13. I went to the zoo yesterday and I saw panda for the
first time. Panda is the very cute animal I've ever
seen. It has little eyes with black spots around
them. His body is black and white colored. Panda's
body is almost look alike with bear. Panda looks
like tame animals but it's actually not. Panda eats
bamboo and they almost eat 40 kg bamboo in just
one day. Panda is animal from China. I like Panda
because they're cute.

14. My Dog
