Plane Trees

Along some streets in the city where I live, many plane trees have been planted.

I especially love plane trees, as they are tall, large and lush, giving us a sense of history and contentment.

The branches of plane trees on both sides of the street can even reach each other, forming a green canopy that blocks out the hot sun and casts cool, deep shadows on the street, protecting people from the heat. This is their most striking feature, and it’s loved by most people.

I commute to and from work four times a day. I like to take streets lined with plane trees.

Every time I walk under the canopy of plane trees, I feel happy and content.

Plane Trees


Along some streets in the city where I live, many plane trees have been planted.


Along somthe streets in the city where I live, many plane trees have been planted. Along the streets in the city where I live, many trees have been planted.

Along somecertain streets in the city where I live, many plane trees have been planted. Along certain streets in the city where I live, many plane trees have been planted.

I prefer "certain" to "some" here because it makes the streets where those trees are sound special.

I especially love plane trees, as they are tall, large and lush, giving us a sense of history and contentment.


I especially love plane trees, as theyat are tall, large and lush, giving us a sense of history and contentment. I especially love plane trees that are tall, large and lush.

I especially love plane trees, as they are tall, large and lush, giving us a sense of history and contentment. I especially love plane trees, as they are tall, large and lush, giving us a sense of history and contentment.

I would suggest using a different structure. "As" seems a little weak? See what you think: I especially love plane trees because they are tall, large and lush. I especially love plane trees; they are tall, large and lush. I especially love plane trees. They are tall, large and lush. I am not sure that the participial phrase "giving us a sense of history and contentment." is well connected to the first part of the sentence. I see the connection with "contentment" because the attributes you describe are positive, and you circle back to that word in your last sentence. I guess it's the word "history" that seems unconnected. If you had described the trees as "old" (or with other words that indicated their longevity), there would be a connection. However, the longevity of the trees is implied in the words "tall" and "lush" because it takes a long time for trees to reach that point, and that is why I say I'm not sure about suggesting this change.

The branches of plane trees on both sides of the street can even reach each other, forming a green canopy that blocks out the hot sun and casts cool, deep shadows on the street, protecting people from the heat.


The branches of plane trees on both sides of the street can even reach each other, forming a green canopy that blocks out the hot sun and casts cool, deep shadows on the street, protecting people from the heat. The branches of plane trees on both sides of the street can even reach each other, forming a green canopy that blocks out the hot sun and casts cool, deep shadows on the street.

The branches of plane trees on both sides of the street can even reatouch each other, forming a green canopy that blocks out the hot sun and casts cool, deep shadows on the street, protecting people from the heat. The branches of plane trees on both sides of the street touch each other, forming a green canopy that blocks out the hot sun and casts cool, deep shadows on the street, protecting people from the heat.

The wording "can even reach each other" could be improved. My first suggestion is to delete "can" (because they do). My second suggestion is to replace "reach" with "touch," and my third suggestion is to delete "even." I think that these small changes make the image clearer because the reader can visualize the branches more easily. You could experiment with words like "tips" "arch" "extend" "intertwine" etc. if you wanted to try other ways of revising the first part of the sentence.

This is their most striking feature, and it’s loved by most people.

I commute to and from work four times a day.


I commute to and from work four times a day. I commute to and from work four times a day.

I know that "commute" can be by any means, but I immediately thought of a vehicle when I read that phrase, so I had to reorganize my mental picture when I read the last sentence and realized you are walking to and from work.

I like to take streets lined with plane trees.


I like to takeravel streets lined with plane trees. I like to travel streets lined with plane trees.

Every time I walk under the canopy of plane trees, I feel happy and content.
