79 Our Playground

There is a big park in our town with lots of trees, flowers, and grass in it.

There are also places for tennis and volley-ball. There is a pond for small boats and a very small zoo, with a few wild animals in it.

For children the best place in the park is the playground. There they can swing and slide and go round and round for hours. During school hours, only the very small children are there, but on summer evenings, on Saturdays, and Sundays all the year, there are older children too. I like going to the playground with my friends because we are happy there. We laugh and shout and joke with each other.

There is a shed near the playground, and when it rains hard, the children go in here and wait until the rain stops. Then they come out again, running and shouting and laughing and in a minute they are all sliding and swinging and going round and round again.

我們的游樂場

我們鎮上有個大公園，里面有很多樹、花和草。那里還有打網球和排球的地方。里面有個池塘可以劃小船，還有個很小的動物園，里面有一些野生動物。

對孩子們來說，公園里最好的地方是游樂場。他們可以蕩秋千、滑滑梯、到處跑，玩上好幾個小時。在上課時間，那里只有很小的孩子，但在夏天的晚上、全年的周六和周日，那里也有大一點的孩子。我喜歡和朋友們一起去游樂場，因為在那里我們很開心。我們笑啊、叫啊，互相開著玩笑。

游樂場旁邊有座小屋，下大雨時，孩子們就在這里等雨停。然后他們又出來，跑著、叫著、笑著，很快，他們又都在蕩秋千、滑滑梯、到處跑了。
