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 2nd 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.

A TRIP TO PINGSI
Yesterday, I went to Pingsi at 9:30. We went to the coal museum and watched TV. Then we drove in the van to Jingtong Old Street. Some people bought drinks because they had no water. We ate lunch at Jingtong Old Street. Then we walked over the train track and some people blew bubbles. We saw a rest area and a waving bear. The bear’s paw was moving. We walked to the top and saw grasshoppers and fire ants and then went back. We saw a wild dog in the playground. Some people fed him train to Pingsi Old Street. We saw a lantern fall into the water. One grandma was very kind, she gave us some water, and two people bought a BB gun. I bought a fan and some people bought bubbles and drinks. Uncle bought some people sausages.

Archie's Trip To Ilan

A TRIP TO ILAN
Hi! My name is Archie. I am in the New Green Team of Chuck’s Summer Blog Camp. On Monday, I went to Ilan. We left Neihu at 9:30. On the bus, everyone was very hot and very excited, because the weather was sunny. We arrived at the Baimi Community at 10:45. They use chisels and hammers to make clogs. They paint the wooden shoes and put leather on the shoes. Craftsmen make patterns, too. We played with bubbles and bought toys in the toy shop. It was still hot on the bus. Some people ate ice cream, and ham and cheese sandwiches, too. Our team went to watch the dance show for a little bit, then we went to feed the fish. Everyone had fun. At 3:00 we came back to Chuck. I really enjoyed the camp and I had a great day.

Arthur Went To Ilan


The Trip to Ilan
Hi! My name is Arthur. I am in the New Green Team of Chuck’s Summer Blog Camp. On Monday, I went to Ilan. We left Neihu at 9:30. We took a bus to Ilan. On the bus, everyone was very excited. We told funny stories, took pictures of Ilan, and talked about the hot sunny day.
When we get off the bus, we saw a place called “Baimi Community”. It made everyone very surprised. Inside, we saw craftsmen and women making clogs. 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. The ice cream flavors were pineapple, mango, peanut, and yam. There were also has ham and cheese sandwiches, broccoli, and apple, too!
After lunch, my teammates and I went to see the puppet shop, where we saw many puppets. We fed some fish, too! Also, we watched the dance show.
Finally, it was time to leave. We said goodbye to Ilan. I hope we can go there again.
