MAIN READING A VISIT TO A ZOO During the summer holiday, I decided to visit a zoo with some of my school friends. I always wanted to visit the zoo for a long time. Because of my school activities, I was unable to visit it. People have always talked about their zoo experiences. They always said good things about the environment and the different animals in the zoo. Everyone around me said nearly the same things, so I began to wonder about going to a zoo. Then, I made up my mind to visit a zoo in the summer vacation time. We had to travel five kilometers to the place, but I was happy that 4 I was going to visit the zoo in my city. I had always watched the documentaries about animals on television, but I loved to see those animals in real life. We all prepared to visit the zoo. When we arrived at the zoo, we needed to buy a ticket. After buying the ticket, we entered the zoo. There were different types of animals and lots of people. Many people were taking pictures and walking around the zoo. The animals we saw there were lions, tigers, elephants, ostriches, and bears. They were all in their cages. Seeing those animals in real life was a memorable experience for me.
