FARM AND COUNTRY HOLIDAYS
Exercise 1c Listen and read.

My name is Scott Greenhill, and I’m twelve years old. I come from Cardiff, in Wales.

My grandparents live in the country, in a small village called Cerrigydrudion.

I often spend my weekends or holidays on their farm. If you think that a farm holiday is boring, then you are wrong. You can have such a good time!

When I’m with my grandparents, I get up early because there’s always a lot of work to do.

In the morning, I feed the chickens, collect the eggs and let the white pony out.

It’s my favourite animal and I sometimes go pony-trekking! It’s great fun.

My grandfather hasn’t got any horses because he’s got a tractor. He says that tractors don’t get tired.

My grandparents don’t have to shop for food very often because they’ve got chickens and eggs, and they grow their own vegetables.

They’ve got ten cows and have to milk them twice a day. Now they don’t have to do it by hand because they’ve got a milking machine.

Today farmers use a lot of machines but I think they still have to work very hard.

There’s so much to see and do in Cerrigydrudion. You can go fishing or swimming in the lake or in the river near the village.

You can go on a country hike and explore the green hills around the village, you can have a picnic, go for walks in the forest…

And I like my grandma’s home cooking very much. Country air works up my appetite.
