I live on a small street. My house is in the middle of the street. In front of my house there is a small supermarket. To the left of the supermarket is a library and to the right of the supermarket is a post office. Behind my house there is a small park with a few trees and a small garden (花园). At the end of my street there is a hill (小山) with lots of trees.
On weekends, my family often climbs the hill. It takes us about 15 minutes to walk there from our house.

Dave
I love animals very much. My favorite animal is cats because they are very smart. But I have no pets now, because I’m so busy. When I’m free, I’ll have a cat or two.
Clark
I like animals too! My grandparents have a big farm (农场). When I’m free, I always help them there. It’s so cool to be with the animals on the farm.
But I don’t have any pets now. You know you usually can’t have pets when you rent (租) a house. But when I have my house, I’ll have a pet dog. I think it’s great fun playing with him!
Becky
I also love animals! My parents often take me to the zoo to watch the animals. There are scary lions, cute kangaroos (袋鼠) and smart elephants. They come from different places.
I really love kangaroos, because they are so cute. I also love pandas. They are just so beautiful!
I have a pet fish at home now. It’s very quiet.
