Fill in the blanks with proper words
Last August I went to
Tom's farm to help him. August is the b{#blank#}1{#/blank#}time
of the year for farmers, because it is then that they have to cut the corn. It
is also the time I had chosen for my holiday, so I decided to do something t{#blank#}2{#/blank#}was
useful and at the same time quite different from my work at the office in
London. Luckily the weather was fine during two weeks on the farm.
One cannot cut the corn
when it is wet, because it will go bad when one piles it up if it is not dry.
The farmers have to wait for sunshine, and then cut and d{#blank#}3{#/blank#}the
corn quickly before rain comes.
My job in the fields was
to throw the corn onto the high carts pulled by two huge horses each. Luckily I
am quite a strong man, so that I was a{#blank#}4{#/blank#}to
satisfy my critical fellow-workers, who were mostly men and had done this kind
of work all their lives. When I woke up the next day, I was so tired that I
could h{#blank#}5{#/blank#}stand up after all the work I had done
the day before. This was not surprising of course. However, by the time I
walked out to the field, I had become stronger and h{#blank#}6{#/blank#}.Of course, I also grew hungrier day by
day, but luckily there was good food in large quantities to eat on the farm,
and I would always take more t{#blank#}7{#/blank#} I
used to when I worked in the office.
