I love animals very much. My favourite animal is the cat. I love cats because they are very smart. But I have no pets now because I'm so busy. When I'm free, I'll keep a cat or two.
—Dave
I like animals too! My grandparents have a big farm. When I'm free, I always help them there. It's so fun to be with the animals on the farm.
But I don't have any pets now. You know that you usually can't keep pets when you rent (租) a house. But when I have my own (自己的) house, I'll keep a pet dog. I think it's great fun playing with it!
—Clark
I also love animals! My parents often take me to the zoo to see 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. Those black and white pandas are so lovely!
—Becky
