Food groups (review)

Primary sector

In the primary sector, workers obtain raw materials from natural resources, for example, products from plants, animals and the soil. The primary sector includes jobs in crop farming, animal farming and fishing.

Crop farming is the activity of growing plants to obtain different products. These products are called crops. Most crops are grown for food, for example, cereals, fruit and vegetables. Others are grown for clothing, such as hemp and cotton.

Farm animals are called livestock. Farmers breed animals for their meat, milk, eggs or skins.

There are two types of animal farming:

• Extensive farming. Animals live in the open and eat grass from the fields, or grain.
• Intensive farming. Animals live fenced in on farms or in barns. Farmers give them hay or dry feed to eat.

Fishermen catch fish and shellfish in rivers and seas. There are two types of sea fishing:

• Coastal fishing. Fishermen fish near the coast. They go out to sea in small fishing boats and use nets.
• Deep-sea fishing. Fishermen fish a long way from the coast. They go out to sea in big boats with modern machines. Deep-sea fishing boats have refrigerators that keep the fish fresh.

Fish farms are places where farmers breed fish and shellfish. Fish farms are built near rivers or on the coast. There are some fish farms in our city.

Your body grows and changes throughout your life.
There are different stages: childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age.

CHILDHOOD

First stage of life. Since you ar born until about 12 years old. Many changes take place. Babies do not have teeth, they do not know how to walk or talk. At this stage the milk teeth appear, which become definitive when they are 6 years old.

They learn many things about the world around them.

ADOLESCENCE

Between 12 and 16 years old. Your body and your mind change and prepare for adulthood. Boys and girls have different changes. In boys, their facial hair grows and their voice get deeper. The girls develop the breast and its shape changes.

Adolescents are becoming more independent and making their own decisions.

ADULTHOOD

When you are an adult your body is fully developed. Adults stop growing and their changes are slower. In this stage people are ready to take responsibility. They work, take care of children and are an active part of society.

OLD AGE

It is the last stage. Our body is weaker. Our skin has wrinkles and our hair is gray. People have more knowledge, experience and memory. We can learn a lot from people at this stage.
