Dear
Suryono,
Thank you for your
second letter. It is interesting to read the farming tools used by the formers
in your village. Unlike the farmers in you village, most the farmers in my
country use machines to help them work. The machines are very useful since most
farms are very big. They use tractor to plough the land. Another machine is a
seed drill, it makes holes in the ground then it drops seeds into them. It may
even drop a small amount of fertilizer which each seed. Farmers with very large
farms sometimes use planes to plant seed. They also use planes to spray
chemical on to the rice fields. When harvest time comes they also use machine
called “a combine” to cut the rice. It also seperates the rice kernels from the
stalks. You know that “a combine” can harvest more grain than 200 people
working by hand.
Well,
that’s all for this time. I am looking forward to receiving another letter from
you.
Sincerely
yours,
John Togolina
