the country for a weekend but which

house

look at this Natalie lots of houses how

about this one near a river or this one

it has a great view it's on a hill this

one's nice

hill

a problem with the rent what

but that's double that's double the

present read yes yes I will think about

much

move to the country I wonder Rita asked

James and Julia to come to a meeting

tomorrow morning at 9:30

I have to tell you something

we have to move the company to a new

office move but I think that's a great

idea

good we should be in the center of town

we'll be near our customers the

transport is better Julia there are lots

of good restaurants Julia I think we

should move to the country here Oh Tom

Hall has to move the company what does

Julia think of this idea I think that's

a great idea we should be in the center

of town

but Tom Hall doesn't want to move to the

center of town I think we should move to

the country Julia isn't sure she likes

where she lives

do you like where you live yes I like

living there there are lots of open

spaces and it is very green and there is

also a forest which is nice to walk

through I can't really say I do like

living in town I'm really much more of a

country person but this is where the

work is I really like living in Santa

Clara it's close to where I work and

it's a small community more or less and

it's a very green community with lots of

trees and it's relatively quiet and I

feel safe there

Town moss is visiting country mouse

welcome to the country come on I'll show

you around hmm what's this don't you

mean no it's a flower that's a cow

everything is better in the town come

and see hey you can't walk there no you

can't walk on the grass in town no oh

what's that that's a dog that's a dog

where are you going

I'm going home I'm going back to the

country which house I think the house

near the river is the best house for you

Natalie I agree I agree I agree with

Kevin I also think that the house near

the river is the best house for Natalie

I agree at MEP advertising Tom Hall

thinks they should move to the country

do James and Julia agree for against

for cheaper rent cheaper houses cleaner

air it's quieter there's not so much

noise and parkings easier do you agree

that these are all good reasons for

moving yes I agree but let's talk about

the things against moving number one a

long way from some clients don't you

mean from all our clients no that's not

right one of our biggest clients is here

in the West and we have another here in

the north

what about communications there's an

airport here and a motorway here and

there are fast trains too everywhere in

Britain from this station so

communications are better than they are

from here I think so what do we do with

our spare time I know we can go for

walks in the country perhaps go horse

riding but we can only do that in summer

what can we do in the winter when it's

cold and wet it's not like London is it

I agree but in this town here 20 minutes

by car there are cinemas theaters good

restaurants and there's a jazz club so I

think ma P advertising should move to

the country do you agree

no I don't agree James I'm not sure I

agree

do you agree no I don't agree Mary and

Michael Bell owned a farm near London

called cherry trees farm it's special

because it's open to visitors

most of these visitors are children from

City Schools we keep cattle which are

called Herefords we keep black pigs we

keep sheep and we keep chickens for

laying eggs and various farm you're

danimals geese ducks goats the majority

of educational visits to cherry trees

farm are from school children aged

between four and ten who are from City

areas

welcome to cherry trees farm now a visit

to church whose farm is not you the

usual visit because we're practical I

asked you to help me after they've had

their lunch they then go to collect eggs

which to many is one of the best things

they do on the farm because a hen often

will be sitting in the box where the egg

is laid and the child must slip its hand

under the hen and actually touch a warm

egg

justperson too hard don't chase them and

then usually after they have collected

eights

they will set off to see all the other

round winner as people want them in the

shop for roast duck then we take them

can you see the one with the ring in his

nose

well when we need to do anything with

him

we can put a hook through through his

nose to control him

part of our philosophy or belief is that

animal welfare is as important as the

methods by which we farm so for us
