After learning the text, can you relate to the author's experiences when he says that gardening is neurotic, moral, and it involves learning through mistakes and is all about character-building? If yes, in which aspects? In no, what is the reason?
Yes,I'm really canrelate to the author's experiences.
Firstly,gardening can indeed make people a bie neurotic.Gardeners often worry about various factors such as the weather,pests,and the growth status of plants.
Secondly,gardening has moral implications.Gardeners are responsible for the well-being of their plants.The need to provide proper care,which requires patience as plants grow at thier own pace.
As for learning from mistakes and character-building,the first is a continuous learning process,and mistakes are inevitable.Another one helps build character in perseverance,discipline,accomplishment,self-confidence and so on.
When I was a child, there was a period when growing succulents was fashionable in our school. I was very interested in it and, on a whim, went to the flower and bird market. Eventually, I bought a small pot of succulents and brought it home. It can be said that I took good care of it (thanks to the fact that succulents are easy to grow, otherwise my little heart would have suffered a huge blow and I would have stopped loving gardening activities from then on, and I would be grateful!), seeing that the little thing's home was like a cup-shaped space, I also learned to transplant it. Later, even with a sense of mission and responsibility, I even helped it reproduce offspring (actually, there was no need to learn, my mother said that just pulling a leaf and planting it in the soil would make it survive, haha).
I think this is what the author meant by it being due to neuroticism and moral sense. And I also learned a lot from it, and it also made me understand what mother's instinct is, shaping my kind, conscientious, and responsible character.
Gardening teaches patience and responsibility. People who are skilled at it often develop other important skills in life, too.Gardening requires learning through trial and error, and just as in daily life, those who are good at reflecting on their mistakes usually learn more effectively. However, I don’t naturally learn from my mistakes or analyze past experiences, which makes my learning process often feel ineffective. This is also why I lack proficiency in gardening.
The author said that the crops can easily and cheaply purchased in the market, and the root crops especially are hard to tell apart. However, they still have to face the back-breaking cultivation labor. Even in situations where the outcome might be pointless, they cultivate crops by themselves year after year. It seems neurotic.
And gardening is also an activity that concerns morality. When gardening, your paternal or maternal instincts come into play because helpless living things are depending on you, require training and encouragement and protection from enemies. And when you are gardening, you must face up to and admit your mistakes, be humble in correcting them, and take timely remedial measures. Only in this way can you achieve some accomplishments in gardening this year. During this process, your character is shaped.
I can associate myself with the author's words. I agree with the author's statement that planting is a manifestation of shaping character, because when I was in elementary school, I planted a lily. While cultivating it, I constantly paid attention to the growth conditions such as sufficient sunlight and fresh water. In this process, I gained the qualities of being careful, persevering, and observant.
Yes,l can.Neurotic Aspect: Gardening requires attention to detail. Gardeners often worry about factors like weather, pests, and the growth of plants and so on.lt's irritated.Moral Aspect: It requires caring for living things which reflects a sense of responsibility and respect for life and gardeners need to learn to be patient and kind.Learning from Mistakes: Over - watering or using the wrong fertilizer is inevitable. These mistakes teach gardeners valuable lessons, helping them improve their skills.Character - Building: Gardening builds character by teaching perseverance. Gardeners must endure the wait for plants to grow and overcome challenges.
Yes,I can. Gardening is symbolic of our growth. Our growth is like the process of gardening, we go through many difficulties,failures and successes.It needs lots of patience and time. So during the process of gardening, we can develop our spirit of perseverance, patience and carefulness.
I can understand the author's experience. I agree with what the author said because my mother has recently developed a passion for gardening. She has all kinds of flowers (roses, blue roses, lilies, roses, jasmine, magnolias, and azaleas), fruit trees (kiwi trees, plum trees, peach trees, cherry trees, bayberry trees, and sugarcane), and some vegetables (cilantro, lentils, and lettuce). At first, she kept failing, either due to water issues or lack of sunlight. But as she continuously improved the growing conditions, many of them survived as she wished. Now, my mother is trying new varieties. She enjoys the process of gardening, and I have learned a lot from it as well.
Yes, I can relat to the gardening can be neurotic as it involves obsession and attention to detail. Gardeners often worry about plant health, obsess over watering, fertilizing and pest control, and spend hours fretting about the garden's appearance, similar to how a neurotic person fixates on a task or worry.
Yes, I can understand what he's going through. My understanding to the author that gardening is neurotic is that even if we say that we hate gardening, our instinct is to want to get close to the crops when we see them, to plant when the season is coming, to make the field orderly when we see it is chaotic, such contradictory psychology can be called neurotic. The reason why the author says gardening is moral, I think, is because when we start gardening, all crops are equivalent to our children; we have to take the responsibility as parents, seriously cultivate them, this is our moral requirement for ourselves, so gardening is also moral. In the process of gardening, we may encounter problems such as poor crop growth. At this time, we should not be unable to face the problems; we should not deny them. The essence of gardening is that we can acknowledge our problems, learn from mistakes, and strive to do better. Finally, why is gardening a process of character building? I think in the process of gardening, our mind has been exercised, we guard against arrogance and impetuousness, calm ourselves down, and devote ourselves to it. Through gardening, we form a calmer character and become a better self.
Gardening is neurotic because sometimes the crops or plants are frail,so it will cost us a lot of time and energy to protect them.In that situation,we will worry about many things,such as weather,temperature and humidity etc.
Gardening is moral because the things wee planted is animate and our paternal or maternal instincts are not allowed us to give them up in the midway.
Gardening also involves learning through mistakes and it can build our character.Because gardening is not an easy thing.We may make mistakes along the way,If we want to make them alive, we have to learn from the experience of failure.At the same time, in the process we can cultivate our patience and build a character that never gives up.
Yes,I can.Because for example in our actual life,there will have chances to grow plants or vegetables,each one of us wants to take good care of them,just like taking care of a child,that requires our moral to take function.And in the gardening process, we will inevitably meet with some troubles, so that needs our patience,and undeniable it's a course to build our characteristics.
Yes. Cultivating an animal or some flowers or other aspects in our lives need us to pay a lot of attentions. I still remember the summer in 2022, when i was isolated at home for COVID -19. I was so bored that i decided to do something special -- planting flowers. So i decided to grow roses. (蔷薇)I comsumed countless of vigors on them, expect watering. When it was a bad weather, you know ,in summer it was always rainy and i was concerned that the rose i growed wouldn't be blowed down by the wind. Through my hard working, i was so glad that i saw the outcome of my hardly work--they bloomed, vividly and vibrantly. Anyway, through this progress, it was no doult that they cultivated my persistence and endurance and i gradurally know the power of the life.
Yes,I can.I believe that gardening is a character-building hobby that can show your patience.Whether you like nature or not can also be reflected in this.I just love yo grow plants and see them come out of the soil and feel a sense of accomplishment and awe for life.
Neurotic:Gardening provides a kind of spiritual comfort. The constantly growing and thriving plants give people an upward force, embodying the cycle of life.
Moral:There is a moral aspect to gardening as it requires a sense of responsibility.
Learning through mistakes:Gardening allows us to accumulate experience and learn the correct methods from the previous experiences.
Character- building:Gardening requires patience and perseverance.
Yes, I can relate to the author's experiences. Firstly, gardening is considered neurotic because it makes people overly observe every little detail, such as whether the plants have enough water. Then, gardening is related to morality because it involves taking care of plants, and we need to ensure their healthy growth. Secondly, gardening allows us to learn from our mistakes. For example, if we water the plants too much, we will learn from this mistake the next time. Finally, gardening builds character because the growth of plants is a long process that requires our patience and perseverance. Therefore, I resonate with the author's views.
I can understand him. Because a good gardening requires care and effort, gardening can cultivate one's character. It is just like taking good care of one's own child to make him grow up healthily.
Yes, I understand. I grew dragon fruit seedlings when I was a child. After planting it I will look forward to its growth every day as if it were my child. I spend a lot of time watching their growth .I expeced to find some ways to make them grow better. I think the process of planting it also cultivated my patience and carefulness. Because I have to wait for it to grow and to protect it growing up. Although in the end they died.
Yes, I can understand the author. Gardening can make people neurotic and also test one's character. I once grew the plant that was said to be the easiest to survive - the green vine. During the growing process, I was looking forward to its quick growth every day. This consumed my patience and made me worried every day. After I constantly paid attention to and touched it, it seemed to be killed by me.
Yes, I can relate. Gardening is neurotic as we fret over plant health. Morally, it makes us responsible for living things. We learn by missteps like over - watering. It builds character, teaching patience as we wait for growth and perseverance when facing setbacks.
Yes, I can. Whether it's cultivating green plants or flowers, I will pay excessive attention to their growth. I will observe their conditions every day and worry about the withering of every leaf. I will irrigate them frequently, even if the water I pour is already sufficient. During this process, I will devote more patience and perseverance to expect to harvest a green life. Gardening not only nurtures plants but also shapes a more stable and patient self.
Yes. Gardening is a matter of life responsibility, and when you take care of plants, you will inevitably make mistakes, just like your life, but you can make improvements after making mistakes and still have a beautiful life.
I can resonate with the aspect of character-building. I believe that the process of gardening is also a process of accompanying plants to grow. In this process, patience and self-discipline are required. Moreover, we also need the ability to learn from failures, the courage to remain motivated in the face of setbacks, and the bravery to start over after experiencing failures.
Yes, I can. When people are planting, they always consider the growth situation of the plants. They will check on them frequently, which shows their love and sense of responsibility for the plants. Learning from mistakes is reflected in the problems such as overwatering and insufficient fertilization at the beginning of planting. When they draw lessons from these mistakes, they will become more proficient in gardening.
Gardening can help shape our character. During the process of gardening, I need to spend a great deal of time and energy. While taking care of these flowers and plants, it also tests my patience and professional knowledge about flowers and plants
Yes, I can. I think gardening requires a significant amount of effort, putting us in a state of concern, and gardening demands that we treat plants with great care and responsibility. Additionally, the author discusses the importance of learning from mistakes, it similar to how we improve in our learning process by constantly reflecting on and correcting our errors.
I agree with what the author said. Gardening can help people relax. Fully devoting oneself to doing one thing can relieve the pressure in people's hearts and make them suddenly realize the true meaning of life. Although a lot of effort and time are needed in this process, the result is exciting.
Yes. Gardeners are obsessed with details, which is very neurotic.Beginners always make many mistakes, which is a process of learning from them.And character building, because it requires patience and diligence.
Certainly. Gardening teaches us about the cycle of life by mirroring the growth and decay of flowers, helping us recognize our past ignorance. Additionally, cultivating plants fosters patience and a stronger sense of responsibility.
Yes,I think so.The text mentions, "Whenever life seems pointless and difficult to grasp, you can always get out in the garden and get something done." I believe engaging in gardening activities at such times is beneficial for character building. Because in this process, tending to plants requires great care, and the hardships involved can help us appreciate the preciousness of life—this is part of character building.
