Some people swear that talking to their plants helps them grow. Would you ever give it a try?

A natural way to answer

I'm a bit sceptical, to be honest. I doubt the plants understand me, but I suppose talking to them means I notice them more, so maybe that's where the benefit comes from. I'd try it for fun.

Key phrases to use

• give it a go — to try something, often something new or uncertain“I'll give it a go and see what happens.”
• lap it up — to enjoy something, especially attention, with obvious pleasure“The kids were lapping up all the attention.”
