Last weekend, I visited my pen pal’s house. His name is Anto. There were many activities I did there. In the morning, Anto and I had breakfast. We had traditional foot. I liked it very much.

After breakfast, he took me to the garden behind his house. The garden was very big and beautiful. there is a big bird cage in the garden. There were many kinds of birds in that cage. I spent a long time feeding the birds. I also took pictures with those beautiful birds.

After visiting the bird cage, Anto and I went to the flower garden not far from his house. We took a rest and had lunch under a big tree and watch butterflies flying above colourful flowers. In the afternoon, we swam in the pool in the backyard. It was so fun. I really enjoyed my time with Anto.
