All the cities are quite the same．Living in a modern Australian city is not very different from living in an American city．But there are some differences on farms．
In many parts of the world, farmers and their families live in villages or towns．In the United States, each farm family lives in its own fields．Usually their neighbors live far away．It’s hard for them to see each other on weekdays．Their children take school buses to the nearest schools．These schools are only for the farm families in this area(地区)．In some areas, there are small schools for a few farm families, and the children walk to schools．
Life keeps changing for everyone．So do farmers．Today there are cars, good roads, radios, television sets and there are modern machines for farming．All of these are changing farm life．

Most American children eat potatoes．But many children don't know what of the potato is the best for food．Take a knife and cut from the middle of the potato a piece as thin as paper．Hold the piece between your eyes and light．You will see that the potato has skin(皮)，an outside rim(边缘) and an inside part．The outside rim which is right under the skin of the potato，is the most valuable part of all．But this is often thrown away with the skin．Even the skin itself is better for food than the inside．When eating a cooked potato，if you choose the inside and leave the outside，you are throwing the best part of it．If you can't eat the whole potato，eating the outside rim and leaving the inside will do．
