Hands-on learning helps children understand plant care, food production and responsibility.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Students can grow herbs or vegetables in a small school garden and observe how water, sunlight and soil affect growth.

Learning to grow your own plants can also build food awareness, although the activity should remain simple enough for schools with limited space.

Why do some people prefer to live in the countryside?

Tại sao một số người lại thích sống ở vùng nông thôn?

A rural lifestyle may offer less congestion, cleaner surroundings and sometimes lower living costs.

[EXAMPLE]Example

Families may prefer having a larger home and outdoor space instead of living in a small city apartment.

Have new kinds of plants been grown in your city recently?

Yes, many cities have recently brought in new plants as part of urban planting programmes.

[EXPLAIN]Explain

Authorities often add native species, shade trees and drought-tolerant plants to improve street greenery.

[EXAMPLE]Example

New trees may be planted along roads, around schools or in renovated public spaces.

[EXTEND]Extend

The best choices are species suited to local climate and maintenance conditions, because attractive plants are not useful if they need too much water or damage infrastructure.
