Well, I’d like to talk about a skill that was difficult to learn. It was gardening. You know, gardening was one of the most difficult activities in the world across the globe because gardening includes a lot of activities. For example, cleaning, sealing, watering and just like this. Creating green landscapes was difficult. We should spend around five hours per day and I didn’t have enough time and I just didn’t want to spend a lot of time for gardening when I was a child. My grandparents were busy with this type of fields and we had a large backyard inside the house. They tried to spend a lot of time watering and growing flowers because all of us love foot green spaces and breathing fresh air. So after seeing these hard works, I promised myself I will never do these type of activities in the future. I quickly realized that I am not an industrious person. After that, I just wanted to plant some special flowers which is given by my school teacher and it was really expensive but not reasonable price. After that, I tried to take care of the environment and creating the fresh air. After seeing colorful flowers, I decided to plant different plants and trees through trees. Eventually, I learned it from my grandparents and it made me feel calm and distressed. It was one of the most enjoyable activities, giving a chance to get away from the hustle and and the muscle of the city life and this skill has advantages rather than disadvantages.
