In summer holiday mum, dad and I went to the zoo by car, in the zoo we saw a lot of animal, tiger, monkey, elephant, I feed the lion a piece of meat, my mum feed too while dad feed a goat. If you fight the goat, it was dangeroused because the goat will bite you. We feed a gorilla bananas. He can peel the banana and eat it quickly. I saw elephant too. They need their nose and help himself have a bath. They look happy. I saw a lot of animals in the zoo, all in all we are happy.
