Hello! My name is
Joseph and I’m a 12-yearsold
schoolboy
from
Manchester.
Last weekend I took part on a school trip with my classmates
from our primary school. We visited a large farm near
Manchester. I must admit it was awesome! Since I am a ‘cityboy’, I have never seen such wonderful animals.
I saw sheep eating grass in the pasture. The kind farmers
allowed us to milk the cows and stroke the calves and goats.
Furthermore, we could pick up the eggs from the henhouse.
However, the most fantastic experience was horse riding!
Trying it out was one of my oldest dreams. When I was sitting
on the horseback, I decided that I would be a professional rider
at all costs.
At the end of the day, we were invited for a traditional farm
dinner, which contained fresh pork chop, beefsteak with egg
and milk.
I can say undoubtedly that this day was the best day of my life.
I didn’t even want to go back to my crowded home city.
Find the pairs.
