A. Helpusgreen is an organisation that collects millions of tonnes

of flowers used annually in the country, and turns them into
soaps and incense
sticks. Lots of
flowers are used by

people in religious
places, which are
later used to make
these products. The

flowers are usually
red roses, yellow
marigolds, prickly
xanthium and so on.

Do you think this
helps conserve the
environment? How? Sit in groups of four and discuss. Find out
more about them from newspapers/magazines/the Internet.

B. Imagine it is a very special occasion and you want to gift your
mother a bunch of flowers. Talk to your partner about:

1. What is the special occasion?

2. Which flowers will suit the occasion?
3. Where should you put/keep the flowers when they dry up?

How will you use them?
