As I read these words, I can really connect with the author’s perspective. Gardening feels like a fundamental part of human industry, something ingrained in our very nature, and in turn, it helps shape our character.
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?
When gardening, we may worry about whether the plants have enough nutrients and whether the sunlight and water are sufficient, this is neurotic. During the growth of plants, we sometimes make mistakes, such as overwatering or not loosening the soil, which makes us more cautious and careful in gardening. Gardening is a two-way growth between ourselves and nature.
Because gardening requires effort, and it is a continuous effort that tests our morality. We also need to take great care and devote ourselves wholeheartedly to taking care of them.
Yes, I can. In terms of the neurotic aspect, when cultivating a plant, I'm always worried about whether the temperature is suitable for its growth, whether its leaves have been bitten by insects, and whether it's receiving sufficient sunlight. I often have it on my mind and check its growth condition several times a day, hoping it will grow up quickly.
In terms of the moral aspect, I think nurturing a plant is like raising a child. The process from a seed to its flowering and fruiting really tests our patience and attentiveness. At the same time, we take care of the plant just as our parents take care of us, fulfilling a moral obligation.
In terms of learning from mistakes, I believe that the process of cultivating plants can't always be smooth - sailing. When we're new to gardening, we often overlook certain aspects, such as burying the seeds too deep, providing too much sunlight, or over - watering, which may lead to the death of the plants. After repeated attempts, we will surely draw experience and lessons from them and make correct judgments and choices in the future.
In terms of character - building, cultivating plants can not only help us develop the habits of patience and perseverance, but also foster our respect for life.
Yes,I can.Because learning is also the same process of gardening.We study from the basic knowledge to the deeper knowledge.The crops grow from seed to trees.During this process,they all need patient,a lot of energy and care.Sometimes,we may make mistakes.We can learn a lot from the mistakes.Of course,we shape different characters,such as persistence,patience and so on.
Yes, I can. In terms of character development, gardening can make people more responsible, more patient, more composed and calm, and can also enhance our resilience and perseverance.
Yes, I can. Because right now I'm growing a small flower called cornflower. During the process, it takes a lot of energy. I have to think about whether today's weather is suitable for placing it on the balcony? Is it time to water it? Is there enough nutrition in the small pot? I need to learn about how to keep it alive and well, which really tests my patience because it can die if I'm not careful. So now I can really understand the author's thoughts. I'm hoping that my little flower will really bloom.
I can relate. Gardening makes me neurotic as I obsess over plant details like watering amounts. It’s moral because I feel responsible for the plants and share produce. I’ve learned from mistakes, such as wrong tomato spacing. It builds character by teaching patience while waiting for plants to grow and perseverance when dealing with pests.
