Describe a place where you've enjoyed watching animals — a park, the sea, a farm, anywhere.

B Natural answer

One of the best places I have enjoyed watching animals was a family farm outside the town where my cousin lives. We went there on a Sunday, and I liked how easy it was to move around and look at everything. The sheep were wandering slowly across the field, and the horses stayed near the fence. I spent a lot of time standing from a safe distance, especially when the farmer brought out the larger animals. That made me feel comfortable, but I still got a really good view. We also found a corner that felt like the quietest part of the farm, so I could hear the birds and the wind very clearly. By the end, the animals seemed completely relaxed, and I was too. It was calm, simple, and much more interesting than I expected.
