It was sunny last Saturday. I felt bored, so I rode a bicycle to a farm near a hill with some friends.
A farmer there welcomed us warmly. 1 We saw a lot of hens, ducks and pigs there.We were like birds out of the cage ( 笼子 ). 2 Mary tried to get some apples on a tree.At the same time, Mike was also busy picking some. I wondered how big the farm was, so I talked with the farmer. Then I got to the top of the hill and took quite a few beautiful photos.But Jack seemed to dislike these activities. 3
4 Luckily, the farmer prepared some delicious food for us. Of course, we must pay for it, but all of us still thanked him so much. To remember what we did, I wrote down the differences between the school and the farm in my diary. Sure, it will be a sweet memory in the future.
