Gardening1.

Gardening is the growing of plants and flowers as a hobby or for recreation. A lot of people

also grow vegetables and fruit. It is one of the most-loved activities in the world. Anyone can dogardening, regardless of their age, fitness or how rich or poor they are. All you need is some soil,
water and sunshine. Many people do gardening outdoors in their garden. People with no garden
grow things on their balcony. Some people do gardening on a rooftop.
2.

If you cannot grow things outside, you can grow them indoors. This is useful for people wholive in wet or cold countries. A kind of indoor gardening is done in greenhouses. These are special
buildings where plants and vegetables are grown. Greenhouses are not actually green – they
have glass or clear plastic roofs and walls that let sunlight in. Another name for a greenhouse is aglasshouse.
3.

Another kind of gardening is water gardening. This is the growing of plants in ornamental

pools or ponds. This is a lot more difficult than standard gardening as you need special equipment
to look after the flowers in the water. You also need more space as a pool or pond can be quite big.
One advantage of water gardening is that you get to see fish, frogs and other creatures that live inor near water.
4.

Gardening is also done in city parks and gardens, zoos, amusement parks and tourist

attractions. These types of gardens are cared for by people called gardeners. Many towns takepride in their gardens and spend a lot of money making sure they are beautiful and colorful. They
usually change the flowers according to each season. There are many festivals that celebrate theflowering of different species.
5.

Gardening is related to farming, but farming is done on a much larger scale. A farm may havehundreds of square kilometers of plants and crops, whereas a garden is much smaller. In addition,
farming is done as a business, to sell the crops, fruit, and vegetables that are produced. Gardening
is done just to grow things for the gardener's own family. Gardening is usually done as a hobby orfor recreation, not as a business.

Part 4 Read the article below and answer the question that follows(80~100 words).
Online Shopping
Recently, online shopping has been growing faster than any other kinds of shopping. Anyone
can sell a product online, anywhere in the world. Before we had online shopping, large stores wereputting small, family-owned stores out of business. However, now, it is so easy and inexpensive toopen a store online. Many family businesses have made a comeback and have been successful by
going online.
Many people now feel that online shopping has put many large stores out of business because
Internet shops can sell the same items for less. Experienced shoppers know what they should
do before buying a product online. Shopping has changed from paying top prices at expensive
department stores to saving money and carefully choosing where to shop, online or offline.
