Lesson 3B:  Weekends with dad

A Meet my family

 


It’s time for you to meet my second family.
They have a sheep farm.
I usually spend every other weekend with them.

C Listening and reading

 

 

On the farm, everyone wakes up early.
We usually have a big breakfast because you need a lot of energy for the day. 
Life on the farm is not easy. 
There is always something to do. 
You have to work in the fields, feed the animals and clean after them. 
Dad and Michelle have almost no free time before evening. 
Jenny and I help to feed the animals in the morning. 
Later we help with lunch. But afternoons are just ours! 
We often visit a local horse farm and ride horses. They are such beautiful animals!

 

 

In the season, I sometimes help Dad with the sheep-shearing. 
I don’t like it that much, to be honest. 
We almost never go out in the evening, except for the big spring dance. 
We stay at home, talk and play games. 
Life on the farm is rarely exciting, but I love being on the farm with my second family, and I always want to come back the moment I leave.

Lesson 3B: Weekends with dad

A Meet my family

 

It’s time for you to meet my second family.

I usually spend every other weekend with them.

 

 

My dad, Mark, picks me up on a Saturday morning and takes me to the farm.
Lots of my friends think life on the farm is boring, but it’s actually never boring!
I’ll tell you more later.

 

 

I love going there, mostly because of Jenny, my half-sister.
But I never call her “half-sister”, just “sister”.
Jenny and I always have so much fun!
I miss her when I don’t see her.

 

 

My stepmum, Rose, is also very cool.
And she makes the best pavlova in the world!
