The atmosphere looks cheerful and lively as families enjoy their day out. Picture 2: Description: A family is standing near an enclosure at the zoo, observing a giraffe. The giraffe is tall and stands inside a fenced area with hay scattered around. The parents and children appear curious and excited, pointing at the giraffe and admiring its height and features. The setting is bright and sunny, suggesting a pleasant day at the zoo. Picture 3: Description: A man is feeding a monkey in a cage at the zoo. The monkey is perched on a branch inside the cage, eagerly reaching out to take food from the man’s hand. The man seems happy to interact with the animal, while a woman and a child watch the interaction closely. The scene captures a moment of connection between humans and animals. Picture 4: Description: A group of people is watching an elephant perform tricks at the zoo. The elephant is standing on a platform, and a trainer is guiding it. The audience, including adults and children, is gathered around the arena, clapping and cheering. The elephant appears well-trained and calm, performing tasks like balancing or lifting objects with its trunk. Picture 5: Description: A family is crossing a bridge over a river. The bridge has railings on both sides, and the water below flows gently. The family consists of a father, mother, and two children, who are all dressed warmly, suggesting it might be a cool day. In the background, there is a tiger in a cage, indicating that they are likely visiting a zoo or wildlife park. Birds can be seen flying overhead, adding to the scenic view.

Can you now speak about “A Visit to the Zoo” in your own words.Narrate any other such visits you made to different places – Visit to grandmother’s house, visit to a museum, visit to a park, etc.Write a few sentences on ONE of the above topics.

"A Visit to the Zoo." Visiting the zoo is a fun and educational experience. You get to see many animals like lions, tigers, elephants, giraffes, and birds. It's exciting to watch them move, play, and eat. I enjoyed feeding some animals and watching shows where trained animals performed tricks. A visit to the zoo helps us learn about different species and why we should protect them.

Last month, my parents took me to the zoo. We saw many animals and birds. I liked the elephant show the most. The monkeys were playful and made us laugh. I also saw a giraffe for the first time — it was very tall! I enjoyed the visit and would love to go again.
