我的假期去了动物园英语作文,一句话

My Amazing Vacation at the Zoo!

Hooray, school was finally out for summer vacation! I was so excited because my parents promised to take me to the amazing zoo in our city. I had been looking forward to this trip for weeks and weeks. The night before we went, I could hardly sleep thinking about all the incredible animals I would get to see. First thing the next morning, I wolfed down my breakfast of pancakes and raced to get dressed. \"Hurry up mom and dad, we don't want to be late!\" I shouted as they got ready more slowly than me. Finally we were out the door and headed to the zoo. My heart was pounding with anticipation as we got closer. When we arrived, the first thing I saw were the massive elephant statues guarding the entrance. They looked so lifelike, with their long trunks and big floppy ears. I couldn't wait to see the real elephants! We got our tickets and I pulled my parents through the front gates, gulping down the sights and smells of the amazing zoo.

The first animals we saw were the monkeys, swinging from branches and chasing each other. They looked so funny and mischievous as they played together. One even bared his teeth

and started making rude noises at me when I got too close! My dad laughed and said \"I guess he doesn't like to be disturbed.\" Next we wandered over to the big cat area to see the lions, tigers, and other wild felines. The lions were all napping lazily under the hot sun when we approached. Suddenly, one started to yawn and unleashed a mighty roar that shook my entire body! The tiger was coolly stalking around its enclosure, eyeing the crowd like we might be its next meal. I was a little scared of them, but they were beautiful and powerful animals.

After the big cats, we ventured into the ape house where the gorillas and orangutans lived. Their enclosures were like a rainforest inside, complete with tall trees, vines, and even a waterfall! The gorillas were beating their chests and gnashing their teeth at each other. They looked so strong and intense. The orangutans were more relaxed, snacking on leaves and dangling nonchalantly from the branches. I thought they looked a bit like funny, hairy humans.

Around lunchtime, we stopped to eat at the zoo's cafeteria. I had a yummy cheeseburger while watching the seals and sea lions playing in their giant pool area. They were so slick as they zipped around underwater, then popped up to bask on the rocks. One even did a twirl in the air and made us all cheer!

With renewed energy from our good meal, we waddled over to the bird aviary next. As soon as we stepped inside, we were surrounded by a riot of bright colors and deafening squawks. Birds of every shape, size and color imaginable were all around us in the huge netted habitat. I felt like I was in a tropical rainforest! My favorite was the tiny, iridescent hummingbirds zipping around.

After the aviary, it was on to the reptile house, which gave me an eerie, primordial feeling. The snakes were lazily slithering around their warm terrariums, flicking their tongues out to smell the air. I shuddered a bit looking at the huge pythons and anacondas - they could easily swallow me whole! The lizards and geckos were fascinating too, clinging to the glass and branches. My dad tried to catch my attention to see the deadly cobras and vipers behind reinforced glass, but I didn't want to get too close to those!

Next up were the polar bears, swimming and playing in their gigantic pool of water. It was amazing to watch how graceful and powerful they were, even though they looked husky and sluggish on land. An zookeeper explained that their hollow fur helps them float in the icy Arctic waters. I was very impressed!

As we headed towards the exit, we stopped at the petting zoo area where kids could gently interact with some tame animals. I got to feed lettuce leaves to the floppy-eared bunnies and even pet a soft little lamb! My dad lost a tug-of-war game against a feisty goat who kept trying to eat his shirt. It was such a fun way to end an incredible day.

On the ride home I was so tired that I could barely keep my eyes open. Visiting the zoo had been every bit as amazing and wonderful as I dreamed! We saw so many fascinating creatures that day, and I learned so much about them too. From the tiny hummingbirds to the massive gorillas, it made me appreciate the incredible diversity of life on our planet. I made a wish before falling asleep that night - that someday I could work at the amazing zoo when I grew up. What job could be better than being around awesome animals every day? I couldn't wait to go back again!
