Our Kenyan adventure
Read the online blog about a trip to a wildlife park and say if the sentences are true (T) or false (F).

Do you remember I said my parents had been given a holiday in Kenya for their 25th wedding anniversary? Well, we had the most fantastic holiday. First of all, the colours of the countryside, the sky, the whole way of life. I'd been told by friends how wonderful the people were, but perhaps the best part was visiting the wildlife parks, although in one of them, we had a frightening experience with a tiger. We were being driven slowly through the park and had stopped near a waterhole to photograph the animals drinking. There were giraffes and even a small elephant. It was quite incredible! Suddenly, a strange sound was heard near the car and the huge face of a tiger appeared at my window! We were all told to keep calm. The guide said the worst thing we could do was scream as that would frighten the animal. The tiger circled the car for what seemed like ages and we all held our breath. I was too afraid even to take photos. In the end, the guide was right - the tiger got bored and walked away. We were driven away, still shaking. Stay tuned for more exciting details tomorrow...
A: In one nature reserve the blogger had a frightening incident with a wild animal.
