What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.

Ⅳ.One possible version：
It was the first time that I had been away home without parents during the May Day. I went on a trip with my class to the zoo in Toronto. We left the hotel where we stayed very early in the morning because we had a long journey. We spent the whole day in the zoo. I could remember seeing whales, bears and some other animals for the first time. I was very excited.
At midday, we had our picnic lunch in a park near the zoo. After lunch, we visited the reptile house and saw many kinds of animals. It was fantastic. At 5 o'clock, we got on the bus and drove to the hotel.
In conclusion，it was the best trip I have enjoyed.
