10. Read the passage and answer the multiple-choice questions.
The first step in finding your place in the country is knowing what you want. How many acres do you need? Will you be wanting just a flock of chickens and a small garden, or are you leaning more towards a few cows and a horse? Decide what kind of livestock you want to raise and have a good idea of how much property you’ll need. Will you be wanting a place that already has a bam, shop, chicken shed and a house? If your budget allows, it would be nice to get a place that already has these. You can upgrade and renovate to your liking as money and time allows. If you can only afford the land, you still have placed one foot forward towards where you want to go.
Many people have purchased only land, then decided to live in an older mobile home while they are planning and preparing the development of their place in the country. This is a relatively low-cost way to start. If you have the money to buy a place in the country that is already established and has everything you need, then that is great too. The point is – whether you start in a big way or get started in a small way – you’ve made a big step and welcome to country living!
Bottom line: know what you want before you start looking. Start with a dream and develop it with budget requirements and a realistic outlook.
a) What is the first step in íinding a place in the country?
A. To decide what kind of animals you want to raise.
B. To set up a small garden.
C. To decide what kind of place to buy.
D. To ask for help from farmers.
b) The word “livestock” means
| A) farm animals | B) chicken |
| C) cows | D) shops |
c) What does “bottom line” mean?
A. A big step to country living
B. The dream to start with
C. A place in the country
D. The conclusion to be made
d) People should not look for a place in the country if they can only afford the land.
| A. True | B. False | C. Not mentioned |

A. to raise a flock of chicken and have a small garden
