MANGROVE TREES

A mangrove is a tropical marine tree or shrub of the genus Rhizhopora. Mangroves have a special aerial roots and salt-filtering tap roots that enable them to thrive in brackish water (brackish water is salty, but not as salty as sea water).

There are several species of mangroves trees found all over the world. Some prefer more salinity, while others like to be very close to a large fresh water source (such as a river). Some prefer areas that are sheltered  from waves. Some species have their roots covered with sea water every day during high tide. Other species grow on dry land, but are still part of the ecosystem.

Mangroves need to keep their trunk and leaves above the surface of the water. Yet they also need to be firmly attached to the ground so they are not moved by waves. There are three types of mangrove roots that play an important role for it :
1)         Support roots which directly pierce the soil.
2)   Level-growing roots which twist upwards and downwards, with the upward twist     emerging on the water surface.
3)        Level-growing roots whose downward twist (sub-roots) appear on the water surface.

Any part of a root that appears above the water flow oxygen to the plant under water surface. As the soil begins to build up, these roots produce additional roots that become embedded in the soil.

Recount Text

Last week I took my five-year old son, Willy, to a musical instrument store in my hometown. I wanted to buy him a set of junior drum because his drum teacher advised me to buy him one. Willy likes listening to music very much. He also likes asking me everything he wants to know. Even his question some times seem precocious for a boy of his age. He is very inquisitive.

We went there by car. On the way, we saw a policeman standing near a traffic light regulating the passing cars and other vehicles. He blew his whistle now and then.

Seeing the policeman blowing his whistle, Willy asked me at once, “Dad, why is the policeman using a whistle, not a drum?”

Hearing his unexpected question I answered reluctantly, “because he is not Phil Collins!”.
