Last week my father Mr. Rudy had a traffic accident on the way to his office. His motorcycle was damaged. Yesterday, I went to the garage to fix mymotorcycle. I was surprised to find that the garage mechanic was a woman. Firstly, I doubted her skill. But, she looked professional. She lifted the engine out of the motorcycle and checked it. Then, she repaired the broken metal parts by welding them together with a blow torch. Finally, she sprayed the motorcycle with the paint for an event finish. Mr. Rudy’s motorcycle was fixed and it looked like a new motorcycle. I really admired her skill in repairing the motorcycle.

At first we arrived at the Safari Part at about 1 p.m. We bought tickets and entered the park. It was like a forest, but we had to enter through specific gates. They are equipped with electricity, so that the animals would not escape.

Not long after that we had been in the park. It was very large we felt surprised. We saw many kinds of wild animals lived freely as if they lived in their natural habitats. At first we stared to the view. No one talked. But then we began our comments on the view. We met lions, tigers, zebras, gorillas, camels, deer and so on. It was very exciting.
