Lee

Do you know where we will go today, Pat?

Pat

Yes, I do. The teacher says we will go to a zoo.

Lee

Do you think we will see a lot of new animals there?

Yes, I think so. Our teacher says the animals in the zoo are not the same as the animals on a farm. All the animals in the zoo will be new for us.

Lee

It was very good at the farm yesterday. I like that farm. I like the animals and I like the fruit trees. I like all the things on that farm, and I really like the farmer.

Me, too. The farmer was very kind to us.

Lee

The teacher knows some of the people who work in the zoo. Some of those people are her friends. Those people know all about the animals in the zoo. The teacher says we can ask her friends any questions we want.

Pat

Good. We will have to ask them the names of some of the animals we don’t know yet.

Lee

And we will have to ask them how to spell some of the names. That’s because we will have to write about the zoo and the teacher wants our writing to be correct.

Pat

What about the word ‘zoo’. We will have to write that, too. Do you know how to spell ‘zoo’?

Lee

Yes, I do. It’s easy… ‘Z’… ‘O’…’O’…

Pat

Yes, I think that’s right. Yes, it is. That’s correct. It’s not a difficult word to spell, is it? Well, come on! It’s time to go to school. Let’s get our books and go to school.

你知道我們今天要去哪兒嗎，佩特？

李

昨天在農場玩得很開心，我喜歡那個農場。我喜歡動物，我喜歡果樹。我喜歡那個農場的一切，我也真的很喜歡那個農場主。

佩特

我也是，那個農場主對我們很好。

李

老師認識一些動物園裡的工作人員，其中有些是她的朋友。那些工作人員知道動物園裡的動物的所有事情。老師說我們可以向她的朋友詢問任何問題。

好啊，我們要問他們一些我們還不知道的動物的名稱。

“zoo”這個單詞呢？我們也得寫下來，你知道怎樣拼“zoo”嗎？

嗯，我知道，很容易，Z——O——O。
