Week 4 (Country Calendar) Activity 8

Country Calendar

Watch this short clip from Country Calendar. What do you think would be the most interesting and/or challenging things about being a farmer? Would you would like to be a farmer when you are older. Why/why not? Give us, at least, two reasons to support your answer.

I think the most challenging thing about being a farmer is keeping everything in order you would have so much to do and thinking of family at home. There's no way I would survive being a farmer reasons why well 1.I'm really scared of cows there just so big and bulls there massive jeez. 2.I'm super clumsy I would hurt myself all the time with anything especially picking apricots.
