Day One
第一天
The colour of the soil looks darker because I have just watered it. In the centre of the pot, I can see a tiny sprout that has grown from the potato under the soil. I'll call it Buddy. Buddy is green and yellow. I wonder how fast it will grow.
因为我刚刚浇过水，土壤颜色看起来变深了。在花盆的中间，我可以看到一个小芽，它从土壤下面的土豆里面长出来，我叫它小芽。小芽是绿黄色的。我想知道它的生长速度。
Day Six
第六天
Without much change in the past six days, I finally see some new progress on Buddy as it has grown taller. It's exciting to see new life like this. I hope Buddy can grow faster.
在过去的六天没有太大的变化，最终我发现小芽有了变化，因为它长高了。看到新生命我很兴奋，我希望它长得快点儿。
Day Eleven
第十一天
Buddy is getting larger! Three more new sprouts have grown around Buddy! Green leaves have grown on the new sprouts, but they have not fully grown yet. I guess I need to be a bit more patient.
小芽变大了！在小芽周围长出了更多的新芽。新发的芽已经长出绿叶了，但是还没完全张开。我觉得我要耐心一些。
Day Thirteen
第十三天
Buddy continues to grow taller. The leaves on the new sprouts have grown a bit. I'm also excited to see more new sprouts that have grown from under the soil.
小芽越来越高了，新芽也长了一些。看到越来越多的芽破土而出我很高兴。
Day Fifteen
第十五天
Finally, the leaves on the other sprouts are 3 cm tall. They're so green. I hope they will soon grow into new potatoes.
最后，其他发的芽的叶子已经长到3厘米，呈现翠绿色。我希望它们快点儿长出新土豆。
What I have learned
我学到的知识
It's really interesting to grow potatoes. During these fifteen days, I have learned that growing potato plants needs plenty of water. If the soil is dry, the potato will fail to grow. I have also learned that the temperature needs to be right. If it is too cold, it won't grow.
种土豆很有趣，在这半个月内，我知道了种土豆需要足够的水，如果土壤干燥，土豆就不会生长了。我也明白了温度要适中。如果温度太低，它也不会生长。
I feel that growing plants is just like trying to succeed with anything in life—it takes not only time, but also lots of effort and patience.
我觉得种出植物就像在生活中取得成功，不仅需要时间，还需要足够努力和耐心。
