Dear all,
 
Do the following phrases make sense? 
 
Make a livelihood by farming
Treat farming as my livelihood
Take farming as his livelihood
Farming is his livelihood
 
Thanks.

The second is possible, depending on the context and the last is correct. The first should be "make a living (by) farming" The 3rd isn �t correct.
 
I don �t recognise your country �s flag. Could you tell me what it is?

Spinney, you don �t recognize the flag of the UK �s former protectorate, Hong Kong?

I agree with Spinney �s answers.

# Spinney: you can always right click on the flag and next click on properties to find out which country the flag belongs to.

Cheers, Peter

Hi everybody ,How are you all ? As far as I know ,I think all the sentences make sense depending on the context. They may also have the same meaning: taking farming as his livelehood, what do you think???

 Hi !I think this stanza says farming is very important  �f people work with farming they produce and make their own living .For example  Turkey used to be  a large agriculture country but our people dont plant veggies and fruits and they have no jobs anymore .Hope it is true .
