My lovely doll
My Teddy Bear :
I have a favorite doll. It is an original Teddy
Bear from America. Aunt Lily gave it to me last
year when she returned from her business trip in
New York. I was very happy. I put it on a cabinet
next to my bed. Sometimes I use it as a pillow.
My Teddy Bear is very big, and the colour is
brown. It is about 150 centimeters tall and the
width is about 50 centimeters. When I put it on
my bed it will occupy half of it. It is almost as big
as my body. It is made of typical kind of fabric
called rasfur. The head is round with the size of
25 centimeters. It has two ears which located on
top of its head. The shape of the ear is half circle
and the size is half of my palm. The colour of its
eye is dark brown. I think it is made of glass since
I can see through it. It has a light brown ribbon
encircling its neck. On the sole of each foot,
there is a paw pattern made of smooth fabric.
