Every year, our school takes us on two picnics. The first one is called a “study trip.” Last week, our class went on a study trip to the zoo. We went by bus.

We entered the zoo and went past the various cages. We saw lions and tigers and cheetahs and bears. We saw birds of various colours and sizes. The huge cobras terrified us. The monkeys and their tricks made us laugh. Animals such as the crocodile and the hippopotamus lie in a pond. The rhinoceroses were quite ugly. We saw cats of various sizes and colours. None of us had seen such cats before.

We spent the entire day in the zoo. We had our lunch in the canteen inside. At 5 p.m., we left and got into the bus. We returned home tired, but happy.
