Ocean Park

We went to Ocean Park this Friday. Mr.Woo and Mr.Lee were the leader of this trip. We separated into many groups. My group members were Yentl and Mandy. Both of them were very brave therefore we could take many different kinds of amusement rides together.
I took the 'Mine Train' with Mandy. Besides 'The Abyss' , I thought this is the most exciting facilities. Yentl didn't take it, maybe she was afraid. At the beginning, I felt scared and my heart was bitting so fast but after that I wanted to play one more time. I just shouted when the train was falling down. My throat still became uncomfortable. Next, we took the 'Raging River'. All of us were wet. Afterward, we took the 'Dragon' and 'Crazy Galleon'. I didn't shout because I took them for many before. When I saw Yentl screamed, I was happy. I felt a bit bored becuse they were not exciting to me therfore I sang our school song when we were tooking the amusement rides.(There has a few people) It is funny and interesting. You can try it next time. Of course, the song was not be pleasant to listen. I felt ill after tooking these rides so I didn't took the 'Abyss', it is a pity I missed the opportunity to take it.
Finally, we went to have lessons and joined together again. The lessons were taking about pandas and dolphins. I knew more about them such as their eating habits and forelimb structure. I will protect them and do the things that I can do for them. They were lovely.
I slept for a moment when we were going back to school. I felt very tired but it is a enjoyable day.
