I just experienced a new way of learning called an educational tour. It was an out-of-school activity. On September 22, I got up early. I was excited to take the educational tour.

We knew nothing about using a sickle before. “Take your sickle, bend down, hold the rice stems, and cut them at 15-25 centimetres above ground level,” said the farmer. He was patient and nice. “Oh, that’s easy,”I said to myself. But it wasn’t. It took me ten minutes to learn the basic skills. 2 Read the passage and choose a title for it.
