Answer: "<u>To give</u> is one of the best things people can do. <u>Volunteering</u> their time shows what caring people they are".

Explanation: A gerund is a non-finite verb form that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. An infinitive is also a non-finite verb form, but it is formed with "to" and the simple form of a verb. Moreover, an infinitive can work as a noun, an adjective or an adverb. In the passage provided,<u> "giving" is a gerund because it ends in "-ing" and it is working as a noun;</u> therefore,<u> it must be transformed into an infinitive by adding "to" and writing the simple form of the verb: "give"</u>. Furthermore, <u>"to volunteer"</u> is an infinitive because it <u>is made up of "to" and the simple form "volunteer"</u>. "To volunteer" must be changed into a gerund by <u>deleting the "to" and converting "volunteer" into a gerund: "volunteering"</u>.

Why are trees important to our health?<br><br> essay at least 400 words and no more than 500 words
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Everyone probably doesn’t feel the same way as I do, but perhaps they should. While being in nature leads to better health, creativity, and even kindness, there may be something special about being among trees.

After all, trees are important to our lives in many ways. The most obvious is their role in producing the oxygen we breathe and sequestering carbon dioxide to help protect our atmosphere; but science suggests trees provide other important benefits, too.

Here are some of the more provocative findings from recent research on how trees increase human well-being.

Trees help us feel less stressed and more restored

Probably the most well-researched benefit of nature exposure is that it seems to help decrease our stress, rumination, and anxiety. And much of that research has been conducted in forests.

In one recent study, 585 young adult Japanese participants reported on their moods after walking for 15 minutes, either in an urban setting or in a forest. The forests and urban centers were in 52 different locations around the country, and about a dozen participants walked in each area. In all cases, the participants walking in a forest experienced less anxiety, hostility, fatigue, confusion, and depressive symptoms, and more vigor, compared to walking in an urban setting. The results were even stronger for people who were more anxious to begin with.
