The latest addition to the Gtech garden power tools is a lightweight but powerful wireless Leaf Blower. This autumn it will make the time of clearing leaves and garden pieces very short.
High performance
The 36V Lithium-ion Gtech Leaf Blower has the ability to clear pieces from your lawn, courtyard and driveway. The Leaf Blower uses a turbofan (涡轮风扇发动机) design that allows for a straight air passage from intake to outlet (出口), offering maximum airflow and efficiency that turn the fan at 11,500 times a minute.
Complete control
The Gtech Leaf Blower is lightweight, at just 4.3 kg. It has been designed so that the battery and product weight are reasonably distributed. When in use, it will naturally point towards the ground to direct the airflow. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about injuring your wrists, even if you use it for an entire 20-minute run-time with full power. The variable trigger (扳机) allows for complete control – when you squeeze or release the trigger you will feel the airflow change to suit your garden needs.
Easy to use
The Gtech Leaf Blower is easy to use. There is no need to pull wires or top it up with fuel, so simply attach the battery and pull the trigger to start. The product’s wireless convenience means there are no wires to trip you up or limit your access, and no petrol to store up or pour – simply charge it and it’s ready to go. When you’re done, you can remove the detachable nozzle (管口), so the Gtech Leaf Blower is compact enough to be stored in small places.
Don’t just take our word for it
We really do care what you think. Go online to see the thousands of independent reviews our customers have given us, and check out our product video at www.gtch.co.uk.

Some parts of the garden are for the rest of the world to admire. Others are for you to disappear to when you don't want to be found. Of course, that's easy enough to arrange when you have lots of land with space for the kids to run round and cosy "garden rooms" for the adults to enjoy. But when your garden is on the small side, you might think it's a tall order. Well, you're wrong.
To create a secret garden, people tend to take the routine: surrounding a small garden with high fences and then placing a lawn(草坪) in the middle and borders round the edge. Far from making the most of the area, that just makes it look a lot smaller and more boring. Dividing it up makes much more use of your space and means you can have your practical family area plus a secret garden.
When you're searching for the perfect secret site within your existing set-up, consider your present favourite spot. A secret garden needs to be special—a complete contrast to the more practical family parts of the garden. Perhaps you take a folding chair down to a quiet corner that gets evening sun; maybe you sit and watch the pond or simply slip out to the patio(露台)with a glass of wine.
It's quite easy to change an existing favourite feature into a secret place. You could top the patio with a pergola(棚架) pole and plant a grapevine for shade, or position a bench overlooking the pond and plant bamboos to screen it from the rest of the garden.
The areas you create needn't all to be the same size—or even the same style—but if you're planning a major redesign, take your time and work it out on paper before committing time and money. Then when it's done, you'll really be able to relax and enjoy it.
1.What assumption lies behind this passage?
A. Grapevine are widely used as shade in gardens.
B. Parents need their own space in the garden.
C. Family members should share everything.
D. Gardens are different in size and style.
2.The underlined phrase "a tall order" (in Paragraph 1) probably means ________.
A. a difficult task B. a costly decision
C. an unwise attempt D. an unfair business
3.What's the author's solution for a cozy space in a small garden?
A. Place a lawn in the middle.
B. Build borders around the lawn.
C. Surround the garden with high fences.
D. Have a separate space within the garden.
4.What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A. To offer tips on a small getaway in the garden.
B. To share personal experience in gardening.
C. To recommend best plants for small gardens.
D. To advertise some new designs of gardens.
