1. What do living things include?
<em>Living things include many kinds of organisms, from the plants, animals and people to bacteria and other tiny creatures.</em>
2. Cаn we say that we know all the plants and animals that live on our planet?
<em>No, we can't. People discover new species every year.</em>
3. In what way are plants and animals different?
<em>They get their food differently; most animals can move about and hide and most plants can't do that.</em>
4. Why is it not always true?
<em>There are exceptions: some plants can catch and "eat" insects and there are plants that can "travel".</em>
5.The text says that some plants are small and some are very big. Is that true about animals? Can you give examples?
<em>It is also true about animals. The examples of the biggest and smallest animals are whales (киты) and hummingbirds (колибри).</em>
6.Why can't we live without plants and animals? In what ways do we use them?
<em>We need plants as food and they "breathe in" carbon dioxide and "breathe out" oxygen. And we need animals as a source of food, for making clothes, transport, helpers and scientific research. </em>
7.Why is oxygen that plants "breathe out" so important for people?
<em>It is important for people because it supports life.</em>
