Dear Vicki and Ken, Last month I visited England with my parents. We stayed in London with my uncle and aunt and my cousin Lily. My uncle has got a Chinese restaurant in London. We visited a lot of places but my favourite was London Zoo. We arrived at eleven o'clock in the morning and we stayed there until six o'clock. We walked around the zoo twice and looked at millions of animals. At twelve o'clock we watched the feeding of the pelicans. The keeper dropped some fish in the pool and the pelicans dived for it. Then Lily and I walked to the Touch Centre. In the Touch Centre there are a lot of animals and you can touch and stroke them My cousin tried to touch a wallaby - a small kangaroo - but it hopped away. Then I stroked a sheep and I touched a goat! Finally we looked at the monkeys. They played games and climbed the trees. The parents carried the baby monkeys and jumped around. We laughed a lot because they were very funny. Best wishes. The Touch Ce/K Dear Vicki and Ken,
