Last week, Peter and 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. 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.

In the afternoon they went to the cattle farm. Horses, sheep and cows were raised here, and cows were milked once a day. Uncle Tom also spoke about different things and about life in town and in the country. After having some tea and cakes they said goodbye and went home.

Answer questions:

1. How did Peter and his classmates go to Uncle Brown?

2. What does his uncle grow on his farm?

3. What can a tractor do?

4. What is typical of a combine harvester?

5. Which kinds of cattle are raised in Uncle Brown's farm.
