Andrew Went To Mucha Zoo

Today we took the MRT to the Mucha zoo. We saw flamingoes. They can sleep on one leg. Then we saw Miramar deer. I think the Miramar deer were so shy. And we saw monkeys. The monkeys were so strong, because they can jump between trees. We saw a bear, too. I think the bear was so lucky because in his home he has so many things, like a punch bag and a swimming pool.

We went to the insect museum. Inside, there were a lot of butterflies flying around. The butterflies were so pretty. They were yellow, blue and orange.

Finally, we went to the MRT and came home.

Archie's Trip To The Zoo

Today I went to the zoo. We went to the zoo by MRT. We saw flamingos, deer, goats, Taiwan monkeys, Taiwan black bears and all kinds of insects. We looked at Taiwan butterflies and we saw a butterfly with a broken wing. We saw Taiwan monkeys playing games, deers eating, and Taiwan black bears playing. When we were coming back to Chuck on the MRT, an old grandma said we were too loud. I had a great day.

Arthur's Own "ZOO DAY"

Today we went to the zoo by MRT. Everyone felt excited to see pandas.

After we left the MRT, we went to see the flamingos. The flamingos looked like dancers on the stage.They made me feel very cool.

Next, we went to see the deer. They were male. In the old days, they were everywhere in Taiwan. Then I saw the otters. But they were sleeping, which made me feel very sad.

Last, we went to see the insects. The butterflies looked very cute. There are 400 types of butterfly living inside! That made me feel cool and happy.

It was time to go. I said goodbye and hope I can go back to the zoo to see the pandas.

P.S.

I'm sorry I didn't write more.

ANDREW WENT TO PINGSI

We took a bus to Pingsi. When we got to Pingsi, we went to the Coal Museum. There were a lot of miner’s tools, like helmets, flashlights and water bottles. On the 2^nd floor, we saw a lot of bird photos. One photo was very funny, so I took a photo with my friend. Then we went to see a model of a mine. Teacher Andrew said that being a miner was not healthy, because they were under the ground. And this work was not safe. So they took a bird called a canary with them. If the canary sang, they were safe, but if the canary died they were not safe and had to run out of the mine in 5 minutes.

While we were waiting for the train, we took a walk on a mountain. When we were walking, we saw a dog. We played with the dog. And we also saw a floating lantern in the sky. The train came, so we got on and went to Pinsi Old Street. I bought a BB gun. Then we went to the bus and went home.

Arthur went to Pingsi and Jingtong

Pingsi,Jingtong Fun
We took bus to Pingsi and Jingtong.But the driver didn’t know where it was,and that made me feel very hopeless.
At last,we got to Jingtong.I saw many dates on the ground.So I read them“1972,1978……2002.”We found“Jingtong Life Museum.”It was free,so we didn’t need to pay any money.Teacher told us the workers underground were looking for coal.They spent their whole life doing this job.Sometimes,the people down the coal mine died because of no water,or the coal mine collapsed,or no oxygen.It made me feel very sad.
After we left,teacher let us eat lunch.The lunch was still fan-twan,but we also had apple juice to drink.
When we had finished our lunch,teacher took us up the mountain.When we were on the mountain top,we saw a room which had a stage,so we took a picture of it.
Soon,we were ready to take the train from Jingtong to Pingsi.We were excited about it.“Boo Boo!”The train stoped.
We went to Pingsi Old Street.I bought a bottle of water for NT$15.
It was time to go home,so we said goodbye.I hope I can go back.

The only thing that I really liked was the very big clogs. The big clogs were very big and heavier than I thought. When we left the Baimi Community, we saw somebody playing with big bubbles, so we played that, too!
After we left, we went to “The Center for Traditional Arts”. But we were very hungry, so teacher let us eat lunch. Our lunch was fan-twan. But some people bought ice cream.
