Text for Speaking Practice

My family has a small garden in our

house. This small garden is located on the

roof of the house, which was made by father

and mother. In our garden, there are various

flowers and small plants. Some types of

flowers planted by my mother and I are

roses, paper flowers, and wijayakusuma

flowers that bloom at certain times. In

addition, there are also chili plants, tomatoes,

and some vegetable plants in our roof

garden. While in front of the house, there is a

guava tree that often bears fruit.

On weekends, my parents would take

my younger brother and I to clean the

garden. I got the task of sweeping the garden

using a garden broom, while my younger

brother was in charge of watering the plants

with a hose. Sometimes, mom would plant

new plants and dad would help dig up the

soil where the plants would be planted using

shovel.
