There's a flick downwards on the right edge of the first stroke.
Maybe not apparent in computer fonts, but obvious in handwriting fonts and explained in the book (you do have the book right?)

Mending is just a variant of 正
Zoo is derived from a picture of a foot and has a hook.

I *really* recommend installed the stroke order font if you haven't done so already:

many PC fonts differ hugely from the (correct) written counterparts - sometimes it's not obvious. This font shows exactly how they should be handwritten, and in what order - very useful for building good habits!
