1. Narrating an Experience of Tending to Indoor Plants at Home, Sample 1 (Standard)
During summer break, I spent an extended period at my grandparents' house, which was a meaningful time for me. I engaged in various positive activities, notably assisting my grandfather with caring for ornamental plants.
My grandfather is very fond of ornamental plants, particularly those that are simple and familiar, such as orchids, silk trees, greenery, wood trees, and many flowering plants like money plants, roses, and daisies. Every time I returned to the countryside, I admired his garden, filled with lush greenery interspersed with vibrant flowers. Each morning, I woke up early, holding a small spray bottle to water the orchid baskets, then using a watering can with a sprinkler to water larger flower clusters like money plants and roses. Meanwhile, my grandfather watered the larger trees, holding a long hose directly connected to the water tap and watering thoroughly. Not only did he water the roots of the plants, but he also sprayed water high up onto the leaves, creating a refreshing shower that cleansed the dust and rejuvenated the plants. Being watered, the plants swayed joyfully, enjoying the cool and refreshing sensation. Watching the water droplets linger on the leaves, sparkling in the early morning sunlight, was as enchanting as crystal beads.
Through the act of watering plants for my grandfather, I realized that regardless of what we do, we must invest our love, diligence, and passion to reap beautiful results. Just like my grandfather, who cultivated a splendid garden of greenery.

Our family garden is adorned with myriad greenery, each plant representing the dedication of my grandfather and father. Some have grown alongside me, while others were gifts from my grandfather. Hence, I take immense pleasure in caring for these plants daily.
Except for rainy days, I'm eager to water the plants surrounding our house every day. It feels like forgetting to water the plants for a day is akin to depriving them of water for a whole day, as if the plants were thirstily silent. Every time I water the plants, I feel joyous, speaking to each plant, encouraging them to drink quickly, grow tall, bloom beautifully, and yield delicious fruits.
Once, when I fell ill and had to be hospitalized, my parents stayed by my side, taking care of me. After a week of returning home, I looked at the garden with sorrow; every plant seemed droopy and withered, some even on the brink of exhaustion. Immediately, I watered them, apologizing for not being able to care for them properly, especially during the unfortunate dry spell. Just after a day of watering, the plants inside the house looked much livelier, as if they had recovered along with me.
Since then, I've been more attentive to caring for the plants. If I can't water them, I'll ask my parents or someone at home to do it.

Plants are like our companions, providing oxygen and purifying the air we breathe. That's why I cherish greenery, always eager to nurture and protect it.
Our home is situated in the city, with limited space for planting, so we only have a pomegranate tree in front of our house. Being near a busy road, it accumulates a lot of dust, causing its leaves to turn brown due to dust accumulation. The roots are beneath a concrete layer, so even when it rains, they don't absorb much water. Therefore, I often water the tree and even pull the watering hose to the second floor of our house to water the leaves, helping to wash away the dust. Once, I noticed a branch showing unusual signs, withered and turning yellow. Upon investigation, I found a worm inside the branch, causing it pain and weakening its vitality. I asked my father to buy medicine and injected it into the branch. After three days, the branch gradually recovered, shedding its withered leaves but sprouting numerous new shoots from the trunk.
Every year, the pomegranate tree shades our home and yields sweet ripe pomegranates. I believe rescuing the branch infested by worms was a way of expressing gratitude to the pomegranate tree.
