口语交际：养花

Steven看到Nora在阳台忙着不知道在做什么，于是走上前去询问。

Steven: What are you doing there, Nora? 诺拉，你在做什么？

Nora: The flowers died. I don’t know what to do. 我的花都枯萎了。我不知道该怎么办。

Steven: The soil is all dry.  土壤都是干的。

Nora: Yes, it is so hot.  是的，天气太热了。

Steven: So you need to water them more often.  你需要经常给它们浇水。

Nora: What shall I do now?  那我现在该怎么办？

Steven: Clean the flowerpot. Get some seeds, and we can grow some new flowers. 清理一下花盆。拿一些种子来，我们种一盆新花。

Nora: Good idea. Here are some flowers seeds.  好主意。这儿有一些花种子。

Steven: We need to put the seeds in the soil, then water them. 我们需要把种子放进土壤里，然后给它们浇水。
