思路 1

Not many people do it
没有多少人这样做
考官答案
No, not many people grow vegetables or flowers at home in my country. Most people live in apartments, so they don’t have a garden or even a balcony to plant things. Also, people are really busy with work and study, so they don’t have much free time for gardening. It’s just easier to buy vegetables and flowers from the market or supermarket. I think young people especially aren’t very interested in gardening these days.
不,我国很少有人在家种植蔬菜或花卉。大多数人住在公寓里,所以他们没有花园,甚至没有阳台来种植东西。而且,人们工作和学习都很忙,所以他们没有太多时间进行园艺。买市场或超市的蔬菜和花卉要更方便。我认为尤其是年轻人近年来对园艺不太感兴趣。
Actually, not many people do it, especially in the cities. The majority of people live in apartments without gardens or even balconies, so there’s just no space for growing plants. Plus, with everyone leading such busy lives, it’s much more convenient to just buy vegetables and flowers from the supermarket. I’d say gardening isn’t really popular among young people either, as they tend to have other hobbies and interests.
实际上,做这件事的人并不多,尤其是在城市里。大多数人住在没有花园甚至阳台的公寓里,所以根本没有空间种植植物。此外,大家生活都很忙碌,直接从超市买蔬菜和花卉要方便得多。我认为园艺在年轻人中也并不流行,因为他们往往有其他的爱好和兴趣。
语法分析
1. 否定结构:“not many people do it” 使用否定结构明确回答问题。 2. 一般现在时:像“The majority of people live in apartments”和“gardening isn’t really popular”这样的句子使用一般现在时来描述普遍事实和习惯。 3. 原因从句:“so there’s just no space for growing plants”和“as they tend to have other hobbies and interests”使用“so”和“as”来给出原因,使答案更连贯合乎逻辑。 4. 现在分词短语:“with everyone leading such busy lives”使用现在分词短语来顺畅地添加背景信息。

思路 2

考官答案
Some people still grow vegetables or flowers at home, especially older people who have more free time. In the countryside, it’s quite common because people have gardens and they like to grow their own food. Also, gardening is becoming a bit more popular as a way to relax and reduce stress. Some schools and communities even have gardening projects to encourage people to try it.
