Life on the farm

    My uncle lives in a small town. He has a big farm. On his farm there are fifteen horses, eighteen sheep, twenty hens，eleven cows ,thirty ducks and a dog.

    My uncle usually gets up early in the morning. He usually gets up at 6:30. He has breakfast at 6:45.Then he goes to the supermarket to buy some meat with the dog at 7 o'clock. At half past eight he comes back from the town and feeds the animals. Then he milks the cow and picks up the eggs at about 10:30. He eats lunch at 12 o'clock. After lunch he needs to feed the animals again. In the afternoon, he always cleans up the stable and the hen house.

    When the sun goes down, the night becomes dark, everything around farm also becomes quite. After a day's work, my uncle locks the door and goes to visit his old friends.
