Have students answer the second question on page 15. When I was young I grew corn in my grandparents’ garden in the spring. I planted twenty seeds in two rows and watered them. Within a few days, I noticed the first green plants appearing. Thereafter, I fertilized and watered the plants regularly as they grew. I also often checked the leaves of my plants to ensure they had no pests. After three months, eight corncobs were ready for harvesting. My grandparents helped me harvest them early one morning. We cooked them for lunch and dinner, and they were very tasty. I would like to grow Chinese broccoli because it is my favourite vegetable and this type of plant requires minimal care. I will sow seeds in autumn as the plants prefer cool onditions. After regular watering, the plants should appear within ten days. I will check the size of the leaves as they grow to determine when to harvest. It should take about two months. When I notice the first flowers, I will harvest the plants’ stems and leaves. Then I will ask my mum to stir-fry Chinese broccoli in my favourite way. 5. Have students work in pairs and discuss the following questions. (1) What else do you know about crops? Crops refer to plants that are grown in large quantities, especially as food. Crops can be divided into two categories—food crops and cash crops. However, the boundary between these two categories is not clear-cut. (2) What are the common crops grown in our country? Rice, wheat and corn are the main food crops grown in our country. Cotton, peanuts,tea and sunflowers are the main cash crops. 教学反思： 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
