 1. A Trip to the National Zoo and Aquarium

Yesterday, my family and I went to the National Zoo and Aquarium to visit the new Snow Cubs and the other animals.

In the morning, when we got to the Zoo and Aquarium there was a great big line, so we had to wait awhile to get in.

After we entered the zoo, we went straight to the enclosure for the Snow Cubs. My brother and I were so excited to see them. They were so cute and playful.

At lunchtime Dad decided to cook a bbq. He cooked sausages so we could have sausage sandwiches. Mum forgot the tomato sauce so we had to eat them plain.

In the afternoon, we visited the aquarium. My brother was excited to see the sharks and the tropical fish.

At the end of the day when we left we were going to go and get ice cream but we decided we were too tired so we drove straight home.

3. Chaotic Situation in The Market

Last month, I went to a traditional market to buy some daily needs. As usual, I go there alone and bring a shopping list.

After arriving at the market, I started searching for the things I needed one by one. While I was bargaining the price of some fruits, I saw a crowded situation where there was a thief beaten by a lot of people. It was so terrible. I didn't want to see the condition get worse so I called the police. A few minutes later, police came and calmed down the situation. Asking the fruit seller, I knew that the thief tried to steal someone's wallet but someone saw him and shouted loudly. After that, suddenly many people roughed him up.

It was a scary moment I experienced last week and I hoped that it would never happen again in the future.
