Exercise 2 Revise the following paragraph.
Yesterday my class visited the new zoo, and I found it far more interesting than the old
zoo because of the way the animals are kept. There are no old-fashioned cages with bars.
Instead, natural-looking areas with fences prevent the animals and visitors from getting
hurt. You would not believe how many animals live in this zoo! I saw elephants. I saw
eels. I saw cute baby koala bears. The zoo director explained how each kind of animal
lives in the wild. The zoo director explained how her staff has tried to reproduce those
conditions within the zoo. I thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and I hope to go back soon.
