IW. Read the story and choose the best title. A. A tiring experience
B The best safari tour
C. A lucky day
It had always been our dream to travel to southern Africa, and we had made
a lot of plans for our trip. I wanted to take a lot of wildlife photographs, so my
friend recommended me to take two cameras. When we arrived in Namibia, I
saw that I had lost one of the cameras. Luckily, I found it later.
The next day, we started out on our safari with a tour. By the end of our tour,
we had seen some amazing things. One time, when we stopped to take pictures,
we were only a few feet away from a cheetah. Amazing!
We didn't bother animals at night. However, we heard their various calls and
other noises outside our tent every night. At first, I was afraid of the sounds, but
not by the end of the trip. It was really the most incredible* trip I had ever taken.
