Last week Nick and some of his classmates went to the countryside. They went to visit a farm of Nick’s uncle.

They left early in the morning and went there by bus. Nick’s uncle, Mr. Brown met them at the bus stop and took them to his farm. Uncle Brown showed them the field of wheat and vegetables where some tractors were running up and down, ploughing and breaking soil, distributing manure 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. They were told that this machine can cut and thresh corn at the same time.

In the afternoon, they went to the place where cattle such as horses, sheep and cows were raised. They were very excited to see how cows were milked by the workers there. Uncle Brown also spoke about many interesting things in the countryside. After having some fruits and cakes, they said goodbye and went home.

Jenny: I think this flat is the best we've seen so far. Rents seem to be getting higher and higher. But this one's the least expensive and it's the ¹ nearest to the city centre.

Beth: But it's the one with the fewest rooms and the least space.

Jenny: So you prefer the flat in the ² worst location and with the ³ highest rent?

Beth: The location isn't that bad. It's ⁴ farther from the centre than the other two, but you can get to the train station more easily. And it's much ⁵ more spacious than the other two flats.

Jenny: Can we afford it, though? The more we spend on rent, the less we'll have for other things.

Beth: Actually, it's less expensive than it seems because the rent includes all the bills.

Jenny: Tôi nghĩ căn hộ này là căn hộ tốt nhất mà chúng tôi từng thấy từ trước đến nay. Giá thuê dường như ngày càng cao hơn. Nhưng cái này ít tốn kém nhất và nó là cái gần nhất với trung tâm thành phố.

Beth: Nhưng đó là nơi có ít phòng nhất và ít không gian nhất.

Jenny: Vậy bạn thích căn hộ ở vị trí tệ nhất và có giá thuê cao nhất sao?

Beth: Vị trí không tệ lắm. Nó xa trung tâm hơn với hai cái còn lại, nhưng bạn có thể đến ga xe lửa dễ dàng hơn. Và nó rộng rãi hơn nhiều so với hai căn hộ kia.

Jenny: Chúng ta có đủ khả năng không? Chúng ta càng chi nhiều tiền thuê nhà, chúng ta càng có ít tiền cho những thứ khác.

Beth: Trên thực tế, nó ít tốn kém hơn vì tiền thuê nhà đã bao gồm tất cả các hóa đơn.
