2021年9月雅思口语保留题Part1：Plants

Plants（种植）

1. Have you planted trees?

你之前种过植物吗？

Yes, I've planted trees before. From my primary school to high school, teachers always organized all of the students to plant trees together on Arbor Day (Tree-planting Day), and I believe it's a really meaningful thing to protect the environment and it can also raise children's awareness of environmental protection.

是的，我曾经种过树。从小学到高中，老师总是在植树节组织全体同学一起植树，我认为这是一件非常有意义的事情，既能保护环境，又能提高孩子的环保意识。

2. Where did you plant trees?

你在哪里种植植物？

When I was a school student, I planted trees with my clas*ates on campus. But now, I plant trees in some arid regions and desert, of course, I don't plant those trees in those severe zones myself, I collect many energies on an app called Alipay, which could help me plant trees if I accumulate enough energies. Those energies are made by my eco-friendly consuming behaviors, like no plastic bags when shopping, the use of paper straw instead of plastic straw, or selling and buying second-hand products.

在我上学的时候，我和同学们一起在校园里种树。但是现在，我在一些干旱地区和沙漠里种树，当然，我并不是自己在那些地带种树，我在一个叫支付宝的应用上收集了很多能量，如果我积累了足够的能量，就可以帮我种树。这些能量是由我的环保消费行为所产生的，比如购物时不使用塑料袋，用纸吸管代替塑料吸管，或者**二手产品。

3. Do you keep plants at home?

你在家里也种植植物吗？

Yes, I get used to buying a bunch of fresh flowers once a month, I think, which could be helpful to my mental and physical health. I prefer my room to be scented, and those fresh plants are much better than strong perfumes for me, so I always keep some mini plants at home.

是的，我习惯每个月*一束新鲜的花，我想，这对我的身心健康是有帮助的。我比较喜欢自己的房间有香味，那些新鲜的植物对我来说比浓烈的香水要好得多，所以我经常在家里养一些迷你植物。

4. Do you know anything about growing a plant?

你对种植植物有什么了解？

To be honest, I only know a bit about it. For example, planters need to water the plant at least once a day and place the plant toward the sunshine so as to ensure it grow fast and well.

说实话，我对它只是略知一二。比如说，种植者每天至少要给植物浇一次水，并将植物朝向阳光放置，这样才能保证植物长得又快又好。

5. What plant did you grow when you were young?

你在小时候种过什么植物？

I planted a mini cactus when I was young. As we all know, cactus usually grow in the desert. That is to say, cactus don't need too much water in general conditions. So, it is convenient and quite easy for me to take care of the cactus, and I kept that cactus for more than 3 years.

小时候，我种过一棵迷你仙人掌。大家都知道，仙人掌一般生长在沙漠里。也就是说，仙人掌在一般情况下不需要太多的水。所以，对我来说，照顾仙人掌很方便，也很简单，我把那棵仙人掌养了3年多。
