Animals
I’m a real animal lover. I’m fascinated by the whole animal kingdom. I loved animals
when I was a kid. I used to read every book I could find on animals. I knew all the
different animal species. The most exciting thing for me was going to the zoo. I
would spend hours just watching the animals walk around, sit, or even sleep. When
I was older, I went on a safari to Tanzania. I saw real wild animals in the wild.
Everyone should do this once in their lives. Looking at animals in their natural
habitat is a real honour. Now I’m worried about the future of many animals. Some
of my favourite animals are in danger of dying out. We really need to change our
lifestyle so our children can have the chance of seeing animals in the wild.
