I don’t like animals very much because I scared of them but my father take care of chickens every day he feeds them and give them water when they are thirsty. I have seen all of them except big,eating pork in our country is forbidden.

Very funny! I named my dog Patience and I leave Burkina Faso when he was still a baby dog. But when I went back from Algeria in 2017, he totally forgot me and was in the point to attack me, fortunately my mom was here. During my holidays I tried my best to get his heart but I failed, whatever I still love him because he is too cute and my best keeper. Best friend forever Patience!!!!!!!!!!!

Humans eat them, except mice(?), somewhere around the world.
Hello Fatony, I'm afraid we don't check our users' posts for errors. We get a lot of requests like this and it's just not possible for us to do it for everyone. We would end up doing our users' homework for them, I expect! Peter The LearnEnglish Team

I live on a farm but I've been living on campus next to the farm since last year. I enjoy my time at university. In the future, I will be working in a firm. I still have a struggle with prepositions such as 'on' 'at' 'in'. Why do people say 'live on a far' instead of 'in a farm' or 'in campus'? Is it because it's difficult to know the precise area?? Can anybody help me?

Hello Smiley1

In general, 'in' is often used with places that have a clear boundary (e.g. a city or country), 'on' is used for surfaces (including streets) and some kinds of transport, and 'at' for more specific locations or when we are thinking more about the activity we carry out in a place more than the physical place itself (e.g. 'at the chemist's'). There's a more detailed explanation on this Cambridge Dictionary page that I would recommend taking a look at.

As for, 'on campus' and 'on a farm', you could think of these as surfaces, though of course you could also think of them as places with boundaries. Often, I'm afraid, you just have to learn which prepositions are used with specific words -- and that is the case with these words.

All the best
