Band 7 Answer

I want to talk about the zoo near my city. I went there last year with my family and saw many animals like lions, elephants, and monkeys. The zoo was very clean and organized, and the animals had spacious cages and natural-looking habitats. I enjoyed watching the animals because it was both fun and educational. I also learned a lot about different species and their habits. Visiting the zoo made me feel more connected to nature and appreciate the importance of protecting animals.
