A
kangaroo is an animal found only in Australia. It has a smaller relative,
called a wallaby, which lives on the Australian island of Tasmania and in New
Guinea.
Kangaroos
eat grass and plants. They have short
front legs, but very long and strong back legs and a tail. These are used for
sitting up and for jumping. Kangaroos have been known to make forward jumps of
over eight metres, and leap across fences more than three metres high. They can
also run at speeds of over 45 kilometres per hour.
The
largest kangaroos are the Great grey kangaroo and the Red Kangaroo. Adult grows
to a length of 1.60 metres and weighs over 90 kilos.
Kangaroos
are marsupials. This means that the female kangaroo has an external pouch on
the front of her body. A baby kangaroo is very tiny when it is born, and it
crawls at once into this pouch where it spends its first five months of life.

The
weather was very clear. My family and I decided to go camping last holiday.
Father prepared the tent and other equipment. Mother prepared the cooking and
eating utensils. I took my fishing rod and my brother brought his sport
equipment. When everything was ready, we left for the camping site in
countryside.
There
were many campers when we arrived at the camping site. Unfortunately, the good
location near the river had been occupied by other campers so we had to look
for another place. Finally, we found a good place little bit further. It was
near a big tree. After setting up the tent, my father and I went fishing. We
joined other people sitting on the rock near the river.
In
the evening, father made a fire. Mother cooked the fish we caught. I could say
that it was the best fish I had ever tasted. Sleeping in the tent was a
very wonderful experience. I woke up early in the morning. I felt fresh. Then I
accompanied my brother playing ball.
In
the afternoon, we went back home.

My Day
I had a terrible day yesterday. First, I woke
up an hour late because my alarm clock didn't go off. Then, I was in such a
hurry that I burned my hand when I was making breakfast. After breakfast, I got
