Ok then, well the time I’m gonna talk to you about is when I saw a monkey, actually a group of monkeys to be exact, um, at uh... Hangzhou Zoo, along with a lot of other animals there. But I found the monkeys to be the most interesting to look at, as I’ll (come to) explain in a moment.

So uh, what can I say about them? Um…well, firstly I’m not exactly sure what species of monkey they were, I’m afraid. You know, I didn’t really pay that much attention to the placard at the bottom explaining what they were, cos my eyes were just drawn to all the movement in the cage! So all I can really say is that they were small monkeys.

And the reason I found them interesting was that they seemed to kind of have this, like, strong awareness of the fact that I was there, you know, they could, like, sense my presence and um, it sort of felt like they were communicating with me in some kind of way when I made eye contact with them.

It was also funny seeing them darting around the cage, you know, and climbing around all the trees. I mean, they literally couldn’t sit still for five minutes! And that’s another reason why I found them so fascinating to watch.

So yeah, I think I’ve pretty much covered everything, but I’ll just finish by saying that I think they’re really cute animals, and you know, looking at their hands, it’s like miniature versions of our hands, and it’s just so cute seeing how they hold stuff, you know, like how they clutch bananas and things when they’re eating them.

I’ll stop there, cos I think time’s pretty much up!
