Scorify.uzQuestions and sample answers
Do you like trees and plants?
Yes, I do. Trees make a city feel calmer and cooler in summer, and plants inside the house make the air feel fresher. Walking under big trees is one of my favourite ways to relax.
Do you have any plants at home?
We have several, including a lemon tree in a pot and some geraniums on the balcony. My mother looks after them carefully, and I help by watering them when she is away.
Are there many trees in your city?
In the older districts, yes. Plane trees line many streets, and they give wonderful shade in July. However, some new areas have more concrete than greenery, which I find disappointing.
Did you ever plant a tree?
Yes, at school we joined a spring planting day and each class planted a few saplings. I still pass that school sometimes, and it is satisfying to see how tall they have grown.
Why is it important to protect trees?
They clean the air, reduce heat and provide homes for birds and insects. In dry regions like ours, they also help hold the soil, so cutting them down without replacing them causes long-term damage.
Would you like to have a garden in the future?
Definitely. I would grow tomatoes, herbs and a few fruit trees, as many families do in the countryside. Fresh produce tastes much better, and gardening seems like a peaceful hobby.
