A Trip to the Zoo

Yesterday my family and I went to the zoo to see the elephant. When we got to the zoo, we went to the
shop to buy some food to give to the animals.

After getting the food, we went to the nocturnal house where we saw birds and reptiles which only
come out at night.

Before having lunch, we went for a ride on the elephant. It was a thrill to ride it. Dad fell off when he let
go off the rope, but he was ok.

During the lunch we fed some birds in the park. In the afternoon we saw the animals being fed. When
we returned home we were very tired but happy. It was because we had so much fun activities at many

Last holiday my students and I went to Jogjakarta. We stayed at Morison Hotel which is not a long way
from Malioboro. On Friday, we went to the sanctuaries in Prambanan. There are three major
sanctuaries, the Brahmana, Syiwa and Wisnu sanctuaries. They are truly stunning. We went by just
Brahmana and Syiwa sanctuaries, on the grounds that Wisnu sanctuary is being remodeled. On Saturday
morning we went to Yogya Kraton. We spent around two hours there. We were fortunate on the
grounds that we were driven by a brilliant and amicable aide. At that point we proceeded with our
adventure to Borobudur. We touched base there at four p.m. At 6 p.m. we heard the declaration that
Borobudur entryway would be closed. In the evening we left Jogjakarta by bus.

The content above basically talks about ……..

a)
