Mr Hill was a chicken farmer. He had hundreds of chickens, and sold the eggs and the meat and got quite a lot of money from them, but he lived in a very hot part of the country, and he found that his hens laid hardly any eggs in the summer. So he decided to put air conditioning into his chicken house so that his hens would lay well all through the year and he could get more eggs and in that way earn more money. The owner of the company which sold the air conditioning came to see him, and when he saw Mr Hill’s house, he thought that he might be able to persuade him to buy some air conditioning for it too. “Your wife would be much happier and more comfortable then,” he said to Mr Hill. But Mr Hill was not interested. “My wife doesn’t lay eggs,” he said.

One possible version:
Xinhua Stamp Printing Works is in the west of the city. It’s just 15 miles away from the center of the city. It’s 2.3 square miles in area.
When you enter the Stamp Printing Works, you may see two beautiful gardens on both your sides and an office building in front of you. Behind it, there lies a meeting hall between the garage in the north and the two shower rooms for men and women workers in the south. Then there stands a big and wide playground. Across it, you can see four workshops, behind which there are four dorms for the workers.
