 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.

Came Late to School

Last Wednesday, I came late to my school because I played playstation until 2.00 am in the night. Because I woke up late.

I woke up about 6.30 am and the class would begin at 7.00 am. I ran to bathroom to take a bath. I usually had breakfast after taking a bath, but on that day I did not do that.

I always went to school by my motorcycle. But on that day, I forgot where I put the key. So, I went to the school by public transportation. It took me a longer time. I arrived at school at 7.15 am, I ran to my class but I saw my teacher had stood in front of the class to teach. I entered my class and of course my teacher was angry at me because I came late.

It was my bad experience and I hoped I would not do that again.

Fell from the Ladder

Last week, the rain was falling so heavily. I found that there were some leaks on the roof. To fix it, I needed a ladder so that I could climb up to the roof. It was Sunday at 2 in the afternoon, I brought the ladder and set it up to the roof. Water from the leaks made the foothold wet. At that time, I was too confident and not careful. I thought I was strong enough to avoid slipping.

When the ladder became wetter, I already felt the slippery surface. However, I did not pay attention and kept climbing. A disaster came when my brother forgot to hold the ladder. As soon as he turned away, I suddenly lost my balance. Only seconds afterward, I slipped from the ladder and fell to the floor. It happened so fast that I needed several minutes to realize what was really going on.

Then, my two elder brothers checked me out and asked if I was okay. After that, they carried me to a more comfortable place. Later on, they gave me first aid. Finally, I was brought to the nearest doctor so that I got proper medical attention. It was my fault that I was not careful with the hazardous situation.
