Topic 32 去过的公园/花园

1. What are the benefits that a park can bring to a city?
For one281, a park can provide some beautiful scenery to a city. If a city is all buildings, there’s nothing really pretty to look at. So a park is a place where people can see something other than concrete282.Another benefit is that everyone can hang out in a park. Parks usually make people feel relaxed. That’s good for their health.

2. Which age group would like to go to a park?
I believe people of all ages like going to a park. But older people usually like going to parks more.Retired people283 especially have a lot of free time. So it’s nice for them to take a walk in a park or just enjoy the scenery. Young people like going to parks too, but they have more energy. So they might want to go somewhere more exciting.

3. Why do some people like to plant flowers and grasses?
It seems to me that some people plant flowers and grasses because it helps them relax. Gardening doesn’t take much energy. You’ll have a sense of achievement when your plants finally grow and bloom.Plus, if you grow your own vegetables and fresh fruits, it can definitely improve your health, and save some money too.

4. Do you think people should help clean public parks/gardens?
Yes, people should help clean public parks and gardens. Everyone can enjoy a park. So it would be nice if they helped keep them clean. It doesn’t have to be their top priority284, but I think everyone should help public parks and gardens look their best. I believe it’s also a good way to bring the community together285 as well.

5. How can the government let people protect public gardens?
I suppose that the government can do lots of things. For one, they can let people protect public gardens by making official rules286. For example, they can make it illegal to destroy public gardens. And the government can also enforce the rules that already exist. They can help stop people who litter or make a mess in public gardens.
