英語ストーリー

Last week, our class went on a school trip to the city zoo. I was so excited! We took a bus, singing songs and laughing all the way. The zoo was huge, with so many different animals to see. I especially loved the playful monkeys swinging from tree to tree. First, we visited the lion enclosure. The lions were majestic, lounging lazily in the sun. Then, we saw the polar bears swimming in their massive pool, their thick fur glistening. After that, we had a picnic lunch under a shady tree, enjoying sandwiches and juice boxes with our friends. In the afternoon, we went to the reptile house, where we saw snakes, turtles, and lizards. Some of them were a little scary, but most were fascinating. The highlight of the day was definitely the elephant show. The elephants were incredibly intelligent and performed amazing tricks. We all clapped and cheered with delight. It was a truly memorable experience, filled with laughter and wonder. Finally, tired but happy, we boarded the bus and headed back to school. I couldn't stop talking about all the amazing animals I had seen. It was the best school trip ever!
