A Trip to the Zoo

Yesterday me and my family went to the zoo to see the elephant and other animal.

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 lunch we went for a ride on the elephant. It was a thrill to ride it. Dad

nearly fell off when he let go of the rope.

During lunch we fed some birds in the park. In the afternoon we saw the animals

being fed.

When we returned home we were tired but happy because we had so much fun.

Perjalanan ke Kebun Binatang

Kemarin aku dan 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.

 International Day at My Beloved School

Yesterday, at my school we had International Day. We had

performances, food stalls, riffle ticket draw, and some of us were dressed in

costumes.

We started our day off with performances but the one liked best was the

one from our grade. It was about games. The performance I was in was called ‘La

Bamba’. Straight after performance we had lunch. There were food stalls. They

came from Australia, Asia, Arab and Greece. Everyone had a job. I did my job

after I had lunch. My job was to sell International Day books. We had displays in

he halls. The displays were good but I didn’t get to see them. The displays came

from a lot of countries.

There were also a Trash & Treasure stall where they sell toys. The school got

them by asking children to bring them in. After lunch we had a raffle ticket draw.

I didn’t win anything but a lot people did.

Although I didn’t win anything, International Day was still fun.
