Woman:   Hi. Today you’re going to do your project. It’s called Helping because it’s about what people do to look after animals.

First, you’re going to do a drawing. It’s difficult to draw a monkey because they move so much, so you’re going to draw a tiger.

Water is very important for our animals, and at ten forty-five you’re going to go with our staff to give some animals their water. Then, at eleven thirty, you’ll see our youngest animal. He’s really beautiful; he’s a baby lion. He’s called Sohatu. I’ll spell that for you, so you can find out more about him on our website. It’s S-O-H-A-T-U.

After that, you’ll see the dolphins. Some dolphins can live to be sixty years old, but our oldest dolphin is thirty-seven. He’s about one hundred kilos and two metres long.

At the end of the day, we’ll give you a present -a poster. You can also go to the shop and buy perhaps a T-shirt or a toy.

Jasmine:   Thank you for taking me camping with you last weekend, Aunt Lizzie.

Lizzie:   It was great, wasn’t it, Jasmine? Especially when we went swimming. It was too windy to swim in the sea, but the lake was great anyway. Perhaps next time we can try the river.

Jasmine:   Sleeping in a tent was new for me. I was worried about it on the first night, but I soon found out how exciting it is! My brother was very unhappy that he couldn’t come with us.

Lizzie:   Cooking was fun. Well, sometimes. It was difficult to cook the omelette, but I loved grilling the steak on a barbecue. Did you like the pasta I made?

Jasmine:   Yes, I was really hungry that day.

Lizzie:   The campsite was quite big, but it’s a pity they didn’t have anywhere to buy food and things. And the showers were a bit dirty, but OK. Which activity did you like best?

Jasmine:   Well, running in the forest was OK, but hard. But fishing was amazing, even more fun than cycling!

Lizzie:   I’m glad you had a good time.
