Last weekend my family and I went to [a|an|the] Moscow zoo. It was [a|an|the] lot of fun! I saw [much|so|many] different animals. The first one that we saw was [an|a|the] giraffe. It had [a|an|the] very long neck and was yellow and orange in colour. Then we saw [a|an|the] family of tigers. They had an orange colouring and black stripes. They are very dangerous animals! Then we saw [an|a|the] elephant. It was very big! It also had big ears and [a|an|the] long trunk, and was gray in colour. Then we saw colourful [-|the|some] parrots. Some of them could speak. I think they are the most beautiful birds in the world. Now I want to have [a|an|the] parrot myself!
