Am I really here, on the other side of the world? I can’t believe that only a couple of weeks ago I was saying goodbye to everyone back home and leaving. But Australia already feels just like home! I know you all laughed when I told you I was going to work on an organic farm in Australia. I don’t know why because I love being outdoors and I’m very interested in the environment. In fact, I think I want to study environmental science when I go to university. So this is a great way to find out more about the subject and to see if it really is for me. So, we get up every day at 5 o’clock and after a good breakfast we go out to do our work. This week I’m helping in the vegetable garden. The owners of the farm take their vegetables to the local market twice a week so our job is to pick and pack. At the moment it’s tomatoes and cucumbers. I’m looking forward to the fruits. They’ll be ready in a couple of months. There are six of us helping the farm owners: me, two students from Japan, one from France and two from Germany so I’m the only native speaker of English. You can imagine how much we laugh when everyone’s trying to speak English! There are also some animals on the farm: chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and cows, oh, and of course Daisy the dog. She looks after everyone! I hope I can help with the animals soon because I want to learn as much as possible before I leave. Look out for my next blog. I’ll put up some photos so you can see how beautiful it is here. Are the sentences True (T) or False (F)?
