Americans
enjoy many activities. When they are at home, they enjoy reading, watching TV,
drawing, (play) computer games and so on. The most popular activity
is done outside. A new study (say). more than 40% of the adult
Americans are gardeners.
According
to the study, during the growing season a gardener usually spends 3 or 4 hours
a week (work) in his or her garden: digging, planting, cutting
and watering. They also spend money on their gardens. Each year American
gardeners spend about 25 billion dollars (buy) seeds (种子), plants and
plant food. Plant food can make their plants (grow) better. They
also buy garden tools and even special clothes for working in the garden.
Why
do more and more Americans (like) gardening? Most people do it
for fun. To some people, gardening makes their home more beautiful and makes them
feel closer to nature. Gardening is also a good way to get exercise and working
outside in the fresh air can help them (relax).
