Q1: Have you ever been to a zoo? If yes, write a short diary entry describing your experience. If not, would you like to visit one?  Why /Why not?

Ans: 

Dear Diary,

Today was extraordinary—I finally visited the city zoo! The excitement bubbled inside me like a geyser as we approached the gates, the wild chorus of animal calls beckoning from within.

The first exhibit we encountered was the monkeys, their playful antics a delight. They swung with such carefree joy, it was impossible not to smile. As we wandered, the zoo unfolded like a treasure map, each turn revealing a new wonder. The lions, regal and imposing, lay in the sun with a dignified air that commanded respect.

Lunchtime was an adventure in itself, surrounded by the vivid chatter of parrots and the laughter of children. I had the chance to feed a giraffe—its tongue was as long and as rough as the stories say, and it gently took the lettuce from my hand.

But it wasn't all just spectacle and amusement. The zoo also had educational displays about conservation and the challenges facing wildlife. It was a sobering reminder of our responsibility to these magnificent creatures and their habitats.

I left with a kaleidoscope of emotions, thrilled by the close encounters, yet pensive about what the future holds for them. Would I return? In a heartbeat. But I also feel a newfound commitment to support conservation efforts that help ensure these animals survive and thrive in the wild, not just in the zoo.

Until next time,

Q2: You were travelling by bus/train/plane recently and were pleasantly surprised to see a well known celebrity sitting next to you. Write a diary entry describing your experience and your feelings about it.

3. why you liked/did not like the experience 

Ans:

Dear Diary,

What a serendipitous journey I had today! As I settled into my seat on the train to Chicago, none other than the renowned actor Chris Lightheart took the seat beside me. I recognized him immediately from his role in the blockbuster "Sky Avengers," though he was much more unassuming in person, dressed casually and wearing sunglasses.

We struck up a conversation after I helped him stow his luggage, and surprisingly, he was incredibly down to earth. We talked about everything from the weather to our favorite books. He shared stories from his travels and film sets, and his laughter was infectious.

Despite his fame, Chris never once acted superior. He listened intently to my tales of working in a small art gallery and seemed genuinely interested. He even asked for a recommendation on which exhibition to visit next.

I admit I was a bit starstruck, but the experience was genuinely delightful. It was refreshing to meet someone so famous who was also so grounded and kind. It's a reminder that beneath the glitz and glamour, celebrities are just people, too.

I'll treasure this unique encounter, Diary. Not just because I met a star, but because I met a truly great person.

Forever amazed,

[Your Name]
