Perjalanan ke Kebun Binatang
Kemarin keluargaku pergi ke kebun binatang untuk melihat gajah dan
hewan lainnya.
Ketika sampai di kebun binatang, kami pergi ke toko untuk membeli makanan yang akan aku berikan langsung kepada hewan.
Setelah mendapatkan makanannya, kami pergi ke rumah nokturnal dimana kami dapat melihat burung dan reptil yang hanya keluar pada malam hari.
Sebelum makan siang, kami pergi untuk mengendarai gajah. Sungguh mengasyikkan dapat mengendarainya. Ayah hampir terjatuh saat melepaskan tali pegangan yang diberikan.
Saat makan siang, kami memberi makan beberapa burung di taman. Sore harinya, kami melihat hewan-hewan itu diberi makan oleh petugas.
Ketika kami kembali ke rumah, kami lelah tapi bahagia karena kami bersenang-senang.
