Read the following passage about a trip to the zoo:
Yesterday, my family and I visited the city zoo. It was a beautiful sunny day. We arrived early and saw many animals. First, we watched the monkeys play. They swung from tree to tree and chattered loudly. Next, we walked to the lion enclosure. A huge male lion roared, and it made us jump! Then, we ate lunch near the penguin exhibit. The penguins swam gracefully in the water. After lunch, we bought souvenirs from the gift shop. I chose a small toy elephant. We left the zoo feeling happy and tired.
