Our pets

	This is Rabbit Clare. She has soft white hair and red eyes. Carrots are the food she likes most. She is timid. She doesn't move much. She is lovely. Look at her red eyes. They are like rubies.
	My friend is a colourful parrot. His name is Perry. He likes eating seeds. He has a strong beak and he can speak. He keeps standing even when he's sleeping. Wow, it's amazing! Perry can speak like us. Yes, he's beautiful and clever as well.
	Mine is a lazy turtle. He likes eating small fish. He has a hard shell. He can hide himself in the shell when there is danger. Look he's like a piece of stone!
	My pets can neither jump nor climb but they can swim. They're my goldfish. The black one is Jack and the orange one is Jill. I enjoy watching them swim freely around. They like eating bread. They're always hungry and greedy for food.
