Next everybody got into the bus, and It took us to a visited in Madrid. at 11:00 o'clock we were in front of the Museum of Prado. We visited the park that is next to the museum, and later we entered the museum.

When we finished the visit, we went to have lunch. Lili, Ely, Magda, Tania, Gemma, Paula and I went to a bar and we ordered some sandwiches.

After lunch, I was a guide because I knew Madrid. First we went to the "Puerta de Alcalá" and I sang a song. Next we passed  "Cibeles" and went to the "Puerta del sol", "Plaça Major" and we tooke pictures. Gemma wanted to go the Real Palace but first we visited the "ajuntament" after that we visited Catedral de la Almudena and we finished the guide in the Real Palace. We entered the Real Palace, that is very expensive, big, fantastic, and it haved a lot of protection...

at 18:00 o c'lock, I met my friends to Madrid. we went to the hostel, and they stayed there until 20:00. Next all the class went to the dinner in fresco.

when dinner finished, Tania, Ely, Magda and I went to the center of Madrid (plaça Major) and at the 2:00 o'clock we arrived at the hostel and we went to sleep.

Is our zoos are or aren't cruel to wild animals. This is the most interesting question for the protection the animals. In my opinion, this is not true.

First of all, there are a lot of zoos in the world, and the people go there by see different species of animals and animals that are in danger.

Secondly the zoo protected the animals and they try to help these animals in danger of extinction.

As a result when we go to the zoo we like to see the different animals and If the zoo doesn't take care of these animals, they could die.

In conclusion, animals live better in zoos. Than in the jungle, because in the zoo they have a lot of things.
