Animals are people’s friends. Now lots of families keep pets in their houses. Many pets are small animals, such as cats, dogs, birds and so on.

The dog is the favorite pet. The second is the cat and the third is the bird. These animals are very cute and friendly. People usually have them as their family members (成员). They look after them very well, they let them wear beautiful clothes and they give them nice names. They also give their pets nice food to eat. They buy food for their pets in pet shops. They keep them clean every day.

Pets are all very happy. Many pets have their houses and beds. They often go out to relax and take a walk with people in the park in the morning.

Some children like pets because they need a friend to play with at home. Many old people don’t live with their children, and they keep pets at home just because they often feel lonely (孤独的). They have them as their children and they love them very much. So pets are important for them. I think every family needs pets at home.

In our school, there is a long break (休息) between the second class and the third class in the morning.

Look! Many of us are playing during the break time. Some students are on the playground. They are having a basketball game. Oh! A boy is running with a ball. And another is trying (尽力) to stop him. They are so cool. And there are some girls watching the game. Some students are in the classroom. They are talking. Some of them are reading or doing homework. Look! A girl is looking at the birds in a tree in front of the classroom.                    She must think of something interesting because she is smiling (微笑).

What are the teachers doing? Well, some of them are working in the office, and some are talking with students. Everyone is busy with his or her things. Busy but happy!
