Cuando yo tenía cinco años, fui al zoo en Washington, D.C. Estaban muchos animales allí. Vi a elefantes, leones, y pingüinos. Después de almorzamos, quise ver los pandas, pero mis padres quisieron ver a los tigres. Cuando anduvimos por la casa de panda, me marché mis padres para ir los ven, pero ellos no notaron. Había cien personas en la entrada. Me costó pasar la muchedumbre. Anduve hasta que yo fuera capaz de verlos por la ventana de cristal. Ellos eran muy grandes y parecieron agradables, pero ellos no eran muy interesantes. Los dos pandas se sentaban y no hacían algo. Me aburrí, y decidí volver a mis padres. Miré alrededor, pero yo no podía encontrarlos. Corrí fuera de la cueva, pero yo todavía no podía encontrarlos.
(…continued from above) Fui muy asustado. Cada uno esto anduvo por parecido tan grande a mí. Entonces volví al área de picnic. Cuando yo andaba, vi a mis padres. Ellos comían otra vez. Les corrí. Aprendí a no alejarme durante aquel día.
Here’s what I’m trying to say (I always write it out in English first before I try to write it in Spanish):

When I was five years old, I went to the zoo in Washington, D.C. There were many animals there. I saw elephants, lions, and penguins. After we ate lunch, I wanted to see the pandas, but my parents wanted to see the tigers. When we walked by the panda house, I left my parents to go see them, but they didn’t notice. There were a hundred people at the entrance. I could hardly get through the crowd. I walked until I was able to see them through the glass window. They were very big and looked nice, but they were not very interesting. The two pandas were sitting and not doing anything. I was bored, and decided to go back to my parents. I looked around, but I could not find them. I ran outside the cave, but I still could not find them. I was very scared. Everyone that walked by looked so big to me. So I went back to the picnic area. As I was walking, I saw my parents.
(…continued) I ran to them. That day, I learned never to run away from my parents.
