31.________
Cities are full of cars，factories，and buildings that make the air dirty and hot. Parks and gardens can help fix this problem. Trees and plants in green spaces absorb harmful gases and produce fresh oxygen，which makes the air healthier to breathe. They also provide shade and help cool down the environment，especially during hot summers. Without green spaces，cities would feel much hotter and more uncomfortable.

Spending time in parks is not just fun—it’s good for your health. Studies show that people feel less stressed and happier when they are close to nature. Parks also give people a chance to exercise，like walking，jogging，or cycling. These activities keep the body fit and help prevent many health problems. Green spaces are also great for mental health，helping people feel calm and refreshed after a busy day.
33.________
Parks are places where people can meet and enjoy time together. Families can have picnics. Kids can play games，and friends can join in outdoor events like yoga classes or local festivals. These activities bring people closer，create friendships，and build stronger communities.
34.________
Parks and gardens are homes for many animals and plants. Birds，butterflies，and other small creatures find shelter there. Flowers and trees grow，helping to protect nature in busy cities. Green spaces are also a great way to teach people about why we need to take care of the environment.
