We visited the Wildlife Park.The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals. Some are native to Australia and can only be found there. There are more than 500 animals there, including kangaroos, koala and crocodiles. They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo. In zoos, most of the animals are in cages.We first spent some time with the kangaroos. We could touch and feed them. It was very exciting to be so close to them. There were koalas there too. They looked very cuddly. Although we couldn't carry koalas, I could take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir of my holiday in Sydney.The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are really big and scary with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.There was also a bird show. The keepers showed us different species of birds. I saw an ol d parrot.

It is based on a short play of the same name by Liu Cixin, China's top science-fiction writer.1. Capsule(太空舱) —a core (核心) element(要素)The space capsule used in the film has made the audience inte rested. “This was the first time anything like that was done,” said Wang Hong, the producer of the movie. At first, the production team planned to use a small space capsule that had appeared in an earlier film, but found that it could not meet their needs for filming.2. Giant Vehicles(巨大的车辆) —key to the filmGiant vehicles are the key element in the film. Famous actors, Ng Man-tat and Wu Jing, said they could not even imagine what these vehicles would be like before filming, because the idea was far ahead of our time. The production team made about 10, 000 props to show the space better, including the giant vehicles.3. Saving planet itselfIn the film, the earth itself is pushed forward by 10, 000 giant thrusters. It carries 3. 5 billion people about 4. 2 light years through space in order to avoid destruction by the dying sun. In Liu's story, each thruster is 11, 000 meters in height.4. Amazing openingAt the beginning of the film, it shows the environment and life in an underground city—a big tree growing upside down, busy bookstores and snack bars and so on.

Snow scenes are shown only at the beginning of the film.CChina and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea—pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid.Just look at some Chinese sayings such as “Boiling a dead pig.” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig.” And in English, there are some expressions like “Eating like a pig.” and “Pigs might fly.” None of them are complimentary.However, pigs have some good qualities. They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They have good memories. And they know whether people treat them well or not.A UK cartoon, Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon. The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship and the value of family. And a Chinese cartoon film, the Adventures of Mcdull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, Mcdull, has a heart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams. Most people want quick success, but Mcdull is slow and patient, and not afraid of failing again and again.Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities.31.
