Today, I went to visit a zoo I had never been to. It was the most fantastic thing I have ever done. It is so different from my habitat that it seems like a place of pure magic. Seeing such extrordinary beauty, I think every cell in my body woke up. It was like discovering a new dimension of life.
I enjoyed myself very much in the zoo. The first thing I became aware of was all the lovely birds and animals, such as the eagle, the elephant and the monkey. Besides, I watched a horror film named Jurassic. Park. My heart beat wildly when seeing the dinosaurs attacking people who wanted to steal them.
What a wonderful ,limitless world it was!
