Culture … A Day out at the Summer Show

England

Population: 50.7 million

Capital: London

A Every year there are summer shows in thousands of villages around England. There are lots of things to do at the shows! There are competitions for all kinds of animals, with trophies for the winning horses, cows and sheep. There are also competitions called ‘sheepdog trials’. The dogs move the sheep from the field into an enclosure. They’re very fast – they’ve only got nine minutes to do it.

B At the summer shows there are also competitions for flowers, vegetables and other food. There are some amazing vegetables – look at the enormous beans in the picture! There are prizes for cakes, bread, jam and marmalade, and for eggs and honey from the farm. But don’t forget – the prizes are only for home-made things. You can’t win if you buy them in a shop!

C There are also rallies of classic cars and motorbikes and competitions for vintage tractors. And there are big markets with lots of stalls, where you can buy delicious food and local crafts. Every year about 8000 people visit the shows – it’s a great day out for all the family!
