There has been a remarkable rise in the popularity of house plants over the past few years，with trendy new shops popping up all over the country selling every kind of plant you can imagine. （1）EEBut follow a few basic tips and you'll soon get the hang of it.
Choosing your plant doesn't seem that simple.It's a common mistake to wander into a shop and grab the plant that you first fall for，but it's important to understand what type of environment you're introducing it to before picking one out. （2）GGFor example，some plants are better suited to maximum light and heat，while others prefer cooler spots.
（3）BBOne of the most common reasons for houseplant killing is overwatering.You might think it has a constant thirst but chances are it won't take to spending extended periods sitting in wet soil.Every plant is different，so research is once more key，but generally home-dwellers like watering most when they're growing rapidly （spring and summer） and prefer an occasional water when the soil is dry，rather than as a daily routine. （4）DD
Your plants may actually need feeding.While some house plants don't need many nutrients to grow，others are greedy for extra nutritional goodness（especially those that display flowers and fruits）.（5）FFAnd you'll also need to check what type of fertilizer each variety requires and how much to use each time.
A.Using good soil for your plant is vital.
B.Different plants require different amounts of water.
C.Taking care of plants is much easier than raising other creatures.
D.And always use water that has been brought up to room temperature.
E.Looking after house plants isn't always as straightforward as some think.
F.As with watering，they'll need more food during their growing season than during winter.
G.A little research before buying will save you lots of stress when you get your plants home.

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
