Text for question number 16 – 20

Fresh Food
Every week people go to the supermarket to buy vegetables like green beans and cucumber that come from
big farms. Some supermarkets also sell fruit and vegetables from small local farms. But most people think food from
the garden is fresher and tastes better than food from a supermarket.
Some lucky people have space to grow food in their own gardens. For example, they grow carrots, onions,
and cabbages. Many other people do not have space at home, but sometimes they work together to grow food in a
community garden.
It’s easier than you think to grow vegetables. First you dig. Then you plant the seeds. But remember to water
the plants, and you have to weed the garden sometimes. When the vegetables are ripe, they are ready to pick.

WHERE’S YOUR FOOD FROM

Some fruits and vegetables travel a long way to get to your table. Thanks to transportation, you can enjoy watermelon
or strawberries any time of the year. But many people prefer to eat local food from community gardens or local farms.
These small local farms produce fruit, vegetables, and grains. Some of them also raise animals for milk and meat.
People can have fresher food because these farmers grow it locally.
What about cities? There isn’t much space to have farms. One way to grow food in a city is on a roof. In this garden, a
class of children grew 453 kg ( 1,000 pounds ) of vegetables in one year. The children grew cabbages, carrots, lettuce,
and even strawberries. They had to water the plants and weed them, but they enjoyed the food they grew in their
