Reading

Last Saturday, Emma and her family went to the city aquarium. They arrived at nine o'clock in the morning. First, they watched the dolphins jumping in the large pool. Emma thought it was amazing! Then they visited the tropical fish section and saw many colourful fish swimming around the rocks. Emma's little brother loved the jellyfish tank the most because the jellyfish were floating like dancing ghosts. They had lunch at the café and ate fish and chips.

She had a wonderful day and wants to go back next month.
