Make Home a Little Nicer
Some people think that if they don’t have a yard, they can’t keep a garden. Fortunately, that’s not
true. For people who live in apartment buildings, there is another option: rooftop gardens.
A rooftop garden is just a garden that you keep on your roof. Rooftop gardens are very popular in
cities. Most building roofs go to waste - people don’t use that space for anything. Putting a garden on
your roof is a nice way to turn an empty space into something that is pretty and relaxing.
Rooftop gardens are not a new idea. About 2,600 years ago, people in Ancient Mesopotamia
planted rooftop gardens. There were similar gardens in Ancient Rome and Ancient Egypt. These
gardens had a very important purpose. Many ancient cities had walls. The enemy army usually tried
to destroy the city’s food, so the people in the city kept their gardens on top of their walls. That way,
they could continue to grow food.
Today’s rooftop gardens don’t keep us alive, but they still have nice benefits. Plants absorb heat,
so if there are a lot of them on a rooftop, they make the whole building cooler. As a result, people in
the building use the air conditioning less, which means they use less electricity. One study said that if
every roof in Tokyo had a garden, the city would save more than one million dollars a day on
electricity.
Rooftop gardening is harder than regular gardening. Here are some tips. First of all, be safe. Build
a fence around your garden. You don’t want the wind to blow plants off your roof! Also, remember
that rooftop gardens get more sun. If you have a plant that shouldn’t get too much sun, remember to
put it in the shade sometimes.

It is difficult to write rules that tell exactly when we should apologize, but it is not difficult to learn
how. If we have done something to hurt someone’s feeling or if we have been impolite or rude, we
should apologize. An apology indicates that we realize we have made a mistake, and we are sorry for
it. It is a way of expressing our regret for something. When we apologize, we admit our wrongdoing,
usually offer a reason for it, and express regret.
The simplest way to apologize is to say “I’m sorry”, but often that is not enough. Let’s take a
common situation. Mario is late for class and enters the classroom, interrupting the teacher in the
middle of the class. What does he do? The most polite action is usually to take a seat as quietly as
possible and apologize later. But if the teacher stops and waits for him to say something, he could
apologize simply “I’m sorry I’m late”, ask permission to take his seat, and sit down. Naturally, more
than this, a reason for the tardiness, is needed, but this is not the time or the place for it because he
has already caused one interruption and doesn’t need to make it any longer or worse than it already is.

A. we realize our wrongdoing.
B. we express our happiness.
C. we express our sadness and unluckiness.
D. we admit our wrongdoing, offer a reason for it, and express regret.

A. when we have been impolite, rude or done something to hurt someone’s feeling.

C. when we feel tired and make mistake.

Câu 36: The word “rude” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by ________.
A. correct behavior B. incorrect behavior C. good behavior D. polite
