Describe a time when you got close to wild animals
CUE CARD
You should say:
Where you were
What the animals were doing
Who was with you
And explain what your reaction was
ANSWER
(Where you were)
My first interaction with wild animals can be traced back to my primary school, particularly grade 3. I had the chance to go on a field trip to the Saigon Botanic Garden, where various kinds of wild animals are residing. This was a fully-funded field trip organized by my school.
(What the animals were doing)
The majority of the animals were eating and sleeping, mean while some other kinds of animals were enjoying their limited free time. What I love about Saigon Botanic Garden is that it creates an open habitat for animals that bears as much resemblance to the real habitat of each species as possible, thus this organisation has remained prestigious for many years.
(Who were with you)
Because it was a school field trip, I went there with some of my classmates and a teacher who was in charge of supervising us and carrying out research activities. The other kids were also very excited as they got to see such kinds of animals in the near distance with the naked eye rather than seeing them on TV or in books.
(And explain what your reaction was)
I was excited, of course, as I could finally get to see dangerous wild animals in a safe way, for both human beings and the animals themselves thanks to the effective operation strategy of this botanic garden. However, when I saw two large pythons right next to my feet, I nearly passed out because I was so scared.
