21、The best day of the week for shoppers is Saturday. In America, women do most of the shopping, and young people also enjoy shopping with their friends. Men don’t enjoy spending their time in the shops. There are many places to shop but the best is the shopping mall.

In August they buy shoes, socks, dresses, coats and sweaters for the new school year. For the kitchen, the mother might buy cooking pots(锅), drinking glasses, and so on. Furniture for the living room includes(包括) a sofa , different chairs and a TV set. The bedroom furniture has beds and mirrors(镜子). Finally, there are pictures in most rooms.

22、On my recent trip to Sydney with my parents, we visited the Wildlife Park.

The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals and birds. Some are native (当地的) to Australia and can only be found there. There are over 600 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas and crocodiles (鳄鱼). They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo where most of the animals are in cages (笼子).

We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We were allowed to touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly (令人想拥抱的). Although we were not allowed to carry them, I got to take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir (纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.

The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are really big and scary (吓人的) with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.

There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species (种类) they had. I saw an old parrot which could “talk”. It made a great impression on me.
