​Read the following travel blog and answer the questions.

​Last summer, my family visited a famous national park. The climate there was very different from our city. In the morning, there was thick fog, so we couldn't see the valley or the mountain tops clearly. However, as the sun came up, it became possible to see the beautiful green grass and a small stream flowing through the plain.

​We saw many interesting animals. Near the water, a big hippo was resting, and we even saw a goose swimming. My sister liked the insects in the bushes, but I preferred looking for a koala in the trees.

​In the afternoon, we visited a local village. It was their harvest festival. We learned about a special custom: people wear flower crowns to thank nature for a good year. The guide told us that protecting the environment is important so that these animals stay able to live safely in their homes. We could either go hiking on the coast or stay in the village for dinner. We chose to stay and enjoyed the starry night.
