Recount Text: A Trip to the Zoo

A Trip to the Zoo

Yesterday my family and I went to the zoo to see the elephant. When we got to the zoo, we went to the shop to buy some food to give to the animals.

After getting the food, we went to the nocturnal house where we saw birds and reptiles which only come out at night. Before having lunch, we went for a ride on the elephant. It was a thrill to ride it. Dad fell off when he let go off the rope, but he was ok. During the lunch we fed some birds with nuts in the park. In the afternoon we saw the animals being fed.

When we returned home, we were very tired but happy. It was because we had so much fun activities at many places at the zoo.
