Mai
Last week I was with my friends in the History Museum of Hồ Chí Minh City. There was an interesting royal clothing exhibition from the Nguyễn Dynasty (1802 - 1945). The clothes looked expensive and fancy but I'm sure they weren't comfortable at all.
Tim
Our last school trip to the Natural History Museum wasn't boring but surprising. The building was beautiful, the food in the café was brilliant and the exhibits were really interesting. The most popular were the dinosaurs. The Diplodocus was 26 metres long. And the Tyrannosaurus Rex got 15-centimetre-long teeth.
Jess
My school trip to a farm was terrible. There weren't any exciting animals and the café wasn't very good. But it was great Jess fun at the National Motor Museum last week. There were many cars and motorbikes in the collection. Bluebird, the fastest car in 1964 was my favourite. Was it strange? - Yes, it was very big and long.
