Every kind of tree has leaves, but the leaves have many different shapes.
The leaves of some trees are flat. These trees are found in places that are warm in summer and cold in winter. In the spring and summer, these leaves are green. However, in the fall these leaves turn to colours such as orange, red, and yellow.
Evergreen trees grow in cold places. The leaves of the evergreen are thin and pointy. They look like needles and stay green all year.
Evergreen leaves are very strong. They do not blow off or fall off. On the other hand, trees with flat leaves lose their leaves in fall. The leaves dry up and fall off.
Word List
needles : things that are long, thin, and sharp
