My name is Giang. Yesterday, I went to the zoo with my family. First, we saw elephants. Some walked slowly and some ate their food slowly. I liked them because they could spray water with their trunks. Then, we went to see gorillas. My little brother liked them because they were very intelligent and funny. Next, we saw some lions. They roared loudly when we were there. In the end, we saw some peacocks. They were very beautiful. We took a lot of photos at the zoo. After spending two hours visiting the zoo, we went to a big restaurant near the zoo. We had seafood for lunch. We had a really wonderful time together.
Where did Giang go yesterday?
She hasn't written to me for years.
