Dear Mary,
I want to tell you about my uncle’s yard. It has a lot of fun! In the yard, there are many interesting things to see and do.
First, there is a big circle of grass. I often play on it with my cousins. My uncle grows carrots next to the grass, and they are very delicious. My uncle also grows grapes. We can pick grapes when they are ripe(熟的).
My uncle has many animals in his yard. I don’t know the number of them because I can’t count them. They run here and there. There are pigs, sheep, and even a few chickens. He also has a few geese. They are very funny to watch.
I hope you can visit my uncle’s yard someday. It’s a lot of fun!
Best wishes!
Tony

12. 根据信中内容“First, there is a big circle of grass. I often play on it with my cousins.”可知，Tony经常和表亲在草地上玩。
13. 信中提到“My uncle grows carrots next to the grass”，说明Tony的叔叔种了胡萝卜；还提到“My uncle also grows grapes”，但葡萄是水果，题目问的是蔬菜，所以只有胡萝卜符合。
14. 信中明确提到“There are pigs, sheep, and even a few chickens.”，所以答案是包含猪、羊和鸡的选项。
15. 信中提到“I don’t know the number of them because I can’t count them. They run here and there.”，说明因为动物们到处跑所以数不清。
