ON THE FARM 在农场
今天是长时期六，Peter和他Susan在农场里给jenny带路。
Susan Those fields are ours, and those too.
Jenny What sort of animals do you raise?
Peter Just about everything. It’s like a farm in a children’s story book.
Susan He’s exaggerating, but we keep quite a lot of different animals, Here in the farmyard, we have ducks, chidkens and a few pigs. Then, in that field we have a few sheep.
Jenny And some lambs, too.
Susan Yes. And in this field as you can see, we have cows.
Jenny Why are they making that noise?
Susan They need milking. I asked my husband to do it, but he must have forgotten. I suppose that I’ll have to do it. Would you like to help me to milk the cows?
Jenny Yews. I’d love to.
Peter And I’d like to watch you milk the cows!
