上个月我去了趟北京动物园，那里约有500种动物，听导游说北京动物园是亚洲最大的动物园之一。 去年放暑假的时候，我也去过一次，我在那儿看了马、熊猫、老虎等动物。我特别喜欢熊猫，可惜它们当时大多在睡觉。 我去的那天正赶上六一儿童节，许多父母带着孩子去动物园。入口处排队的人很多，动物园里热闹极了。熊猫们也变得特别活泼，我还给它们照了不少照片呢。 大熊猫身子胖胖的，样子可爱极了。 不过，它们数量不多，现在全世界一共才有一千多只吧。 以前只有中国有大熊猫，为了表示友好，从1957年开始，中国把大熊猫作为礼物送给其他一些国家。现在，很多国家的人们在本国都能看到大熊猫了。

Last month I took a trip to Beijing Zoo. There are about 500 species of animals there. The tour guide said Beijing Zoo is one of the largest zoos in Asia. During last year’s summer vacation, I also went once. I saw horses, pandas, tigers, and other animals there. I especially like pandas, but unfortunately most of them were sleeping at the time. The day I went happened to be Children's Day on June 1st, and many parents took their children to the zoo. There were many people lining up at the entrance, and the zoo was extremely lively. The pandas were especially lively, too, and I also took quite a few photos of them. Giant pandas have chubby bodies, and they look extremely cute. But there aren’t many of them; right now there are only a little over a thousand worldwide in total, I guess. In the past, only China had giant pandas. To show goodwill, starting in 1957, China gave giant pandas as gifts to some other countries. Now, people in many countries can see giant pandas in their own countries.
