Last weekend I went to Old Farm. The
farm has many animals. There are
cows, sheep and horses in the fields.
There are sixty seven cows, eighty
three sheep and six beautiful horses.
There are rabbits, chickens and ducks
too. The ducks were on the pond. I
talked to Ben. Ben is sixteen years old
and he works on the farm. His favourite
animal is a baby lamb.
Exploit the scene by asking the Ss to describe
what they can see. This will help students with
pronunciation and meaning.

Key:
Look at the picture and read the text.
1. Click on the audio and listen to the text.
Think about how to answer it.
2. What’s different? Mark / write down
differences. You can press ‘pause’ at any
time and listen again.
Teachers’ tip: In pairs, children read the scripts
but change some words (e.g. change 67 to 61).
Other children listen and have to say which
words are different.
Additional activity:
1. Ask your students to work in pairs.
2. Give out Handout 2.
3. Each student imagines a farm and writes about it in “Me” section.
4. Ask Student A to tell a partner about the farm. The partner completes the text in “My
classmate” section.
5. Ask students to compare versions.
6. Switch the roles and proceed to the end so this basically becomes a pairwork
dictation.
