内容正文:
Friday, the thirty years of may today, we went on a school trip to a farm. IT was tiring, but great fun. In the morning, we explored the farm. There were large tents with tomatoes, cucumber, pers and many other fruits and vegetables. The farmer told us about how these fruits and vegetables go from the fields to our tables. I was very interested because I usually only see them in the supermarket. Then we got straight to work. First, we picked some strawberries. The work seemed easy, but he took time to get IT right. Slowly, we failed many baskets. In the afternoon, the farmer taught us how to cut branches and leaves from tomato plans. This helps them to grow more fruit. Finally, we watered the plants. Plants need so much work. IT was tiring, but I enjoyed working with my hand. One thing I learned today, farming isn't easy. He made me think of the saying, every grain comes from hard work. The farmer let us take some vegetables home. My mom cooked some for dinner, and they were fresh and delicious. They certainly taste Better when you work for them. Today was really a day to remember.
