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 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.
Why did the writer and his family feel very tired after having a trip to the zoo?

• 
  They had no time to take a rest in the zoo

• They had to feed a lot of animals in the zoo

• They had to visit many places in the zoo

STRUCTURE

​My school conducts sports day every year. It takes place in the month of November every year. Each year, all the classes present different acts to the audience. As per the class, the acts are chosen.

For instance, the junior classes perform simple acts like aerobics while the senior classes perform difficult acts like forming pyramids, long jump, and more. The sports day at my school takes place with full preparation.

​ORIENTATION

​​Sports Day at My School

​The preparations begin two months earlier so that students can perfect their act. We get extra time to practice for the sports day.

It also helps to cut down on some academic studying which everyone enjoys.

All of us practice in the sun and try to perfect our moves. On the final day, we all invite our parents to watch us perform our act.
