Last year, we had to sell dozens of carabaos and cows for my parents to

financially support me with my studies. [6] (As a result/Accordingly), (a)   my family

recorded and generated small return of investment for that year.

[7] (Instead/

Although) (a)   we suffered a great loss, we still managed to survive with the help of

my uncle.

Uncle Romeo has lent us his resources. [8] (On the other hand/Together

with) (a)   this, he looked for possible investors who would finance our small farm

business.

[9] (Consequently/Meanwhile) (a)   , a known dairy company, invested large amount of money to our small-scale farm.

We accepted its offer. [10] (In

liters of milk per day

believe in your capacity, it is your duty to trust yourself and the process. With

cows, our small farm will soon be one of the famous haciendas in town

producing and delivering quality products and goods.
