Thank you for the letter. I'm writing to tell you about animals at our zoo.
I go to the zoo every summer. I can see a lot of animals there. There are lots of different kinds of animals. There are African savannah animals, like lions or giraffes in the east of the zoo, they usually sleep or eat in the zoo, because they are very tired of humans. The absolute opposite of them, Arctic and Antarctic animals in the west. For example, there are some penguins and polar bears. They don't like sunny weather, so they often become ill in the summer. So, just swim in the cold water or lay in the aviary. What animals do you have at your town's zoo? I hope to see them as soon as possible!
I have to go. Write back soon.
Love,
<имя>
