July 13th                                                 Sunny     Today, we finally reached the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). A shark followed our ship. Many icebergs were on the sea and we saw two polar bears on one of them. It was very cold but the jackets kept us warm.

July 29th                                             Cloudy     I didn't know that an African safari (游猎) could be so exciting! We saw some lions. They were the kings of all animals! They did not run or catch animals, and they just slept.     We also saw elephants behind the trees and many giraffes. The giraffes were eating leaves on the top of the trees.

August 8th                                             Rainy     In the Amazon rainforest, we heard a scary sound. It was the sound of many monkeys in the trees. However, I think the birds and their songs were more amazing.
