There are also some “houses” for cows and hens near the farmhouse. The field is not f{#blank#}8{#/blank#} from the farmhouse, so farmers always go to the field on f{#blank#}9{#/blank#}.

       A dormitory is a large bedroom in a s{#blank#}10{#/blank#}, and every 4—8 students share one dormitory. They share the same bathroom, but each student has his or her own bed. Students can learn how to get along well（相处）with each other in a dormitory.
