Working the Land
Enjoy a Poem
Farmers weeding at noon,
Sweat down the field soon.
Who knows food on a tray,
Due to their toiling day.
Rice plays an important role in our daily life, because it can provide us with energy.
And the Chinese people are so good at cooking that it can be cooked in various ways….
