Short Answers
1. I would use my crops to get food because I could use it for emergencies. For example,
if I get fired from my owner, I would get no food from my owner. Now since I am
fired from my owner, I need to find my own food. So now, I can use those plant’s
seeds to grow my own crops.
2. I would get a laptop with internet so I could play games, watch videos, etc. For
example, if there was nothing to do or if I was bored, I could use the internet and do
some research about something or go to YouTube and watch videos.
