SAMPLE 1/1 

Hello everyone,

Today I want to talk about my favorite pet. My favorite pet is a dog. His name is Bruno.

Bruno is brown and white. He has soft fur and a small tail. He is very cute and friendly. He lives in our house. He sleeps near my bed every night.

Every morning, I give him food and water. He loves to eat rice and chicken. I also play with him in the evening. He runs fast and loves to catch the ball.

When I come back from school, Bruno jumps happily and wags his tail. He makes me feel very happy. He is not just a pet, he is like my best friend.

I love Bruno because he is loyal, fun, and always loves me. He makes our home full of joy.

Thank you!


SAMPLE 2/2 

Hello everyone,

Today I want to talk about my favorite pet. My favorite pet is a cat. Her name is Kitty.

Kitty is white and gray. She has soft fur and green eyes. She is very cute and quiet. She sleeps a lot during the day and plays at night.

Every morning, I give her milk and fish. She loves to sit near the window and look outside. Sometimes, she jumps on my lap and sleeps there.

Kitty makes a soft sound—meow meow—when she wants food. She also purrs when I pet her. I love to brush her fur and play with a toy mouse.

I love Kitty because she is gentle, clean, and fun to be with. She makes me smile every day.

Thank you!
