Part 2&3  A person you know who loves to grow plants答案及解析_雅思口语练习「新东方雅思官方网校」

What do I think of that job? I'm not sure what I think really… A farmer is an important job in society and there is great worth in working with the land and growing produce and rearing animals for the good of society. I think farmers are very well paid in some countries, and incredibly rich – like in the USA or the UK, and in other countries farmers are the poor ones in society. I don't really know why, exactly… So, it depends where you're a farmer as to whether it's a really fulfilling and respected job or not! 


There are more people than in the past yes, I think so. There is a current trend for people in cities to take more interest in the land – and some even have allotments and mini “vegetable farms” outside of the cities – I think they rent a spot of land – I'm unsure how it works. But I have noticed that an increasing amount of young people are interested in this, and I think that's a good thing. 


Yes, I think that in school they learn these kinds of things. At least I did when I was in school. I also believe that if a family have a balcony or even some kind of garden, then it's important to give the kids an opportunity to grow vegetables, plants and flowers. Things like tomatoes are quite easy to grow in a warm balcony, and children can see a tomato plant growing quite quickly and learn how to take care of it, water it etc. So, yes, I think it's definitely good to give kids the chance to grow and tend to plants or vegetables in the home. 


I don't know much about the development of the agricultural industry to be quite honest. All I know is that in the past there were less machines doing the work, and a lot more manual labour involved in farming. There are now a host of modern highly advanced tractors and specialist farming equipment that make all aspects of farming faster and more efficient – obviously, traditionally, these things all had to be done by hand.
