Day 5-2

Do people in your country grow plants at home?

yeah, people in my country grow plants at home. but it isn't that popular. so people usually have their plants in their balcony. sometimes in front of their window. It isn't that easy to have their own garden, especially when they live in the big city like seoul. so It is not that normal but people usually have their vase or little cute plant indoor. 

 

Do people in your country grow plants at home?

"Yes, people in my country do grow plants at home, though it’s not extremely common. Most people keep their plants on their balconies or near windows where they can get enough sunlight. Having a full garden is difficult, especially for those living in big cities like Seoul, where space is limited. Instead, people usually keep small potted plants or succulents indoors as they require less space and maintenance. For example, a lot of people enjoy growing small plants like cacti or herbs on their kitchen windowsills because it brings a bit of nature indoors without needing much room."

Is it bad behavior for people to look at their phones during a meal?

Yes, I think It is very rude behavior.  while they are having some meal with other people because while we are eating, we also need to communicate with that people in front of me while we are eating something . of course it is very rude to talk with a mount of food in their own mouth but rather than  that, we just need to be very careful that we would not check our cellphone especially when we communicate with others. for that reason, I think it is very unprofessional and abnormal behavior to watch their cellphone while they are eating foods with others. 

 

Is it bad behavior for people to look at their phones during a meal?

"Yes, I think it’s quite rude to look at one’s phone during a meal, especially when eating with others. Mealtime is an important time to connect with the people around you, and constantly checking your phone can create a disconnect. For instance, if I’m having lunch with a friend, it feels disrespectful if they’re distracted by their phone rather than engaging in our conversation. It’s as if they’re not fully present. While talking with food in one’s mouth is also impolite, staying attentive and avoiding phones during meals is essential for showing respect and professionalism."

 

Why do people like to have a big meal at traditional festivals or big events?

Because we need to celebrate. I think people like to have their traditional meal in especially in the day of the big party or celebration. because that is the very important day. usually like to celebrate that day or event with great food so that I can be memorable so. for example, when it is christmas we usually eat turkey, because turkey is iconic food in christmas seasons. I think there's alot of reason but that can be make that day special and memorable. 

Why do people like to have a big meal at traditional festivals or big events?

"I think people enjoy having big meals at traditional festivals and events because it’s a way to celebrate and make the occasion memorable. Special foods often become symbols of these celebrations. For example, on Christmas, people in many countries eat turkey, as it’s iconic for the holiday season. Similarly, in Korea, we enjoy dishes like rice cakes and traditional pancakes during the Lunar New Year. These foods add meaning to the celebration and make it more festive. Sharing a big meal with family and friends makes the day feel unique and significant."

 

Do most people prefer vegetables bought from the supermarket or grown at home?

People prefer to have vegetables grown at home because that means we can fully understand how they are grown so becuase we can just watched all the process, but in reality, we couldn't really do that, because it is not easy to have our own garden all the way grown up, but if I am afforable, I am 100% going to do that. 

 

Do most people prefer vegetables bought from the supermarket or grown at home?

"Many people prefer vegetables grown at home because they can trust how they were cultivated and are confident in the freshness and quality. Homegrown vegetables also have the advantage of being pesticide-free and picked at the peak of ripeness. However, it’s not easy for everyone to grow their own produce, especially in urban areas without space for a garden. For example, I would love to grow my own vegetables if I had the time and resources, but right now, it’s more convenient to buy them from the supermarket. Still, if possible, many people would prefer homegrown vegetables for health and quality reasons."

 

Are there any difficulties when people grow plants in cities?

 

In city, there are a lot of difficulties to grow plants in cities because we need to take care of the a mount of waters and sunshine that the plants need while they are growing. so  

 

Are there any difficulties when people grow plants in cities?

"Yes, there are several challenges when growing plants in cities. Limited access to sunlight and fresh air is a common issue, as many city apartments don’t have outdoor space or sufficient natural light. Additionally, finding the right amount of water and creating an ideal growing environment can be difficult indoors. For example, in my apartment, I often struggle to keep plants healthy because they only get a few hours of sunlight each day. These constraints make it challenging for city residents to grow plants as easily as people in rural areas."
