Good afternoon. This is BBC news. On July 12, a tiger got free from a zoo and shocked

people in a park in Spain. It happened on Saturday, and they were a lot of people in the park. It took the police over 20 minutes to catch the tiger. They then returned it to the zoo. Thankfully, nobody got hurt in the accident.

British people sent 3.19 billion text messages last month, says a recent report. This is more

than 100 million messages each day. What surprising numbers! Are all British busy sending messages every day?

Thank you all for listening.
