A VISIT TO A FARM

Last summer, Peter and his classmates went to the countryside. They went to a visit a farm on which Peter’s Uncle Tom worked.

They left early in the morning and went there by bus. Uncle Tom and some workers met them at the bus stop and took them to their farm. On the way, Uncle Tom showed them the field of wheat (lúa mì) and vegetables where some tractors (máy kéo) were running up and down, plowing and breaking the soil, distributing manure (rải phân) and planting potatoes.

After lunch, they all went for a walk. In the large yard of the farm they saw some farm machines. Among them is the biggest machine which is called a combine harvester (máy gặt đập). They were told that this machine can cut and thresh corn at the same time.
