Time flies. My summer vacation ended in the blink( 眨眼) of an eye, but one thing is still on my mind. From July 25 to 27, I worked as a volunteer at the Wolong China Giant Panda Garden
in Sichuan. I experienced the life of being a panda keeper
My work included cleaning the pandas home, feeding the pandas and making food for them The panda I took care of was named Jingke. When I went to feed him, he would stretch( 伸出) one of his forefeet out on a shelf that hung on the fence and wait for his food. He would quickly grab( 抓住) the food as soon as I brought it to him. Can you guess what would happen next? Jingke would lie down and begin to eat．I could hear him crunching into（嘎吱作响地咀嚼）his food and see him twisting (扭动))his body around like a dancer. It was really cute. This was one
cf the most interesting things I saw when I worked there
When I fed Jingke, I touched his fur(皮毛). Most people think that panda fur would be soft But actually, panda fur is very hard. It felt like I was touching needles（针）. I looked at his teeth too－they were sharp（锋利的）and big．No wonder（难）the panda keepers told us that pandas are not only cute, but also dangerous.
I was happy to be so close to the pandas. This experience let me know that it is not easy to be
a panda keeper.
