RECOUNT TEXT

A Fun Trip to Zoo

Yesterday, my family went to the zoo. When we got to the zoo, we went to the shop to buy some food to give to the animals. After getting that, we went to the nocturnal house where we saw birds and reptiles which only come out at night.

Before lunch, we went for a ride on the elephant. It was a thrill to ride it. My Dad nearly fell off when he let go of the rope. During lunch we fed some birds in the park. After that, we returned home. We were tired but happy because we had so much fun.
