i. Why do some people like to keep plants at home?

Many people love keeping plants at home for a variety of reasons. For one, plants are natural air purifiers. They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, which can help improve the air quality inside a home. Some plants are known to filter out common indoor pollutants, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and trichloroethylene, which helps create a healthier living environment. Actually, the more plants there are, the healthier the living environment is. In addition to that, plants release moisture into the air through a process called transpiration This can help increase the humidity levels in a home, which can be particularly beneficial in dry climates or during the winter months when indoor air tends to be drier. You know, proper humidity levels can improve respiratory health and prevent dry skin. So if there are many plants in the apartment, people can not only become healthier, but they can also save money on buying a humidifier. Also, plants add a touch of natural beauty to any space which can make a home feel more welcoming and peaceful. Sometimes they serve purely practical purposes 'cause they can be used to create natural partitions, cover unsightly areas, or fill empty spaces in a home. Caring for plants can be a great way to reduce stress; for example, watering plants is a super calming activity. For many, it feels like meditation. And for those who grow edible plants, there's the added bonus of fresh, home-grown produce.

ii. Do people in your country like to grow plants?

Well, it seems to me that there are quite a lot of people who really enjoy gardening and growing plants. I think that the main reason for that is a chance for people to escape the fuss and routine of everyday life and just spend more time outdoors making the world around them beautiful_ at the same time. One more reason for enjoying gardening is that doing something with hands frees up the mind and, as a result, reduces the stress levels as well as has a positive impact on people's mood. Also, I think that people may like growing plants 'cause it's much cheaper to plant vegetables than to buy them. At least many people believe it's true, And, to my mind, the taste of fresh vegetables is far superior to anything they can purchase at the supermarket.
