Many places in Singapore       us. First, we visited Singapore Zoo and Jurong Bird Park.         the places are very large and many animals live there. So we had to       a whole day seeing all of the animals. However, the most interesting         was the Bird Show in Jurong Bird Park. We enjoyed the         of the birds. The workers had trained the birds carefully and patiently for long       they could dance, sing and even play basketball. At the end of the show, they sent the visitors a message that       people’s awareness of protecting birds. I think it is a very helpful and practical       of educating people about the nature protection.
