Henry at the Zoo

Today we went to Taipei zoo. It cost us NT$30 to get in. I will tell you what I saw in the zoo. First, I saw the flamingoes which were sleeping. Only two were not sleeping, but they were drinking water. When they sleep they stand on one foot, so I think their balancing is great. And we went to see the monkeys. I saw a baby monkey. The monkeys were playing in the water, but I wanted a monkey to jump in the water.

Harry on the MRT

Today we went to Taipei City Zoo. First, we went to see the flamingoes. The flamingoes are so strong they can balancing on one leg. Next, we went to see the male deer, which had a disgusting smell. Then we went to see the otters which were so cute. After that, we went to the insectarium which had lots of butterflies and beetles. Then we came home on the MRT. On the MRT there was an old lady who told us we were too loud, but Teacher Andrew said we were not so loud, so the mad old lady went back to her seat.

Joshua’s Day at the Zoo

Today we went to the Taipei zoo. Outside the zoo there were a lot of people selling umbrellas, toys and fans. There were flamingoes which were so strong they can use just one leg to stand on a rock. Then we went into a tunnel showing the animals that were in danger of extinction. When we finished in there, we saw a sign about insects, so we went inside the insectarium, where there was a giant beetle. When we were done, we went to the MRT. There was an old grandma that said, “Teacher!”. Today was a really fun day.

Harry in Ilan

Hi! My name is Harry. I am in the New Yellow Team of Chuck’s Summer Blog Camp. On Monday I went to The Center for Traditional Arts in Ilan. I really enjoyed The Top Shop. Inside, the shop had a DIY section to paint the tops, which cost NT$100. I thought to paint the tops was too expensive, so we went out. Outside the top shop, you could try to spin the tops. So Teacher Andrew tried the top and it worked. At the same time, a reporter walked by and he saw Teacher Andrew and interviewed him with a video camera. Then we went back to Chuck.
