Answer:

Leafing—a gardener tends plants that have leaves

Explanation:

A landscape can be Urban as well, but plants do tend to have leafs. It's a noticeably odd choice of words and it has a purpose. There's no pun in the use of the words "Enjoy" and "Magazine". But the word leaf can mean two things that relate to the gardener and his action in the excerpt:

<em>"a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk"</em>

or

<em>"turn over (the pages of a book or the papers in a pile), reading them quickly or casually"</em>

Your teacher has won a million dollars in the lottery. Write a five sentence paragraph advising what she should and/or shouldn't
Dovator [93]
Winning the lottery can tend to ruin many people’s life’s. So I would advice my teacher to be careful with the money and who she tells. Other than that I believe she should spoil herself as she deserves it. Or maybe make a fund for her child’s college. As long as my teacher is humble and careful she should spend her money however she wishes!
