3 Read Petra’s email about her trip. Number the pictures in the order she visited them.

We did so many things! On Monday, we visited a big shopping mallB1 with over a hundred different stores and restaurants. That evening, we went to a showA2, ‘The Lion King’. Fantastic! The next day, we went to a fairB1, where there were rides to go on and lots of things to eat and buy. It was really crowded. On Wednesday morning, we went to a zooA1 to see the pandas (cute!) and other animals. In the afternoon, we visited a large cathedralA2 with coloured glass windows, and also a beautiful mosqueA2. On Thursday, we climbed 210 stairs up a tall towerB1 to see the view over the city. My legs were so tired! On the last day, Friday, we went to a circusB1. They were no animals, just people, and they flew through the air, and did gymnastics and things. We left on Saturday. I’m still tired but it was a great trip.
