Host: Welcome to The Natural World! People tell us they want to learn more about different kinds of trees, so I’m going to tell you something about pine trees today. 

You can find pine trees in almost every part of China. People grow pine trees in cities because they’re always green. They make the environment more beautiful. They are very strong plants. They can grow in difficult environments. They also have very long lives. Some of them can live more than a thousand years. 

We make use of pine trees in many ways. First, we use the wood from them to make nice furniture. Second, we use them in Chinese medicine. We use almost every part of them to fight against different diseases.
