What animals do you like? My favorite animals are pandas and koalas. Because they are very smart. I often draw pictures of them.

There is a new clothes store between my home and the park. The clothes are cheap and nice. Many people go there every day.

I keep a pet dog called Xiaohei. She is three years old. She can dance and play with a ball. All people in my family like her.

Julie is my good friend. She is a good girl. At home, she often helps mom do the dishes. At school, she often helps her classmates with their studies.

Elephants are smart animals, and they are kind and interesting. Some elephants can draw pictures with their noses(鼻子).

    Do you know any famous rabbits？One of the best­known rabbits is Miffy. Dutch artist Dick Bruna created her in 1955 in a picture book.

    During a rainy and windy holiday, Bruna began to write a story to keep his young son happy. Soon, the first 12­page picture book was made, and the world welcomed Miffy, the rabbit.

    Since then, kids from all over the world have gone on a journey with Miffy. Miffy has been in 118 books.

    So what makes her such a popular rabbit？Maybe it comes from her simple style(简洁的风格). She has long ears, two dots for her eyes, and a cross(十字)for her mouth. The simple style makes it easy for children to draw themselves.

    "I spend a lot of time making my drawings as simple as possible, " said Bruna to Junior magazine."I leave lots of space (空间) for children's imagination…That is the strength(力量)of simplicity."
