    Task2:
    Yesterday our class went to the Farintosh Farms. There were a lot of different kinds of vegetables, for example beans, eggplant and a lot of vegetables I do not the name. The farm is very huge and very beautiful.
    I am very enjoy this field trip, because this is my first time go to a farm. I can pick up beans and corns by myself.
    Unfortunately, there were only corns and beans we can picked up, and yesterday was very cold. So I hope next we can choose a better day to go to the field trip.
