Are there many public gardens in your country? To be honest, there are only a few public gardens due to the shortage of residential areas especially in large towns and cities. The authorities seem to pay excessive attention to economic growth and ignore the provision of green spaces for citizens’ enjoyment and relaxation. For example, Madrid City has a small number of public gardens, but a lot of high-rise buildings. 13.2. Do you think there are enough public gardens in your hometown? Personally, I think the number of public gardens in my hometown is insufficient. Due to the shortage of housing and the increasing number of citizens, people tend to make use of land for living or cultivation rather than giving priority to public areas such gardens or parks. 13.3. What do you think are the benefits of having gardens in the city? Having sufficient urban green spaces will bring many ecological and health benefits for the city and its residents. Regarding the environmental benefit, public gardens help to preserve various species of wild plants, they have beautiful flowers and they keep the ecological balance of the area. City gardens also have a positive impact on the health of city dwellers and factory workers. 13.4. Very often, public gardens are not designed in a simple way but, instead, are laid out in a rather complex way. Why do you think this is the case? In my opinion, a public garden built in a complex design pattern is very eye– catching and attractive for people to visit. A garden consisting of sculptures, various rare species of plants and special landscaping will be more appealing to visitors who wish to explore something unique. To make an analogy, I believe that public gardens are designed to capture public attention in the same way that architects design the structure of their buildings. 13.5. Do you think governments should provide more public gardens for people to visit? Of course, I definitely agree with the idea that governments and authorities ought to provide more public gardens for their citizens for the following reasons. Public gardens are collections of plants and flowers; they are used not only for enjoyment but also education so that people, especially children, can have the chance to understand and be close to nature. In this function as outdoor classrooms , they raise an awareness of environmental issues as well as the conservation of special species. Also, urban green spaces play an important role in leisure and recreation – imagine the pleasure of sitting and reading a book or strolling and chatting with friends, surrounded by the sight and smells of beautiful flowers. 13.6. What do people do when they go to a public garden? There are various reasons why citizens go to a public garden, but I think the main one is to find an oasis of peace and tranquility amid the frenzy and chaos of city life. Residents in general can go there to enjoy the fresh, tranquil atmosphere and relax themselves simply by appreciating the beauty of the flowers and the songs of the birds. Moreover, it is very practical for children and students to visit public gardens in order to be in touch with nature and acquire knowledge about it. As a student, I would say that public gardens are also a great place to read a book and to reflect on the lectures or seminars of the day. 13.7. How do people of different age groups use public gardens? Different age groups will have dissimilar preferences in using public gardens. For example, elderly people tend to go there to relax, go jogging or doing exercises like tai chi. Then again, when public gardens also incorporate play areas, these are very safe environments in which parents can keep a watchful eye on their children. VOCABULARY Download 1.86 Mb.
