Dear Musa,

     . Hi, how are you and your parents. It is been long I saw your letter. I hope you are coping with your academics very well. My school organized a science excursion. Our teacher took the attendance of the children before going.

       Twenty five pupils went on that excursion. Gate fees were collected to the cashier before going into the zoological garden. The most interesting cage visited was the Elephant’s cage. The most fearful cage was the Lion’s cage.

    We saw animal like Gorilla and snake just to mention few. We spent five hours. Our teacher took the attendance before leaving the garden to ensure that nobody was missing. The journey was safe and pleasant. Greetings to all other friends.

                                                             Yours friend,

                                                              Ogbeyinwa Femi.
