Vegetables you grow are also good for your health because they have more nutrients than supermarket vegetables and they don’t have chemicals．
How much money can you save? First of all，seeds are a lot of cheaper than vegetables，and secondly，you can save more by planting the most expensive and the most productive(多产的)vegetables．You can give your vegetables to friends and neighbors．It can make you very popular．
Don’t worry if you don’t have much space．To GIY，you don’t even need a garden．You can use pots on your balconies(阳台)．And don’t worry if your space doesn’t get much sun．You can plant vegetables that don’t need a lot of sun to grow．

Many people say that they are working too many hours. They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.
Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year.
Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.
Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks.
