【推荐1】Greenland is the largest island in the world. It’s in the northeast of North America. Near Greenland is another island. It’s small. Its name is Iceland. Do you think that Greenland is green and warm? Do you think that Iceland is white with ice? If you do, you’re wrong. That is because most of Greenland is covered with lots of ice.

Iceland has lots of hot springs(温泉). They give out hot water and steam. The climate (气候) is less cold than that in Greenland. And there are a lot more people living in Iceland.

【推荐2】What is nature? Nature means the world around us that is not created by people, including birds, mountains, trees, the sea and the stars. You can find nature wherever you are: beaches, gardens, parks and rivers. Building a closer connection with nature can take your mind off your worries and make you feel calm.

The Mental Health Foundation says spending time in nature brings calm, joy and wonder to our lives. Listening to the wind in the trees can make you feel calm and positive. The Week Junior reader Ralphie, aged 10, likes exploring nature on bike rides with his family. He says, “It makes me feel happy and takes my mind off things. We can see and hear more birds and wild animals, like pheasants (野鸡) and deer.”

The Mental Health Foundation says you can build a connection with nature wherever you are using your senses. Try listening closely to birdsong, touching the bark of trees or following insects. Smelling flowers and feeling soil between your fingers will also help you feel closer to the natural world. Writing a poem, painting a picture and taking photos of your favourite natural places can help too. “The important thing is to try and connect with nature and notice its beauty and how it makes you feel.” says the Mental Health Foundation.
