37.Fruits and vegetables

Q.1 Are you interested in growing vegetables and fruits?

Ans-Not really, to be honest. I don't see much point in growing vegetables or fruits myself. I can't grow everything anyway, and most things are easy to buy in shops or markets. It also takes a lot of time and patience, and I know I'd probably forget to water the plants or just lose interest after a week. I like the idea, but it's not very practical for me. I'd rather just buy what I need and save the effort.

Q.2 Is growing vegetables popular in your country?

Ans-Yeah, I'd say it's quite popular, especially among older people or those who live in the countryside. They usually have gardens and grow things like tomatoes, cucumbers, or potatoes. In cities, it's not that common because people don't have much space, but some still grow herbs or strawberries on their balconies.. just for fun. It's more of a small hobby than something serious.

Q.3 Do many people grow vegetables in your city?

Ans-Not really. Most people in my city live in apartments, so they don't have gardens. Some try to grow a few herbs or small plants on the balcony, but that's about it. It's not like in villages where people actually grow a lot of their own food. Here, it's more about convenience... everyone just buys vegetables at the market or supermarket.

Q.4 Do you think it's easy to grow vegetables?

Ans-Yeah, I think it's easy. You just water them so they don't dry out, give them some sunlight, and in the end you pick the vegetables. My grandma always said the same thing: 'Water them and the rest will take care of itself.' So I don't see it as something complicated.

Q.5 Should schools teach students how to grow vegetables?

Ans-I don't really think schools need to teach kids how to grow vegetables. Classes are already full, and there are way more useful things for life, like learning how to manage money or deal with stress. Growing veggies is nice, but honestly you can just buy them in the supermarket, so it's not the most important skill. Maybe it could be a fun club or hobby, but not something schools should spend a lot of time on.
