    My family and I went to the Superstar Circus last weekend. We went to the last show at nine o'clock. The horses performed first. The horses danced around when the band started to play in order to make everyone happy.

    The young acrobats (杂技演员) were up next. They put on the amazing performance on two-legged chairs. The most special one was performed by a fifteen-year-old girl. She rode a bicycle on a rope (绳索),but it was difficult for her to ride the bike on the thin rope. As she tried to ride from one end to the other, she almost fell down twice. The crowd broke into a loud applause (掌声) when she finally finished her performance.

    Next, a large elephant stepped carefully on its trainer before walking over him. The people gave them loud applause once again, l was actually an exciting act!

    The clowns (小丑) offered the people the interesting act during the break. They played jokes on each other and even on some of the people in the crowd. We had a laugh as they finished their act with a funny song and dance.

    After the break came the wild animals. The lions would sit, run and shout according to trainers' orders. The trainer was so close to the lions that we were worried about them much.

    The show ended with a group of clever chimpanzees showing off their maths skills.

    It was already eleven o'clock when we left the circus. We went home, excited by the experience of watching a great, live show. It was a show not to be missed!
