3. Read the paragraph below, looking for clues about the author’s point of view.

Some people think it is easy to grow vegetables, pick them, and have delicious carrots, tomatoes, beans, and cucumbers all season long. They believe the seeds just have to be planted and then watered, and soon all kinds of vegetables will be growing in the garden. That is only half true. Growing vegetables is hard work and takes quite a bit of time. Planting the seed is just the start of the work. Weeds have to be pulled from the area constantly. The ground has to be checked to make sure the seeds are getting enough water. If it doesn’t rain often enough, the tiny seedlings have to be watered by hand. Sometimes after the vegetables start come up, bugs or even animals will decide to make the carrots, beans, or other vegetables their lunch. All that hard work can amount to almost nothing.
