三、(2025·南通市期末)阅读表达。
In cities, a growing number of people are turning their homes into small green gardens by keeping house plants. According to a recent survey, about 65% of the families have at least three plants in their living spaces.
There are several reasons why indoor gardening has become so popular in the city. First, plants help make indoor air clean. They take in harmful things from the air and give out fresh oxygen. Second, looking after plants brings a sense of achievement, especially when seeing a small seed grow into a healthy plant. Moreover, plants are beautiful, ever-changing home decorations. Unlike static artworks(静态艺术品), living plants grow and change with the seasons, bringing natural beauty into city flats.
However, beginners often face some problems. Some choose unsuitable plants. For example, many beginners buy sun-loving plants like roses but place them in rooms with poor light. Overwatering is another common problem. New growers may water plants too often because they don't know that most indoor plants prefer drier soil.
To help solve the problems, local gardening centres provide free guidance on choosing the right plants for different light conditions and proper watering skills. With the right knowledge, anyone can achieve success in home gardening. Moreover, many neighbourhood communities have started plant exchange programmes to share advice with beginners. Some schools have even added plant care into their life skills courses.
With these helpful resources, anyone in the city can develop a green thumb and enjoy the journey of growing alongside their plants. Why not begin your own indoor gardening adventure today?
