A visit to a zoo can be an amazing experience for people of all ages. If you want to get close to wildlife, why not visit one of the following zoos in the UK?
Longleat Safari (游猎）& Adventure Park
Wiltshire’s Longleat Safari & Adventure Park is the UK’s oldest safari park. Opened in 1966, it was the first safari park opened outside Africa. It was just a 100-acre lion reserve (保护区)in the beginning, but it has grown fast over the years. Now you can see parrots and other creatures here, although lions are still popular with many people.
Open from mid-February to early November，a day ticket costs £26 for adults. Admission for 3 to 14-year-olds is £18.50 and £21 for the over-60s.
Located just off the A36 between Bath and Salisbury, it can be reached by taking the A362.
Bristol Zoo
Bristol Zoo is one of the UK’s oldest zoos. It will celebrate its 180th anniversary in 2016. Here, you will find over 400 different species of creatures. It also has nine animal houses, so even if the weather isn’t at its best, there are still lots of amazing creatures to look at, including the endangered red panda.

Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself
In all one's life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. 1.
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach. 2. It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.
Gain a correct view of oneself.
You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. 3.
Self-appreciate.
Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature. 4. If you earnestly admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation.
5.In time of anger, do yourself a favor by releasing it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.

A.It has its own value.
B.Do oneself a favor when it’s needed.
