A Trip to the Farm: Meeting Animals (Nivel Básico A2)

Last weekend, I went to a farm with my family. It was a sunny day, and we were all excited to meet the animals and learn about life on the farm. Let me tell you about my trip!

Arriving at the Farm

We arrived at the farm in the morning. The first thing I saw was a big red barn and a lot of green fields. There were many animals walking around. I could hear cows mooing and chickens clucking. It was so lively!

Meeting the Animals

Our first stop was the cow pasture. The cows were big and calm, standing in the shade of some trees. The farmer handed me a bunch of hay and showed me how to feed them. One cow came close and gently ate from my hand. It was amazing to feel its soft nose!

Next, we went to see the sheep. They were fluffy and white, standing together in a group. When I got closer, one of them looked at me and made a soft "baa" sound. I couldn’t help but laugh—it was so cute! Nearby, the chickens were busy clucking and scratching the ground. The farmer showed me their nests, and I carefully picked up some eggs to put in a basket.

Finally, we visited the horses. They were tall and strong, standing by the fence. The farmer gave me some carrots, and I held one out. A brown horse gently took the carrot from my hand. I could feel its warm breath, and it made me smile.

Learning About Farm Life

A farmer showed us how to take care of the animals. He said cows need to be milked every day, and chickens need fresh water and food. He also told us about planting vegetables and growing crops. It was hard work but very interesting.

Fun Activities

After meeting the animals, we climbed onto a big tractor for a ride around the farm. The engine roared as we passed fields of corn and wheat. The wind felt cool on my face, and I waved to the sheep as we drove by.

Later, we had a picnic under a big tree. We ate sandwiches and fruit while enjoying the fresh air. The farm dog, Max, joined us and played fetch with my little brother. He wagged his tail and barked happily every time we threw the stick.

Heading Home

At the end of the day, we bought some fresh milk and eggs to take home. The trip was amazing, and I learned so much about farm life. I can’t wait to visit again!
