MODEL ANSWER:
I would like to talk about a time when my friends and I went to a safari park located on the outskirts of my friend’s hometown, Ben Tre. It’s called the National Safari Park, covering an area of over 2000 acres. We got there early in the morning and spent a whole day inside the park observing a variety of wild animals, like zebras, giraffes, lions, alpacas, leopards, dolphins and penguins. It was an eye-opening experience. There I saw numerous breeds of animals which I had never seen before. I felt as if I became an amateur zoologist after watching and learning about all the wildlife in this park.
It was a pretty hot summer’s day when we saw those living creatures, and many of them were simply lying down, taking a nap, idling away the hours. For example, on the bus to the zone of animals native to South America, I spotted a huge white elephant with orange and black stripes on the back of its big ears. It moved back and forth purposelessly. I was astonished by this rare-looking elephant. Its pure white color was amazing. I was totally blown away by this gorgeous creature.
What also impressed me was a special breed of monkey, which was called the Grivet monkey. They moved with great agility through a mini jungle inside the park, and maintained perfect balance with its extremely long tail. In a nutshell, the trip to the safari zoo was a real eye-opener, allowing me to familiarize myself with a host of gorgeous and rare animals.
