The zoo

I hung out with my friend June yesterday. At first we'd like we wanted to go shopping but June said that the zoo had some new animals and flowers. I hadn't been there for in ages and was really curious about what kind of animals they have had. So we went to the zoo.

I remember the first time I came went to this zoo. I was 6 or 7. I was very young at that time, and quite excited about visiting the zoo. In my memories, the zoo was extremely large. I almost couldn't reach the end. But things have changed since I grew up; this time I felt it's not a big zoo at all. I even wondering wondered if this zoo was the same one I had visited before.

The zoo has many kinds of animals, some rare ones like alpacas, lesser pandas, seals, giraffes, raccoons, and llamas, and some more common animals like tigers, lions, wolves, monkeys and cranes.

I liked the llamas most. They were just so adorable! There were only two there, and I guess one was a boy and another was a girl. They were not like other animals, stand who stood far away from people, but walked close and looked at me. Very gentle eyes, just like water waving when they were blinked. They moved close, and would like wanted to eat everything! June's umbrella almost became their food.

And the giraffe. The tongue of it His tongue was soft, strong and flexible. It looked like eating when they were he was drinking. I really had no idea why they he needed to be that strenuous to drink drink that strenuously. After they drinked he drank, some water leaked from his mouth.

The poorest saddest animals was were the wolf wolves. They'd like wanted to drink but the basin was empty. They can could do nothing but to walk around the cage again and again. Juned said to me, "won't they felt feel even thirstier then than before? Walking will cost use up [or deplete] their energy and water too make them dehydrated." Maybe the wolf wolves didn't like humans, they couldn't speak, couldn't make people understand them. So they have too had to walk around to make people notice them. But it had was no use, no zoo keepers came.

I started to feel sorry about for the animals. If they were living in their hometown the wild, at least they could drink and walk and jump and go wherever they'd like to be. But now, they were in the a cage. No freedom, even not not even enough water. On the other hand, if there were is no zoos in the world, we couldn't wouldn't have a chance to stand so close to the rare animals. We will would have no chance to observe them. It's really a very complex thing issue and hard to tell whether have zoos are right or wrong.

I doubt you don't like it!

If there’s something we all have in common with each other it is the appreciation of music. Well, I’ve never met or heard about someone who doesn’t like music at all. We certainly have our own preferences about types, but I definitely can’t believe someone on this earth isn’t into it.
I’m the kind of person who listens to music everyday, and I admit: I can’t live without it.
Fun fact about myself: every time I have to clean up things and do all that housework we need to do frequently I NEED TO be listening to some music. If I don’t, then everything seems like hard and boring. It's incredible how I rapidly get enthusiastic and more productive while listening to music. A little weird, huh?!
I’m Christian so I love Christian songs. I’m always listening to my favorite Christian singers, and when I “find out” [we would more likely say "discover" a new singer] about a new singer or band whom I enjoy it’s really cool because I keep listening to the tracks until I learn the lyrics by heart. Actually, it was one of the first and main resources I picked up to get used to the English. And as everybody knows… It helps a lot!
Just putting our headphones then we are allowed on allows us to tune out the world with music or even go far way from where we are without moving. I bet you are a big fan of it, aren’t you? :)

Making Friends

I am Besty (do you mean Betsy?). I come from China. I am a student. I am in high school. In fact, English is an important language. More and more people speak English. But I cannot speak English well, and I always speak "Chinese English". This summer, I want to improve my English level. I want to make friends who can help me with English. And I can help you with Chinese. We can talk about everything and share happiness. Nice to meet you, my friends.
