Trang 1Talk about the life of a farmer
Mr Lim is a farmer by profession and he is proud of being
one His holdings are small, but he feels they are enough
for him
He owns a few hectares of good land, a ploughing
machine and a small cottage His fields are fed with water
from a stream As a modern farmer he has a pumpset for
pumping water So his fields are never allowed to go dry
Trang 2He grows mainly paddy, in a small patch of land he has
the vegetable garden
Usually he is an early riser He starts his pump and waters
his fields He will be going round to see whether water
does not overflow He may remove the weeds from among
the plants He goes into the vegetable garden to see if
there is any pick for the day He trims the hedges, digs the
plots or dresses them up for the next planting He is fond
of his flower pots of which he has a few He takes pride in
them
Trang 3After these morning rounds he takes his breakfast It is his
gossiping time He meets others and takes part in the
village gossip He cannot read, he learns about with
morning news As it is common nowadays, he discusses
with his friend the day’s politics Sometimes, the
commission agent may come, and our friend will talk to
him about the market prospects
In the afternoon, after a wash and a lunch, he stretches
himself for a mid-days siesta He gets up and after a cup
Trang 4of tea, he goes to the fields and sees everything is in
order Then he takes a stroll in the nearly towns and
makes some purchases for the house That is also the
time for him to meet friends and exchange views
He returns home and had an early dinner He plans for the
next day Sometimes it may be taking the grains to the
market, it may be transplanting; some other times it may
be taking the machine for repair Thus he leads a simple
life and he is contented
