on the wind.180181。
Title: The Wonders of English Picture Books: A Gateway to Language and LiteratureLadies and Gentlemen, esteemed colleagues, and fellow book lovers,Good morning/afternoon/evening. Today, I stand before you to talk about a topic that has captured the hearts of countless children and adults alike: English picture books. These delightful gems are not just mere stories; they are windows into a world of language, culture, and imagination. Let me take you on a journey through the wonders of English picture books.Introduction: The Power of Pictures and WordsTo begin, let's consider the power of pictures and words combined. English picture books are a unique blend of vibrant illustrations and engaging text. They are designed to captivate the attention of young readers, who are often more drawn to the visual aspect of a book than the written word. However, it is the synergy between the two that truly makes these books special.The images in English picture books are not just decorations; they are storytellers in their own right. They convey emotions, set the mood, and guide the reader through the narrative. At the same time, the words on the page provide the structure and depth of the story. Together, they create a powerful medium that can transport us to different worlds and times.The Benefits of Reading English Picture BooksNow, let's delve into the numerous benefits that English picture books offer to both children and adults.1. Language AcquisitionFor children, English picture books are an excellent tool for language acquisition. The repetition of words and phrases, along with the visual aids, helps children to associate words with objects and concepts. This process is known as "bilingual scaffolding," and it can significantly enhance a child's ability to learn a new language.2. Literacy SkillsReading picture books also helps to develop literacy skills such as phonemic awareness, comprehension, and fluency. Children learn to recognize letters, sound out words, and understand the meaning of the text. As they grow older, these skills will serve them well in their academic journey.3. Cultural AwarenessEnglish picture books expose readers to a wide range of cultures and perspectives. Through the stories and characters, children learn about different customs, traditions, and ways of life. This cultural awareness is crucial in today's globalized world.4. Emotional DevelopmentThe stories in picture books often explore complex emotions and themes. Children can relate to the characters and their experiences, which helps them to understand and express their own feelings. This emotional development is an essential part of a child's growth.5. Imagination and CreativityPicture books are a fertile ground for imagination and creativity. The vivid illustrations and engaging stories stimulate the imagination of young readers, allowing them to create their own versions of the story. This creative process is vital for the development of critical thinking skills.Notable English Picture BooksThroughout history, English picture books have produced many timeless classics. Here are a few notable examples:- "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle – This charming book introduces young readers to the life cycle of a butterfly while teaching them numbers and days of the week.- "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak – This imaginative tale of a young boy's adventure in a land of mythical creatures explores themes of loneliness and freedom.- "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson – A clever and amusing story about a mouse using its wits to outsmart predators, teaching children about the value of courage and cleverness.Conclusion: A World of PossibilitiesIn conclusion, English picture books are a treasure trove of language, literature, and imagination. They offer a world of possibilities for children and adults alike. By reading these books, we can learn, grow, and explore new horizons.As educators, librarians, and parents, let us continue to nurture the love of reading in our children. Let us open the pages of Englishpicture books and embark on adventures that will last a lifetime.Thank you for your attention, and I invite you to share the wonders of English picture books with the young readers in your lives.The End---This speech aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the importance and benefits of English picture books, highlighting their role in language acquisition, literacy skills, cultural awareness, emotional development, and imagination. It also touches upon some classic examples of English picture books, emphasizing their timeless appeal.。

Good morning! Today, I would like to share with you a wonderful experience that I had recently. It was a reading session with my students, where we delved into the magical world of English picture books. Let me take you on a journey through the enchanting tales that we explored, and how they brought joy, learning, and growth to our classroom.The session began with a warm-up activity, where we introduced ourselves and our favorite picture books. The children were excited to share their stories and express their love for reading. This activity not only helped us get to know each other better but also sparked a sense of curiosity and anticipation for the stories we would be reading together.Our first book was "The Gruffalo" by Julia Donaldson. The story revolves around a little mouse who encounters a cunning fox, a fearsome owl, and a hungry snake. With the help of the wise old owl, the mouse outsmarts his predators by telling them about the mythical Gruffalo, a creature that is said to be even scarier than the others. The children were captivated by the engaging illustrations and the playful text. They learned about the importance of bravery, cleverness, and the power of imagination.As we continued our reading journey, we came across "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. This classic tale follows the life cycle of a caterpillar as it eats its way through various foods and eventually transforms into a beautiful butterfly. The children were fascinated by the vibrant illustrations and the simple, repetitive text. They not only enjoyed the story but also learned about numbers, days of the week, and the life cycle of insects.Another delightful book we explored was "Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. The story revolves around a kind old witch who invites various animals to join her on her broom. As they travel together, the witch loses her hat, wand, and bowl of porridge. The animals come to her rescue, and the witch is grateful for their help. The children were amused by the humorous illustrations and the catchy rhymes. They learned about kindness, gratitude, and the importance of teamwork.One of the most heartwarming stories we read was "The Snowman" by Raymond Briggs. This beautifully illustrated book tells the story of a young boy who builds a snowman and goes on an adventure with it. The story is filled with magical moments, and the children were enchanted by the snowman's ability to come to life. They learned about friendship, imagination, and the beauty of nature.As we continued our reading session, we also explored other wonderful tales such as "The Gruffalo's Child" by Julia Donaldson, "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen, and "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" by Roald Dahl. Each book brought a unique message and taught us valuable life lessons.Throughout the session, I observed the children's enthusiasm andcuriosity grow. They were not only captivated by the stories but also eager to participate in the activities that accompanied them. We engaged in discussions, acted out the stories, and even created our own illustrations. The children's imaginations were sparked, and their love for reading was nurtured.In conclusion, the English picture book reading session was a memorable experience that brought immense joy and learning to our classroom. The stories we explored not only entertained the children but also taught them valuable life lessons.
