CHILDREN’S BEST FRIENDS
Hello! I’m Ann.
Do you like animals? I love them!
I often go to the zoo to see wild
animals and I have got a pet
at home. It’s a hamster, he is
male and his name is Zoard. He is
a half years old. He’s small
and his hair is light brown. He’s got big eyes and a
small black nose. His nose always moves as he sniffs
and it is very funny. He’s got big ears, long teeth and
long moustache. His legs are very short and he’s got
a short tail, too. His body is long and he’s a little bit
fat. He likes eating. He eats seeds but his favourites
are nuts. I buy his food at the pet shop. He lives in a
cage and he’s got a lot of toys. He likes his wheel
best, he runs around it. At night he’s in the hall
because hamsters are nocturnal and Zoard is very
noisy.
I feed him every day and put clean water in his
water bowl. On Saturday afternoons I clean his cage
and put fresh raspings into it.
I love him and I think he is one of my best friends.
