Write a short essay of about 200 words on "The Uses of Flowers"
1      Flowers can be used for many occasions. Sad occasions, happy
2 occasions are some of them.
3      Most frequently, flowers are given to the female by the
4 males as a sense of love. When they go out, the male would usually
5 give his date a bunch of red roses. Even when
6 proposing, he would give his future wife a bunch
7 of red roses.
8      Usually, when there is a sad occasion such as a death
9 of your relative, people would buy chrysanthemums to
10 put on their graveyard. A rose or two could be found
11 together sometimes, but most preferred would be the
12 chrysanthemums.
13      When a happy occasion arrives, the house would
14 be decorated with flowers of different sizes and colours.
15 Most of the flowers are not real, though. The are
16 made of plastic. Whether plastic or alive, they would
17 look brilliant even when put in a dull coloured
18 house. The flowers would usually be arranged by
19 a professional. If it is an alive one, they would
20 usually cost about $50 to $70. When plastic,
21 it would usually cost $10 to $25. Usually during
22 Chinese New Year, the Chinese would buy a kind
23 of tree that have fluffy white buds hanging
24 around them.
25      Sometimes, the Malays say, when you haven't
26 found your life partner, they would bathe the
27 girl in a flower bath. They would usually
28 find a partner if fate agreed. It is practised
29 in the olden days. The Malays belived it would
30 work. There are less of them practised now. The
31 person who would have to go through the practise
32 is the girl. The male don't have to go through it
33 as the boy would then be match-maked
34 with the girl who went through the practise.
